How to pass custom attributes ?

[psanford]

The radius protocol (rfc2865) requires that all custom attributes have a vendor-id. I'm a little surprised that your second example didn't also generate an error.

If you want to use a Buffer you should use the uint8 attribute type value as the key not a string (see rfc2865 section 5 for details).

I don't think this is actually what you want to do though.

The attributes you are trying to set 'request-type', 'src-gw-name' and 'gw-ip' are not standard radius attributes, so I would guess that they are vendor specific attributes. If they are, the easiest thing would be to get a radius dictionary file and load that. Then you can use the attribute names.

@psanford Thank you for the response!
I found out that these attributes can be sent like Cisco-AVPair "key=value" . Is it possible now ?

I found solution. Need just create right dictionary file with BEGIN VENDOR/END VENDOR syntax.
Example here - https://gist.github.com/sizovilya/2e9c14eb76ce09da5aaf044aacafbae6

Next create packet like this:

        const packet = radius.encode({
          code: 'Access-Request',
          secret: 'very secret',
          attributes: [
            ['Vendor-Specific', 9, [['Cisco-AVPair', 'request-type=user']]],
            ['Vendor-Specific', 9, [['Cisco-AVPair', 'src-gw-ip=127.0.0.1']]],
            ['Vendor-Specific', 9, [['Cisco-AVPair', 'src-gw-name=user']]],
            ['Vendor-Specific', 9, [['Cisco-AVPair', 'h323-conf-id=i am any hash']]],
            ['Vendor-Specific', 9, [['Cisco-AVPair', 'h323-call-id=i am any hash 2']]],
            ['Vendor-Specific', 9, [['Cisco-AVPair', 'Calling-Station_id=123456789']]],
            ['Vendor-Specific', 9, [['Cisco-AVPair', 'Called-Station_id=987654321']]],
          ],
        })

After, all should works fine.

@psanford thank you.

Great! I'm glad you got it working.
