[PATCH] Various problems with freeradius 2.1.x dictionary

[candlerb]

Using pyrad-2.0 (from easy_install), pointing it at freeradius 2.1.10's dictionary collection:

>>> from pyrad.dictionary import Dictionary
>>> Dictionary("/etc/freeradius/dictionary")
...
ParseError: dictionary.rfc5904(16): Parse error: Illegal type: short
>>> 

I hacked it about to add short and byte. This leaves two incompatible dictionary files: pyrad doesn't like <type> array (dictionary.dhcp) and there are various things in dictionary.wimax. such as VENDOR ... format=1,1,c, signed, flv and combo-ip (whatever that is)

I knocked together some quick patches (no test cases) and they're in the following branch: https://github.com/candlerb/pyrad/tree/candlerb%2Fshortbyte

It now at least reads the dictionary, even if it doesn't actually make use of attributes like 'array'

Hello there. I am on the same problem. Could anyone please help me?

@PigossiJr I'm working on a new version including the required fix. The latest master already contains short and signed. Can you describe your issue in detail please!

I'm not sure what you want me to do, having assigned it to me :-)

I don't use pyrad these days. However I have just done a quick re-test with pyrad master branch and dictionaries from freeradius-3.0.x master:

>>> from pyrad.dictionary import Dictionary
>>> Dictionary("/Users/brian/git/freeradius-server/share/dictionary")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "pyrad/dictionary.py", line 146, in __init__
    self.ReadDictionary(dict)
  File "pyrad/dictionary.py", line 338, in ReadDictionary
    self.__ParseAttribute(state, tokens)
  File "pyrad/dictionary.py", line 215, in __ParseAttribute
    line=state['line'])
pyrad.dictionary.ParseError: dictionary.rfc2865(34): Parse error: Illegal type: vsa

It appears to be objecting to this:

./dictionary.rfc2865:ATTRIBUTE	Vendor-Specific				26	vsa

Commenting that out, I get this error:

pyrad.dictionary.ParseError: dictionary.rfc4679(18): Parse error: Illegal type: tlv

Commenting that out:

pyrad.dictionary.ParseError: dictionary.rfc6572(20): Parse error: Illegal type: ipv4prefix

Then:

pyrad.dictionary.ParseError: dictionary.rfc6929(13): Parse error: Illegal type: extended

pyrad.dictionary.ParseError: dictionary.rfc6929(17): Parse error: Illegal type: long-extended

pyrad.dictionary.ParseError: dictionary.alcatel-lucent.aaa(42): Parse error: Illegal type: combo-ip

So there are still plenty of incompatibiliities with FreeRADIUS's dictionary files.

Hello buddy. I have attached my dictionary file that I guess is triggering that error.

Basically, my scenario is: I am trying to run the simplest code of pyrad: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyrad

And after creating a file which contains the same code from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyrad, I tried to run by the command line: python auth.py.

After that, I got that error...something related to my dictionary file. dictionary.txt

I really appreciate your effort in helping me ! Thanks a lot!

@candlerb I have solved this problem, My dictionary file is copied from Windows NPS, At first, some error happened, Then I type # before the line where errors find. If your error is 3gpp Change dictionary file like this: #$INCLUDE dictionary.3gpp So I think the reason is this packet have some problem in compatible with these attribute.
