chap authentication failure

[dilip simha]

hi,

i have problems using chap with my radius server(FreeRADIUS Version
1.0.4). please help me out..

my users file on radius server:

simha   Auth-Type := CHAP , CHAP-Password == "hello"

on the packet from radclient:
User-Name = "simha" , CHAP-Password =
"40c567281480e959747ddd9ea7589015" , CHAP-Challenge = "challenge"

i use a request-id of 200 to generate the chap password as: 200hellochallenge
when i run md5sum on this ..i get: 40c567281480e959747ddd9ea7589015
which i use as CHAP-Password attribute in radclient.

in radiusd.conf:
chap {
                authtype = CHAP
     }

this is what i have.

now when i use radclient as : radclient -f packet_chap 10.91.0.167
auth testing123 -i 200
where packet_chap(a file) has the contents: User-Name = "simha" ,
CHAP-Password = "40c567281480e959747ddd9ea7589015" , CHAP-Challenge =
"challenge"
200 is the request id
10.91.0.167 is the radius server.


on the radius server ..i get :

rad_check_password:  Found Auth-Type CHAP
auth: type "CHAP"
  Processing the authenticate section of radiusd.conf
modcall: entering group Auth-Type for request 0
rlm_chap: login attempt by "simha" with CHAP password
  rlm_chap: Using clear text password  for user simha authentication.
  rlm_chap: Pasword check failed
  modcall[authenticate]: module "chap" returns reject for request 0
modcall: group Auth-Type returns reject for request 0
auth: Failed to validate the user.


so what is wrong with the process i have followed?

bye
