What do you mean by "role" ? Is this role for use by a real client, i.e. *not* radclient? If so, see the client documentation for what attribute to send. > The only information I found related to configuring roles indicated that > I had to enter a new attribute in the dictionary file, add the attribute > in the users file with the value I needed and add the dictionary file as > a parameter to the radtest (-d directory) to be able to see the > attribute in the returned message… Well this is not working as > described… Any idea or reference document I can use to have this > configured? The dictionary file has a "man" page. The comments at the top of the dictionary file describe the format, too. In general, you need to edit the dictionaries *only* if you're writing your own RADIUS client (i.e. NAS). Otherwise, don't touch them. Alan DeKok. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
