Note FreeRADIUS request/response limitation
100%
Description
Add the following note to:
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/packages/freeradius.html#troubleshooting-radius-authentication
The radius client library used in pfSense software doesn't support RFC7499 (https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7499.html) hence RADIUS request/response payloads have an upper limit of 4096 bytes. Thus, there is a limit to the maximum number of attributes one can receive.

I added the note to the authentication troubleshooting page and not the FreeRADIUS page. The limit is in pfSense software, not in FreeRADIUS.

This:
response payloads to upper limit of 4096 bytes
should be this:
response payloads to the upper limit of 4096 bytes
Looks good otherwise. Thanks!
