[RADIATOR] Copying OSC-Client-Identifier to Client-Identifier

[Vangelis Kyriakakis]

Hi Tuure,

   Thanks for the answer.
   Actually I have a configuration where a RADIUS server receives some
requests directly from the clients and some other requests through a
proxy RADIUS server from the same clients.
   So, at the proxy server I have some Client clauses which categorize
the clients using different Client-Identifiers which are passed to the
final RADIUS server through the OSC-Client-Identifier attribute.
   The final RADIUS server has the same Client clauses, plus a clause
for the proxy RADIUS server in which I copy the OSC-Client-Identifier to
Client-Identifier (using a PreHandlerHook), in order to be able to pass
the requests through the same handlers which use the Client-Identifier
as a check item:


<Client ...>
# Proxy server as client
    PreHandlerHook file:"%D/ProxyClient.pl"
</Client>

ProxyClient.pl:
sub
{
        my $p = ${$_[0]};
        my $client = $p->get_attr('OSC-Client-Identifier');
        $p->{Client}->{Identifier}=$client;
}

<Client ...>
    Identifier Client1
</Client>

<Handler Client-Identifier=Client1>
    ....
</Handler>

So I want requests that follow the paths

Client1->Final RADIUS

OR

Client1->proxy RADIUS->Final RADIUS

to be handled by the above Handler.

Is this a safe solution?
