Hi Heikki,

I tried that but apparently Radiator is not happy.

'VsaTranslateOut' in /etc/radiator/lin/radiator line 14180

The offending bit:

<Handler OSC-Environment-Identifier=HOST_1>
    Identifier IDENT_PROXY
    <AuthBy RADSEC>
         Secret radsec
         NoreplyTimeout 5
         UseTLS
         TLS_Protocols TLSv1.2
         ProxyAlgorithm HashBalance

         NoKeepaliveTimeoutForChildInstances
         ConnectOnDemand

         [TLS options redacted]

         <Host proxy.host>
             Port 2083
             UseTLS
             TLS_Protocols TLSv1.2
             FailureBackoffTime 5
             VsaTranslationHook file:"%D/hook/loop_check_vt.pl"
         </Host>
         VsaVendor Generic
         VsaTranslateOut
    </AuthBy>
</Handler>

So, I'm guessing that the AuthBy RADSEC doesn't cover all of that in the Host 
clause. We're running 4.28 as from your repo. I've tried something else and am 
waiting to see what happens. If the Host clause in AuthByRADSEC doesn't support 
the VsaTranslationHook, could I request it be added as a feature for the next 
version? :-)

With kind regards

Subject: Re: [RADIATOR] Which hook and how to get destination host


On 26.6.2024 14.09, Stefan Paetow via radiator wrote:
I am trying to fix a looping problem between two hosts that does not rely on 
attributes being added to packets.

I know I can retrieve the client address from the request as 
Radius::Util::inet_ntop($request->{RecvFromAddress}), but I'd like to do the 
same for the destination host that's been selected to proxy the request to. 
Which handler/hook would be the best to do this in? PreHandlerHook in the 
destination AuthBy? And… how do I get the IP address of the destination host 
(or the selected host if there are multiple)?


That's an interesting question. Many of the hooks run well before the next hop 
details (IP + port) are resolved, but I think I found a solution.


Or is this not possible?


It's possible. There's one hook that runs just before the request is forwarded. 
I came up with the following idea. Note that you'd need to have a <Host ...> 
clause because that's where the hook goes into. It should also work with the 
other proxy AuthBys, such as AuthBy HASHBALANCE.

Here's a config snippet and the hook:

<AuthBy RADIUS>
    VsaVendor Generic
    VsaTranslateOut
    AuthPort 1812
    AcctPort 1813

    <Host 127.0.0.1>
        Secret mysecret
        # Other host specific parameters

        # $p is the request, $is_out is set for outgoing messages
        # $fp is the request that's about to be forwarded
        VsaTranslationHook sub { my ($p, $is_out, $fp) = @_; \
          my $host = $fp->{ThisHost}; \
          my $addr = @{$host->{Address}}[$host->{roundRobinCounter} % 
@{$host->{Address}}]; \

          my $port = $fp->code eq 'Accounting-Request' \
              ? $host->{AcctPort} : $host->{AuthPort}; \
          my $ip = Radius::Util::inet_ntop($addr); \
          main::log($main::LOG_INFO, "Forwarding to IP $ip port $port\n"); }
    </Host>
</AuthBy>

The Vendor Specific Attribute (VSA) translation parameters are documented here, 
except of the hook that needs to be documented:
https://files.radiatorsoftware.com/radiator/ref/Clientxxxxxx.html#VsaTranslateIn_Client

The round robin counter is explained below. Briefly, it's for the cases where 
Host is defined with a name that resolves to multiple IP addresses:

Thanks,
Heikki
