  Yes.  See the wiki for documentation on how the SQL module works.

  I have no idea what that means.

  Use Cleartext-Password in the database as the "known good" password.  Don't use User-Password.

  It's that simple.

  If you're not going to check passwords, you can get rid of all passwords in the DB.

  But... this likely won't work for MS-CHAPv2.

  What is a "CHAP rewrite" ?

  Please explain.

  No.

  By using Cleartext-Password, you're not *checking* User-Password in the packet against User-Password in the SQL database.

  Instead, you're telling the server to just remember Cleartext-Password for the user.

  Again, all of this is documented.  Read "man rlm_pap", and the wiki documentation for the SQL module.

  I have no idea what you mean by "internal RADIUS binding".  There is no magic here.  See the wiki for how the SQL module works.  This is all documented.
