(RADIATOR) NULL usernames in Radius Packets

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Mahesh -

Unless you are using a RewriteUsername, Radiator does not do anything 
with the username. I suspect that the NAS is sending an empty username, 
but without seeing a copy of your configuration file (no secrets) and a 
trace 4 debug from Radiator showing what is happening it is not 
possible to say any more.

regards

Hugh

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