Hi,
I've been working and (also a little bit deploying) with FreeRADIUS
2.1.1 for a while and everything has been smooth enough.
Today for the first time I step into a problem with the handling of
NAI sent by the client through the NAS. The problem consists in the
prensence of a WiMAX decoration inside the NAI. As stated by WiMAX
Forum 1.2 Stage 3 a NAI can be composed by a Username, a realm and an
optional part known as WiMAX decoration. To be more precise a valid
NAI, according to WF is the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
FreeRADIUS 2.1.1 seems to be unable to process the NAI decoration so
the username is passed unaltered to the modules and of course there're
a lot of problems arising for the presence of the curly braces and the
equal sing inside the User-Name. If I hack the safe character list of
Oracle (the database I chose to store user credentials and profiles)
adding both the curly braces and the equal sign everything work fine
but IMHO is not the solution. I tried also to use the attr_rewrite
module trying to remove the unwanted prefix from the User-Name
attrribute but this obviously breaks EAP (as Alan also has stated in a
mail discussion I red on the Internet).
Sorry if I've been too prolix, at the end my question is the one of
the subject..."Is FreeRADIUS 2.1.1 capable of handling NAI decorations
according to WiMaX Forum 1.2 St. 3?" And if not, can I have some
suggestion on which one can be the starting point for the development
of such functionality?
Thank you for the cooperation,
