[RADIATOR] ClientHook sequence?

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Heikki, Hello Dave -

Correct.

Historically we had a PreClientHook and a PreHandlerHook in the Client clause(s), however when vendors began encrypting attributes, we needed to provide a hook that fired after the attributes were decoded. Hence we came up with the ClientHook that can be specified globally (for all clients) and/or per-client.

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?
