(RADIATOR) Loading check and reply items from a complex SQL database.

[Nacho Paredes]

Hi all,

I have a SQL RADIUS Users Database which stores users attributes (check and
reply items) in a way that allows an easy definition of profiles and
services (sets of attributes and its values) but forces to complex SQL
queries for retrieving user attributes.
I also have a set of perl functions for managing the database and retrieving
its data hiding the implementation details.

I would like to use this database with Radiator, but I have found that the
mechanism that <AuthBy SQL> provides for querying check and reply items
wouldn't work.

I've seen in the Authentication modules code that a User object is created:
$user=new Radius::User $name

And then its lists of attributes accesed:

$attr_list=$user->get_check();
$attr_list->add_attr(...)

The question is: would be possible to write a hook for loading check and
reply items (using my perl functions) into  the User structure while
processing the authentication request?

Thanks on advance.

Regards.
