Betr.: Re: Question about differences between possibilities of authentication

[Bas Penris]

Hi Alan,
 
The reason I didn't post the debugs and config files was because I thought there might be an easy explanation which one of you would be able to spoon up without any trouble. Especially because nothing is broken and everything works as it's supposed to.
 
I'll get back with a debug log and the config after the weekend.
 
Regards,
 
Bas

  That's the easy part.

  Don't test from a mobile device until you've done complete EAP testing
yourself.  You'll get a LOT more useful information.

  See my web page: http://deployingradius.com

  It's usually best to use the full email address.  It simplifies a lot
of issues.

  So.. you're posting tiny pieces of the config.  But not the debug
output as suggested in the FAQ, README, "man" page, web pages, and daily
on this list?

  Because it's doing different searches.  See the debug output for more
information.  It's all in there.  Really.  That's why we tell people to
read it, and to post it here.
