(RADIATOR) Max Class Length?

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Cassidy -

The RADIUS RFC ("doc/rfc2865.txt") specifies a maximum length for any  
attribute to be 255. This length includes the attribute identifier  
octet and the length octet itself, so the payload is limited to 253  
octets. Also note that the overall length of the RADIUS request is  
limited by the maximum size of a UDP packet in your environment.

regards

Hugh

NB:

Have you read the reference manual ("doc/ref.html")?
Have you searched the mailing list archive (www.open.com.au/archives/ 
radiator)?
Have you had a quick look on Google (www.google.com)?
Have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
