[OpenSIPS-Users] Problem using radius_send_auth

[John Quick]

Hi Bogdan,

Yes, I assume it is an error from libradiusclient-ng because the path to the
main dictionary is defined in radiusclient.conf and then the additional
dictionaries are added as $INCLUDE statements at the end of the main
dictionary file. I have INCLUDES for dictionary.cisco, dictionary.sip,
dictionary.opensips and dictionary.rfc2865.

The file dictionary.rfc2865 was copied from the collection installed with
FreeRadius Server, but I had to comment out every line that defined an
attribute of type "octets" because when not commented out I could not even
start OpenSIPS. It gives the following error messages:
2014-03-27 09:46:24  INFO:auth_aaa:mod_init: initializing...
2014-03-27 09:46:24  rc_read_dictionary: invalid type on line 11 of
dictionary /usr/local/etc/radiusclient-ng/dictionary.rfc2865
2014-03-27 09:46:24  ERROR:aaa_radius:rad_init_prot: failed to read radius
dictionary
2014-03-27 09:46:24  ERROR:auth_aaa:mod_init: aaa init protocol failure
2014-03-27 09:46:24  ERROR:core:init_mod: failed to initialize module
auth_aaa
2014-03-27 09:46:24  ERROR:core:main: error while initializing modules

With the "octets" attributes all commented out, I am able to start OpenSIPS,
but every time radius_send_auth is called, the following warning is reported
in the opensips log file:
rc_avpair_gen: received unknown attribute 80 of length 18: <0x.....>

Where <0x....> is a long and apparently random Hex value.

John

Hi John,

The error on "octets" data type comes from the libradiusclient, not from
opensips itself, right ?
