Hello All,
I have what I hope is a simple question. Is there a way to
pass variables around in the config file?
I've RTFM'd and found variables for use in filenames, date
formatting, etc, but, what I'm looking to do is twofold:
a) Have two configs: one that is used globally across all
authentication servers and the other one which holds specific
information about that local server.
b) Pass variables from within an <Handler ...> statement to SQL
select statmenets within the <AuthBy ...> statements.
Part A
------
Currently, I'm doing this using the include syntax, but, I
either have to do multiple includes, or I have to include large chunks
of the config file in the local config file.
Things that I'm changing on a host-per-host config file level:
- AuthPort
- AcctPort
- BindAddress
- DBSource
- <Monitor> - 'Clients' line
Rather than have to specify these as specific per host, I would
like to be able to specify these values as variables in the radius.cfg
and just include their actual values in a local file, say,
radius-local.cfg.
Part B
------
I currently have about 20 or 30 <AuthBy ...> clauses in each
config file, but, in each of these, only one thing changes. It would be
much easier if I could use a variable in the AuthSelect lines. The
variable could then be set from within the <Handler ...> clause.
IE:
<Handler Realm=/^(abc.com|def.com|hij.com)$/, CHAP-Password=/.+/,
Client-Identifier=Blah >
%variable1 = 'chapblah';
</Handler>
<AuthBy thishandler>
AuthSelect select ENCRYPTPEDPASSOWRD, REALM from SUBSCRIBERS
where (USERNAME = '%U' and REALM = '%R' and ALLOW = '%variable1'
</AuthBy>
Note: Writing this email, I just realized that I might be able to do
this using the '%{Client:Identifier}' or '{Client:Name}' values in the
check.
Thoughts?
