Re: how to save binary values in MySQL radreply table

[Dave Mason]

True - I need to figure out how to reverse the process.  That is, I need 
to send something like "0xed5e" as my attribute value.  For now I'll 
just use VSA as the attribute because it's not encrypted.  If I set the 
value in radreply to "ed5e", the server returns "65643565" to the 
client, as you would expect.  I need to get binary values into the table 
somehow.  Maybe the API is smart enough to handle binary data even if 
the mysql command line client isn't?  I tried prefixing each character 
with "\0x" but that didnt work.

My apologies if this has been answered before but I didn't see 
anything.  This is basically a MySQL question.  I need to save MS-MPPE 
attributes in the radreply table.  Those have a binary value.
   

 Which is why they're of type "octets" in the dictionary.  When the
server prints them out, it prints them as a series of hex characters,
which is in turn a normal ASCII string.
