<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hello, <br>
<br>
I set up a new solution implementing eap-PEAP user authentication and VLAN
assignment with · : <br>
- FREE-RADIUS 1.1.2 on suse 9<br>
- ENTERASYS Switch <br>
- Edirectory Novell 6.5 <br>
<br>
This solution is operational. <br>
<br>
On the other hand, if the user uses a password using characters with accents,
this solution does not work. <br>
<br>
I identified the problem in the LDAP request of the FREE-RADIUS
1.1.2 to the edirectory of novell 6.5. <br>
<br>
The problem seems to come from FreeRadius server because : </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The radius server is launched
by the command "radiusd -X -A", what allows us to get back
password.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">What appears: </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">when the password does not contain special
characters (é.) the password sent by the ldap module of the server freeradius
is correct.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">When the password contains special characters(é),
the password sent by the ldap module of freeradius is erroneous (see track
accompanying document) for the first character. The conversion is the following
one:</font>

with freeradius 1.0.5.</font>
