Try the following:

Add this to the top of the Authorize section:


        if ADSL-Agent-Circuit-Id {
                update request {
                        User-Name     := "%{ADSL-Agent-Circuit-Id}"
                        User-Password := "%{ADSL-Agent-Circuit-Id}"

        }


Thank you for taking the time to provide this detailed example. I should have included the previous thread where this was suggested and that it 'works', but also that it creates a security hole in that an end user could simply set their user name and password to be the same as a Circuit-Id, thereby taking advantage of a 'known passwords' if anyone knows what my circuit id's look like.

The task is to set things up so that _only_ in the event that the request contains an actual ADSL-Agent-Circuit-Id attribute, that I don't bother trying to do chap/pap, but instead I pull everything (Including Access-Accept) from the database indexed by ADSL-Agent-Circuit-Id. If there is no such attribute, then just proceed as normal. I can use sql to get a truth value wether the circuit-id is present in a non-default table, and I can use unlang to update the control with "Auth-Type := Accept". This works and results in 'access accept' to the client. But, it does not get me anyway to pull attributes specific to this id and return them to the client.

What I was talking about was perhaps using the presence of ADSL-Agent-Circuit-Id to decide whether to proxy the request to another virtual server. I could configure this virtual server to listen on loopback so the only way to consult it is thru the proxy, and I could configure the sql query used on THIS server to peform the authorization query. This seperation would give me the abillity to either engage chap/pap or not based on presence of the attribute, instead of simply overwriting the attribute values which doesn't address my security concerns. I'm still looking for a good method to accomplish this.
