OK,

So, how do you call your perl module? Can the perl module look for that information for you?

FreeRADIUS only deals with attributes defined in the dictionaries.

*IF* your perl module cannot deal with the Cisco-AVPair attributes, you could re-write it to Tmp-Integer-0, or similar - that is an attribute that is already defined.
Note that you will need to use the “integer" expansion (see https://freeradius.org/radiusd/man/unlang.html <https://freeradius.org/radiusd/man/unlang.html>), as group 2 of your regex is a string.

I say IF in big letters here - perl is fine at handling this stuff, if you’re already sending everything to perl, and if you’re going to have to make changes to it to handle this new attribute anyway, why not do all of this in perl?

(Perl is, of course, slow. However on smaller networks it will be fine).



NOTE - you *still* need to fix your regex, as it is broken. Please see my email from last week for information on doing that.
