Returned information
The controller can return the following attributes in the RADIUS access request for all user
authentications (whether initial login or re-authentication due to roaming):
Called-station-ID (Standard RADIUS attribute)
HP-specific attribute: SSID
HP-specific attribute: GROUP
Note When re-authenticating users, the returned RADIUS attribute Service-Type is set to 8744
(decimal).
Called-Station-ID value
By default, this is the MAC address of the wireless port (radio) to which the user is
associated. This is the MAC address of the wvlan0 or wvlan1 interface in IEEE format as
displayed by Tools > System Tools > Interface info.
If required, the controller can return other values for this attribute by setting the Called-
Station-Id content on a per-VSC basis. The other available options are:
SSID: SSID of the access point with which the user is associated.
Group: Group name of the access point with which the user is associated.
macaddress: Returns the MAC address of the wireless port (radio) the user is associated
with. This is the MAC address of the wvlan0 or wvlan1 interface as shown by
Controller >> Tools > System Tools > Interface info.
If the user is connected via a wired connection, the value returned is the MAC address of
the controller wireless/LAN port. To use the MAC address of the Internet port, you must
edit the config file and change the setting of radius-called-station-id-port to WAN in
the <ACCESS-CONTROLLER> section.
macaddress:ssid: The MAC address of the wireless AP’s radio, followed by a colon,
followed by the SSID configured on this VSC.
HP-specific attribute: SSID
The SSID of the access point with which the user is associated (wireless only).
HP-specific attribute: GROUP
The group name of the access point with which the user is associated (wireless only).
