You're trying to use radius for something it's not really intended for.
 You'd be better off querying that information from a real directory

Yes, and my accounts are under NIS.
But i want to authenticate my users using freeradius.
and it works...

so it isn't possible to get additional informations with freeradius by
using a shell script or with adding specific attribute ?



You can specify any attribute you like in the reply, and provided your client (the PHP app?) can access it, do whatever you want with it.

If you have an IANA enterprise number you can do this:

cat >/usr/share/freeradius/dictionary.MyOrg <<EOF

VENDOR  MyOrg   MyOrgNumber

ATTRIBUTE       MyOrgFullName   1       string  MyOrg
ATTRIBUTE       MyOrgHomeDir    2       string  MyOrg

EOF

...then in /etc/raddb/users:

joe     User-Password := "joespass"
        MyOrgFullName = "Joe Bloggs",
        MyOrgHomeDir = "/home/joe"

If you don't have an IANA number, you will need to search the dictionaries for existing attributes you can use - see for example "dictionary.ntua"

Does this answer your question?
