Our FR is doing EAP most of the time, and it's working fine. However, we would want our NAS to see the inner true User-Name, not the outer one. I know this can be set in the inner-tunnel post-auth section uncommenting the update outer.reply lines, but that exposes our users' inner User-Name to proxied-to-us authentications.

So my question is: Which attributes should I check to tell apart local and external auths?

We do exactly this and use Client-Shortname to control whether the inner username is revealed: we set Client-Shortname to be in the format '<server>@<domain>' - so we might have '[email protected]' for server 'radius0.botolphs.cam.ac.uk', or '[email protected]' for 'roaming0.ja.net'. This attribute is under our control with how we configure things in clients.conf, so we can ensure it isn't something bogus.

We can then parse this with a regexp such as:

  if ("%{Client-Shortname}" =~ /\.cam\.ac\.uk$/) {
    # client is inside Cambridge - reveal the ID
    update reply {
      User-Name := "..."
    }
  } else {
    # client is not - set it back to the requested one (see note below)
    update reply {
      User-Name := "%{request:User-Name}"
    }
  }

We do various other tricks with this - e.g. set Operator-Name depending on the college or department which forwards requests to us (since we act as a proxy to various groups inside the University, before passing things up to the UK national eduroam proxy service).


Incidentally, on this matter, when I try and enable the relevant bit in inner-tunnel, post-auth - uncommenting:

        #update outer.reply {
        #       User-Name = "%{request:User-Name}"
        #}

... I get a weird error when handling logins about the User-Name not matching (I haven't tried recently and haven't got something to test on). Instead, I use 'use_tunneled_reply = yes' in eap.conf and then use the above test in the default, post-auth section to reset it to something anonymous, if the client is outside Cambridge.

I've never got to the bottom of why this is - I did search the archives and found other people with the same problem but never resolved it.
