hi,

we use FR with the VMPS module - and i can see the gotchas
with trying to run it through some of the other modules.

I'm sure there are some, but I can't rationalise them out for myself; what are they? Or do you mean that some modules obviously won't work on VMPS requests?

Obviously for proxying you'd need to sanitise the packet first:

server vmps {
  authorize {
    update request {
      NAS-IP-Address = "%{VMPS-Client-IP-Address}"
      NAS-Port = "%{VMPS-Port}"
      Calling-Station-Id = "%{VMPS-MAC}"
    }

    # blah blah
    preprocess
    files

    # maybe proxy
    if (My-Attr == "remote") {
      update control {
        Proxy-To-Realm := "remote"
      }
    }
  }

  pre-proxy {
    detail
  }

  post-auth {
    sql_log
  }
}


what we have is the VMPS calling post-auth - which runs
a PERL module. the PERL module does our dirty work (check
validity, return the correct VLAN etc) - but theres
no reason why PERL or Python etc couldnt be used to query your MACAUTH server instead (?)

Sure; In fact, I've got this working:

vmps {
        # lookup the zone in out database
        update request {
                ICzone = "%{sql:select ... where mac='%{VMPS-MAC}'}"
        }

        if (ICzone == "blah") {
                # some site-specific stuff
        }

        update reply {
                VMPS-Packet-Type = VMPS-Join-Response
                VMPS-VLAN-Name = "%{ICzone}"
                VMPS-Cookie = "%{VMPS-Mac}"
        }

        # log to sql
        sql_log
}

I merely mention it because the sites-available does say the request can be proxied, and in fact it looks like it cannot. But it's not a big problem by any means.
