ERROR: No Auth-Type found: rejecting the user via Post-Auth-Type = Reject

[Mustafa Mujahid/SYS]

Hello,

I was working with free radius 3.0.12 and received the below errors in 
debug output.


lm_sql (sql): Released connection (0)
(0)     [sql] = ok

(0)     [expiration] = noop
(0)     [logintime] = noop
(0) pap: WARNING: No "known good" password found for the user. Not 
setting Auth-Type
(0) pap: WARNING: Authentication will fail unless a "known good" 
password is available
(0)     [pap] = noop
(0)   } # authorize = ok
(0) ERROR: No Auth-Type found: rejecting the user via Post-Auth-Type = 
Reject
(0) Failed to authenticate the user
(0) Using Post-Auth-Type Reject


I was reading this :

Qoute <

When a RADIUS packet contains a clear-text password in the form of a 
User-Password attribute, the/rlm_pap/module may be used for 
authentication. The module requires a "known good" password, which it 
uses to validate the password given in the RADIUS packet. That "known 
good" password must be supplied by another module 
(e.g./rlm_files/,/rlm_ldap/, etc.), and is usually taken from a database.

Unqoute >

But I'm having a bit of trouble understanding. In my DB the Attribute is 
Cleartext-Password , which corresponds to a plain text password. So then 
why is this error generated. And how to mitigate it. What am I missing.

The authorize section of my /etc/raddb/sites-enabled/default  is read as:

authorize {

     preprocess

     digest

     suffix

     sql

     expiration
     logintime

     pap

}

and authenticate as :

authenticate {
}
     Auth-Type PAP {

     pap
     }

     digest

}



Please let me know if any further information is required. Any help is 
greatly appreciated.
