I have check the switch manual and it says it's possible to assign VLANs using the radius accept-accept message. Apparently, it's the first ting it should do, then it checks it's own auth policy (if present) or it puts the user in the default untagged VLAN setup on that port. I can quote parts of the manual if you need. I have configured the ldap VLANiD attribute as a replyItem and I see it the ldap section in debug mode. However, it is not present in the accept-accept message at the end of the debug so the switch stays in "default" VLAN. I am now trying to figure how to have the replyItem in my accept-accept message.
