Hello,

Sorry for my poor English, maybe I was not so clear
about this before.

My intention is to build something like two factor
authentication but in a very humble way.

Usually the authentication factor is only using
password. But I want some additional factor which is
embeded in the username.

The idea is very simple using method similar to Proxy
perfix or suffix: user must add certain string before
or after their username.

Example: judhi.12345 
where username = judhi, suffix=12345
We don't care about the password here since we don't
want to modify it.

In a normal RADIUS proxying, we can specify FreeRADIUS
to look for proxy 12345 and strip the proxy name from
username. And the proxy 12345 MUST be defined in
configuration file BEFORE FreeRADIUS start.

But here, I want the FreeRADIUS to:
a. open a certain text file contain a userlist, look
if there is a line with entry: "judhi.12345"
b. if not found, just drop/reject the authentication
request.
c. if successful, strip the .12345 , then:
d. forward the request to other AAA server (or check
with local /etc/passwd) for Username: judhi and his
original (unmodified) password.

The userlist file I mentioned in Step-a above must be
opened dynamically not just when we start FreeRADIUS
like the way it open the config files. So we can
modify the user entries as-and-when it is necessary
without have to restart the FreeRADIUS server.

Thanks & Regards,
Judhi
