    Not straight up a Captive Portal question. but perhaps people with knowledge of the captive portal config storage can help me.

    I'm using radius for openvpn auth. And I was looking into why it
    wasn't sending the Radius server the Calling-Station-Id.  In looking
    at code I see that there is an option in Captive Portal
    $config['captiveportal']['radiusvendor'] that when set to 'cisco'
    sends the $clientip instead of the client's mac address.  And this
    function appears is called for all radius auth even when not using
    captive portal.

    In order to appease the UI input validation I have to set up a captive
    portal on a real interface and configure it for radius auth.  I don't
    want to do this.

    Can I inject just the $config['captiveportal']['radiusvendor'] into
    the  config.xml and will it be stable as long as I don't touch the
    captive portal settings?

    Also can I request a change that the radius vendor be configured on
    the radius server ui and not the captive portal ui?

    Thanks

      Those settings only affect the RADIUS server configured for captive portal auth. We don't have a setting in the user manager that does the same function (yet).

      For 2.2, those will likely be merged into the main RADIUS config in the user manager, but for now the settings on CP are just for CP.
