Hi, Sounds like silly question to myself and having second thoughts about asking in the list.
I am very new to radius and quite confused about this. Done some research on this too but could not find the answer I am looking for. It is something like this: 1) In "radcheck" table I can insert the username and associated attributes (check and reply) for that user. 2) The same thing can be done by creating a group in "radgroupreply" for reply attributes and creating a group in "radgroupcheck" for check attributes then assigning these group to the user. my question is: 1) Can the group I created in "radgroupcheck" contain the reply attributes or vice versa? What I mean is will that take effect if reply and check attributes are mixed in single (either gropucheck or groupreply)? 2) so the basic question is how does radius check these tables? (a) Is it the rule (hard coded in freeradius) that it will look for reply attributes in "groupreply" table and check attributes in "groupcheck" tables correspondingly? (b) OR it will just check the available (non empty group) table and whatever attributes are defined, it simply evaluates? I am asking this question from point of view that in case I don't use group tables, I can still mix both reply and check attributes in a single table in radcheck without using group. Reason for asking this question: I want to use as many groups as possible for flexibility reason but for certain reason I am allowed to use only one group (just assumed). In this condition, first option will be that I can avoid the group and put as many attributes for certain user in radcheck. Second option is I can mix the attributes in either group I create (groupreply or greoupcheck) and assign this group to the user. But I am not sure about my second option. So basically this is a question about how freeradius works internally in evaluating these attributes. Need some clarification.
