(RADIATOR) How to send specifier values to hooks??

[Michael Harsh]

Thanks for the reply Hugh. 

What if the client is a Radius proxy and not a NAS? The Radius proxy IP does
not show up in the packet as an attribute, and that is what I would like to
get. 

So, I had thought I could use the special character, %c, to send the client
IP to a hook from the config file. As I've continued reading it looks like I
can call Radius::Util::format_special and use %c from anywhere in my own
code to get the IP of a Radius client if it is not a NAS. Am I going in the
right direction here?

Thanks again,
Mike Harsh

Hello Michael -

The hook has access to the incoming request and you can access any 
attributes in the request.

The client IP address can be accessed with

	my $clientip = $p->get_attr('NAS-IP-Address');

See the example hooks in "goodies/hooks.txt".

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?
