[OpenSIPS-Users] FreeRadius patch for OpenSer1.2.2

[Peter Nixon]

Yes. It was discussed at length by myself and others. The summary is that 
SER/OpenSER/OpenSIPS do not do things correctly and therefore will not be 
supported by default in FreeRADIUS.

The correct solution for any OpenSIPS specific attributes is to register an 
enterprise number, and then use Vendor Specific Attributes. This is probably 
an afternoons programming work.. At most a weekend.

The correct solution for general SIP attributes is either use existing RFC 
specified attributes in the way they are defined (Dont repurpose them for 
undefined things) or create a new RFC draft proposal that defines how you 
think things should work (without breaking any of the existing RADIUS RFC 
attributes)..

Please dont blame FreeRADIUS for "not supporting" something that is 
incompatible with other RADIUS implementations and standards.. The OpenSIPS 
implementation should be made compatible :-)

Regards

Peter
