(RADIATOR) Bad authenticator in request from DEFAULT ?

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Robert, Salut Pascal -

As Robert says, there are two sets of attributes for Ascend, the "old" ones 
that were "stolen" from the RFC standard set, and the "new" ones that 
implement the Ascend Vendor Specific Attributes (vendor 529).

The standard Radiator dictionary ("dictionary") includes the "old" Ascend 
attributes, and there is an add-on called "dictionary.ascend2" which defines 
the "new" VSA's.

The dictionary files are just simple text files, and in general you should 
start with the "dictionary" file and delete from it what you don't need and 
add to it what you do need.

BTW - vendor 429 is USR.
