I only got around to trying this trick today, but the results are positive. If you return a User-Name attribute in the RADIUS reply, then the Max will use it in the display window and in accounting requests instead of the original username. I use this feature with a code modification to radiusd. Our user authentication code attempts to remove trailing @domain and leading WINDOWS_WORDGROUP\ substrings from the username that ignorant users like to put in, as well as cure the ALL CAPS USERNAME symdrome. A small piece of code in radiusd.c compares the original username with the adjusted username, and inserts a User-Name attribute if they differ. Thanks for the suggestion! -Phil > ---- > Jim Howard jhoward@lyceum.com > Sr Network Engineer 404.248.1733 > Lyceum Internet <A HREF="http://www.lyceum.com/">http://www.lyceum.com/</A> > ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request@bungi.com To get FAQ'd: <<A HREF="http://www.shore.net/~dreaming/ascend-faq">http://www.shore.net/~dreaming/ascend-faq</A>> or <<A HREF="ftp://ftp.shore.net/members/dreaming/ascend-faq.txt">ftp://ftp.shore.net/members/dreaming/ascend-faq.txt</A>> </PRE> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <STRONG>Follow-Ups</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A HREF="msg01339.html">Re: (ASCEND) RADIUS unmangling names</A></STRONG></LI> <UL> <LI><EM>From</EM>: Dave Mitton <dmitton@baynetworks.com></LI> </UL> </UL> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <HR> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg01337.html">(ASCEND) more p130 tftp bugs</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg01335.html">(ASCEND) pipe problem in nynex land</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg01335.html">(ASCEND) pipe problem in nynex land</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg01339.html">Re: (ASCEND) RADIUS unmangling names</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="maillist.html#01336"><STRONG>Main</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thrd51.html#01336"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> </BODY> </HTML>
