(RADIATOR) Problem with Timestamp

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Sergio -

The Timestamp attribute gets added to the incoming request *after* the 
PreProcessingHook is run (as you have discovered).

You should use a PreAuthHook instead.

Have a look at "Radius/Handler.pm -> sub handle_request".

regards

Hugh

NB: have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
