Must use 'Attr-26 = ...' instead of 'Vendor-Specific = ...' even when setting explicitly Attr-26 (or vendor data type)

[Francesco Di Nucci]

Hi,

I am using FreeRADIUS 3.0.27 on EL9, and I'm trying to set a Vendor 
Attribute in replies.

For context, I am trying to authenticate SuperMicro BMCs with LDAP (see 
thread 
https://lists.freeradius.org/pipermail/freeradius-users/2018-March/091085.html)

So in my enabled site I edited the post-auth section

post-auth {
     update {
         reply:Attr-26 := "0x483D342C20493D34"
     }
}

This results in "Cannot parse RHS hex as the data type of the attribute 
Vendor-Specific"

As it's missing Vendor ID, I tried to add it. Super Micro PEN on IANA is 
10876, so full vendor attribute should be 1A1200002A7C483D342C20493D34 
if I am correct:

post-auth {
     update {
         reply:Attr-26 := "1A1200002A7C483D342C20493D34"
     }
}

And here the result is Must use 'Attr-26 = ...' instead of 
'Vendor-Specific = ...' , even if I am setting reply:Attr-26

Does anyone have a suggestion? I'd like to add it to post-auth (and not 
to mods-enabled/ldap) to then add a conditional on NAS-Identifier = 
"SUPERMICRO BMC"

Thanks in advance

Francesco
