Thanks Alan,<br><br>I've read the manpage on rlm_pap.<br>Regarding the User-Password attribute I understand that it is still support but we moved<br>to using Cleartext-Password which is essentially the same.<br><br>Regarding the other attributes like Crypt-Password or MD5-Password, the manpage says that
<br>these contain the crypted/md5 hashed form of the password. Does that mean that if I use<br>those as the password attribute then in the database I'm supposed to use the MD5() function<br>to encrypt the password I save there?
<br><br>This also brings me to another question, if I can encrypt like that a password in the database<br>even for the Cleartext-Password (or the deprecated User-Password) attribute as the manpage<br>also mentions that rlm_pap, if put last in the authorize section will try to decrypt the password.
<br><br><br>Do I understand this correctly?<br><br><br>Regards,<br>Liran.<br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 7/29/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Alan DeKok</b> <<a href="mailto:aland@deployingradius.com">aland@deployingradius.com
