Strange problem, HiperARC FreeRADIUS MacRADIUS

2002-11-14 Thread Adam Moffett 
Hi, I've just started using FreeRADIUS and I've encountered something 
that's got me a little baffled.

We've been using MacRADIUS for years, but we needed something that 
could support realms in order to add certain new services.

I set up a RADIUS proxy using a minimal installation of Mandrake 
Linux 9.0 and compiled FreeRADIUS 0.7.1 from the source.  I intended 
for the proxy to send all requests containing a certain realm over to 
another ISP's radius servers, and send anything else to the existing 
MacRADIUS system.

So I set up the special realm, and that seems to work fine.  And I 
set up a NULL and DEFAULT realm that direct everything else to 
MacRADIUS.

At first everything seemed to be working, but then we discovered this 
very strange thing.  Authentication requests from our 3Com Total 
Control unit (HiperARC V4.2.32) in which the username started with a 
Capitol S would get the S stripped out when they were sent to 
MacRADIUS.

We can observe that the username has the S when it goes to 
FreeRADIUS, and that it doesn't have the S when it goes to 
MacRADIUS...but beyond that we are confused.

I just need someone to point me in the right direction.

Thanks in Advance,
Adam Moffett

Hints looks for capital S or P by default to denote a specific type of
user profile (Slip, PPP)... you'll have to take them out of the file.
