(RADIATOR) Malformed request packet: Attribute 25 with length 1: ignored

[William Hernandez]

Hugh,

The class string is set in a PostAuthHook. We're now using Perl 5.6.1,
Freetds 0.60 and DBD:Sybase 0.94. I was able to reproduce the problem
outside of Radiator directly in Perl so I've concluded it's not a
Radiator problem.

When we were using Radiator 2.1.8.2, Perl 5.6.0, Freetds 0.52,
DBD:Sybase 0.91 we weren't getting this error. As a work-around I
modified the PostAuthHook to strip the null characters at the end of the
strings. Perhaps you do this already in the Radiator 3.1 code.

Thanks in advance,
William

Hello William -

I will need to see a more complete trace 5 debug (including hex dumps) 
of the incoming request, the corresponding access accept and the 
subsequent accounting requests. I will also need a copy of the 
configuration file (no secrets) and a copy of the relevant user record.

Just looking at what you have included, it looks like the Class 
attribute is being set incorrectly by your configuration.

regards

Hugh
