(RADIATOR) Acct-Session-Id Error

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Doug -

Have you restarted Radiator to re-read the dictionary? Are you sure you 
have changed the correct dictionary?

I am actually surprised that Radiator is trying to use Acct-Session-Id 
as an integer in any case - it should be a string.

And changing the dictionary definition results in a "cast" as you call 
it. A definition of "binary" should cause the attribute value to be 
treated as a string of binary characters, with no interpretation at all.

If you still have a problem, please send me a trace 5 debug from 
Radiator showing the packet dump, together with the startup messages 
from Radiator, and including a copy of the configuration file (no 
secrets).


BTW - what does your vendor say about it?

regards

Hugh

NB: I am travelling this week, so there may be delays in our
