(RADIATOR) multiple dictionary files not working with server and radpwtest, and some VSAs failing

[Tariq Rashid]

hi - 2 issues here:

i am working with testing a new NAS hardware from Redback. they have
supplied their own dictionary file with their VSAs defines.. no issue there.


however,

1. when i start the radiator 3.8 server with command line pointers to
dictionaries (comma separated) the second seems to be ignored. it works when
i append the second VSA dictionary to the first. how do i know it doesn't
work, well theoutgoing reply packet does not contain the required VSA but
does when using the appended dictionary.

  the same appears to be true for the radpwtest client. if i use a comma
separated list (as per help text) the second is ignored, but wheni use the
appended dictionary, the trace 5 dumps do show tghe correct attributes. 

2. now using the working appended dictionary, i also find that the VSA is
not obtained from a backend LDAP server, when all others are. for example,
Cisco-AVPairs are obtained and sent out fine, but the new VSA 
	RB-Context-Name = "lns"
is not. they are obtained in the main radius.cfg file using the 
	AuthAttrDef dialAttr,GENERIC,request
in the <AuthBy LDAP2> sections ... where dialAttr is the multivalued ldap
field. 
to get around this i am hardcoding the add_attr in a hook file.

any thoughts much appreciated.
