I've been working on it, but no solution yet. I'm strongly suspecting
something changed with eDir 8.8x. Did you set up the DAS with 8.7.3.x
or earlier, and then upgrade the server to 8.8x? It seems the only
variable I can think of in my situation, and one of my clients. I've
tried various versions of ConsoleOne.
If I have time I'm going to set up a test environment with 8.7.3.9,
create and edit a DAS, then update it to 8.8.5. If it breaks, then I'd
like to add another 8.7.3.9 server into to the tree and see if I can
edit the DAS object by working through that server somehow.

I've tried that, and it didn't help. I also looked for a while at the
Other attributes, in a ConsoleOne that did not have RADIUS snapins
installed. I could see some issues when adding new entries, and through a
more or less trial-and-error method, was able to delete some problem
entries. But I didn't figure out the syntax enough to know how to
manually edit entries to get a new entry set up. (I was able to find the
IP address entries, in hex, for the existing clients, which helped a bit).

BMAS versions) isn't supported, Novell won't investigate or fix it.
However, I'm still willing to see if I can come up with a workaround.
I have only two areas of investigation that make sense to me:
1. ConsoleOne versions. I've tried the version that came on the 3.8
CD's, and that didn't work. I've also tried the latest version, but
I'd appreciate it if someone else could do some experiments on either
version and any others that come to mind to double-check.
2. EDir versioning. It's not reasonable to backrev eDir 8.8.x, but
perhaps adding an 8.7.3.9 server into the mix and running ConsoleOne
from there would work. Not much of a workaround, but it may end up
being the only thing we've got, unless some developer can modify a
ConsoleOne plugin.

So... You created an older tree, used older software, and it still
didn't work?

Did you try to search in support.novell.com regarding this issue? So far
as i know, there are already 3 tids that talk about it.

I do not have this problem but as nmas radius is not longer supported
already for years, you only chance is that one of this tids provide you
with the solution.

I've noticed that too. It puts in entries that it then doesn't recognize.
I'm guessing there is a syntax error in how it starts or ends the entry,
though it's a complete mystery to me why it changed. I've seen one entry
cause another one to disappear, and the other entry to come back when I
manually deleted the problem entry in the Other menu.

changes to the NW 6.5sp8 tree, using the Other tab in ConsoleOne?
(Duplicate the entry completely manually, using a ConsoleOne that
doesn't have the Radius snapins).

up with some explanation, and perhaps a fix.
