Was there an RFC that went on to define the proper usage of the Class
attribute, or is it's usage still ambiguous ?
Ambiguous how? The RFC seems pretty specific to me; the field is NOT to
be interpreted by the NAS, is generated in the Access-Accept and sent in
Accounting-Request - i.e. "it's local to the radius server, do what you
like with it".
Yes the RFC describes how parties should process the attribute, but it
doesn't explicitly define an intended use.
I know some people use it to link accounting data to an authentication
attempt....
That's one (common) use. There are others e.g. I've used it to signal to
the accounting server the type of NAS so that the exact method for
kicking a session is known purely from the SQL accounting info.
Heh, thats a neat idea :)
Thanks,
