Good morning,
I have been reading the documentation and information contained in the Hints, Huntgroups and Users files. I have also read the file on how the USERS file is processed. It states, "After the items of a request have been mangled by the "hints" and "huntgroups" files, the users file is processed."
I've looked at the "Hints" file and the information there is very ambiguous. It states "A special non-protocol name value pair called "Hint" can be set to match on in the "users" file." Does this mean that I can set the "Hint = " value to anything?, say like the first letters of a user-name? Then, Do I have to put the "Hints = " value in the "Huntgroups" file under the Huntgroup name?
Example: Huntgroup1 User-name = XYZ,
Hint = value,
Group = Huntgroup1
I think this now links the "Hints" file and the "Huntgroups" file together, then, do I need to enter the "Hints" and "Huntgroups" values in the "USERS" file to link it with the "Hint" and "Huntgroups" file?
Example user1 Password == "xxyyzz",
Hint = value,
Group = Huntgroup 1
Filter-Id = value
Etc.....
If the above is correct, then somewhere it should be stated that these files are dependent on each other and the parameters are passed between them. Stating "After the items of a request have been mangled by the "hints" and "huntgroups" files, the users file is processed." Doesn't tell how these 3 files are related and what needs to be done in each file in order to get them working.
The "processing_users_file" in freeradius 0.8 is unclear to me.
Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks
Ken
