  • 1.  Importing Custom RADIUS Dictionary XML Error

    Posted Nov 03, 2023 04:20 PM

    I'm running 6.9.13, need to update the Tripplite RADIUS dictionary to include a new attribute called TrippLite-User-Role, but after exporting the existing and modifying the XML file, it's saying there are invalid XML tags. I've run into this issue when importing Endpoints I have to remove "<TagDictionaries></TagDictionaries>" from the file and it imports fine. Not sure what is wrong with this file, can someone advise?

     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?> 
    - <TipsContents xmlns="http://www.avendasys.com/tipsapiDefs/1.0">
      <TipsHeader exportTime="Fri Nov 03 15:59:40 EDT 2023" version="6.9" /> 
    - <Dictionaries>
    - <Vendor vendorEnabled="true" prefix="TrippLite" name="Radius:TrippLite" id="850">
    - <RadiusAttributes>
      <Attribute profile="in out" type="String" name="TrippLite-Authorization" id="1" /> 
      <Attribute profile="in out" type="String" name="TrippLite-Message" id="3" /> 
      <Attribute profile="in out" type="String" name="TrippLite-Outlet-Realms" id="2" /> 
      <Attribute profile="in out" type="String" name="TrippLite-User-Role" id="4" /> 
      </RadiusAttributes>
      </Vendor>
      </Dictionaries>
      </TipsContents>

    Thanks!

    As a temporary workaround, I was able to use the legacy TrippLite-Authorization enforcement with a value of "default=rw" to provide administrator access to my team, but if I can still get feedback on the XML error, that would be greatly appreciated for a more modern role assignment.

    I don't think there is a built-in Tripplite dictionary, so you probably added/imported that one in the past. I found an XML here, with the User-Role included, and it just imports fine in my lab system.

    From what you sent, I see '-' symbols between the XML tags, which I think should not be there. Those could be inserted somewhere when you add text to a 'smart' text editor or Office suite. Using a plain text editor should not have that issue.

    Took a while but I finally got back to this - i used Notepad instead of Notepad++ with the exact same code and it imported without issue. Thanks for your help!
