  FreeRADIUS.

  It's an authentication server.

  LDAP is a database.

  But... this means storing passwords in a form which can be used by the
authentication server.  Or, it means using an authentication protocol
(e.g. MS-CHAP) which is compatible with the database.

  Don't blame us.  Blame Microsoft for making a database which contains
data it won't return in queries.
