Re: [Radiusplugin-users] bug in Radiusplugin.so 2.0c beta

[Ralf Lübben]

Hi,

I could not trigger the error. 

But if I use a user name with the character \, the radiusserver (Freeradius) 
escapes the character.
The log files show then the user name with \\ . The user name in the 
radiusserver config need to be updated accordingly.

This example works for me:
OpenVPN-Username: testdomain\testuser
Freeradius-Username: testdomain\\testuser

Cheers
Ralf
