Radius--changing MAC delimiter
Posted: 03 Mar 2021 17:29
I have a mixed environment, and am adding some Omniswitch platforms to the network. Like all other switches in the network, these are being configured for 802.1x and MAC Authentication. However, when the Omniswitch presents the station MAC address, there is no delimiter, and cannot authenticate to the existing RADIUS server (FreeRadius 3.x).
As I see it, my options are:
--I can use unlang to alter the presentation, but not without affecting other authentication mechanisms. This is not practical.
--I can create duplicate accounts for all MAC-Auth stations without the delimiter. This is not practical either.
The best option is to change the delimiter between the HEX values in a MAC address to a ":" or a "|". However, I have not found a way to do this. Is this possible?
