Update on MS-CHAP Authentication / Bug 17

[Garber, Neal]

Here's some feedback I received (off-list) regarding the patch for bug 17..

I received an E-mail from someone experiencing the userid case sensitivity issue with EAP/MS-CHAPv2 in FR.  He applied the patch attached to bug 17 and confirmed that it fixed the problem for him.

I too have the patch applied (for about 6 weeks now) to two of our FR servers and haven't seen any issues.

Thank you for sharing your experience Marco.  At some point, I'd like to post your information to the FreeRADIUS list as Alan DeKok wanted to see positive feedback from testers before he accepted my patch.  Is that Ok?

Thanks again for your time and I'm pleased that the patch helped resolve your problem.

Hi Neal,
I applied your patch to 2.1.7. Before writing you I was testing v1.1.8; 
then I tried 2.1.7 before applying the patch (with the same issue) and 
finally with your patch.

The issue is solved. Now I can logon the workstation with both upper and 
lower cases, and automatic ms-chap authentication always works.

I have not still wrote you an email because I did like to include more 
details, extract of log files and configurations, but I was too busy 
with other activities to do. I'll send you some details as soon as 
possible.

Thank you
Marco
