MAC Authentication Queries

[FreeRAD]

Hi Alan,

Thank you for the reply here. I have put the closing braces only around the
Authorize section but this issue is still occurring.

I'm not sure what you are referring to about commenting out the rest of the
Authorize section?

Furthermore, there are plenty of other "if" statements in the various
virtual server files that don't also have "else"s, so what is the
requirement for it in this situation? I have tested without the else and it
seems to work ok but it would be useful to know the implications of this.

Many thanks
