Migrating configuration. Users file

Hi Alan,

You are absolutely right that changing one thing at the time is the best
way to go. the first thing I changes was the version of FreeRadius so I
had to rebuild my complete config file. Most things are working fine
again. But in the rebuilding of the config file some things actually
changed a lot because the old syntax was simply not working anymore.

Anyway, now for the users file and the group mapping:

My ldap configuration looks like this:

ldap betterbe {
        server = "ldap.fqdn"
        base_dn = "ou=better.be,dc=betterbe,dc=com"
        user {
                base_dn = "${..base_dn}"
                filter = "(mailLocalAddress=%{User-Name})"
        }
        group {
                base_dn = "${..base_dn}"
                filter = "(objectClass=posixGroup)"
                name_attribute = cn
                membership_filter =
"(&(objectClass=posixGroup)(memberUid=%{Stripped-User-Name}))"
        }
        options {
                chase_referrals = yes
                rebind = yes
                res_timeout = 10
                srv_timelimit = 3
                net_timeout = 1
                idle = 60
                probes = 3
                interval = 3
        }
        tls {
                start_tls = no
        }
        update {
                control:Password-With-Header    += 'userPassword'
                control:NT-Password             := 'sambaNTPassword'
                control:LM-Password             := 'sambaLMPassword'
        }
        edir = no
        edir_autz = no
}


Some entry out of my authorize file:

DEFAULT ldap_betterbe-Ldap-Group == "werkneme-betterbe", Realm ==
"betterbe.com", Huntgroup-Name == "wireless"
        Aruba-User-Vlan = 101,
        Aruba-User-Role = "authenticated"

And the corresponding enrty out of my dictionary file:

ATTRIBUTE       ldap_betterbe-Ldap-Group    3000    string

In the past the user was found based on it's Stripped-User-Name.

As you can see in my previous debug logging, I'm able to authenticate
with an user out of my ldap environment, the only thing is that some
attributes are not populated.
