(RADIATOR) Using "Identifier" in a client clause

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Bob -

The parameters that are passed to the external program are the 
attributes that are contained in the request packet, so you will need 
to arrange for the Identifier to be added to the incoming request.

With recent versions of Radiator you can do this with an AddToRequest 
in the Client clause:

<Client 1.2.3.4>
	Secret XXXXXX
	Identifier modem
	AddToRequest Client-Identifier = %{Client:Identifier}
</Client>

regards

Hugh

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