Cistron Radius 1.6.6
 

Question for you guys,
I have installed Cistron Radius 1.6.6 (on Debian if it matters) and am having a problem with a specific attribute Cisco-AVPair and was wondering if anyone could help.

The config looks like this:

admin Auth-Type = Local, Password = "drowssap"
Service-Type = Administrative-User,
Login-Service = Telnet,
Login-TCP-Port = 23,
Cisco-AVPair = "shell:priv-lvl=15"

The error I get is this: (from /var/log/radius.log

Info: Starting - reading configuration files ...
Error: Unknown attribute "Cisco-AVPair"
Error: /etc/raddb/users[11]: Parse error (reply) for entry admin

dictionary.cisco has the entry:
ATTRIBUTE Cisco-AVPair 1 string Cisco

So I am thinking this should work just fine but for some god aweful reason I cant get it to work.

Does anyone have any suggestions? or maybe a push in the right direction or a Doc or 2 :) I have seen some FAQ's and such but not a whole lot on the Cisco-AVPair attribute.

I have even searched the forum for such a thread all I could see was there looked like a few Cistron users so I thought I could get some advice.

Thanks,
rewt

mchmelik,

Look in the /etc/raddb Dir or where your radius files are located. you should see a number of dictionary files such as dictionary and dictionary.cisco
Open up the dictionary file and be sure this line is listed or if so uncommented.

$INCLUDE dictionary.cisco

dont forget to restart the radius server.

Thats all it is to it.

Hope this solves your problem.

BINGO !
 

I spend all night with this problem.

Finally I swop Cistron Radius to freeradius-0.8.1.tar.gz and
it was working correctly. Now I'm trying Cistron Radius again
using Rewt's advice and also Cistron Radius is working !
I compared dictionary files of both and in Cistrons Radius
line "$INCLUDE dictionary.cisco" was missing :-(

Many thx to Rewt.

Martin.
