Re: Question about authenticating CHAP clients usinganexternalprogram- A different case

Thanks for your reply. You are right and I do know that this is not the right way to get things done, but what we have got here is a sophisticated and feature-balloted AAA system which is totally based on external programs.

So what would be the problem in sorting out your "features" in authorization script and leaving authentication to the server?

As a mid-term solution we should try to respond to our numerous clients who are using CHAP, MS-CHAP and MS-CHAPv2 connections. Please please, let me know if there exists any solution to implement these features in an external authentication program.

Freeradius is open source. Look up the code in rlm_chap and rlm_mschap. Ivan Kalik Kalik Informatika ISP
