Issue an Access Challenge to retry password

25 Oct 2005

      I thought something like the following should work:

At the end of the user file:

DEFAULT	Auth-Type := Challenge, State != "first retry"
		Reply-Message = "Please retry your Password:",
		State = "first retry"

DEFAULT	Auth-Type := Reject
		Reply-Message = "Sorry, no access."

Unfortunately it did not :-(

Subject: Issue an Access Challenge to retry password
Gurus,
I want to give the user a second chance to type his password 
correctly by using a radius challenge.
I'm not sure how to do this and did not find anything about 
this in the documentation nor in my stored email of this list.
What should happen:
The user tries to authenticate using his User-Name and Password.
The user makes a typo in the password.
The RADIUS Server will send an RADIUS Challenge, having a 
Reply-Message 'Good Morning. Please retry your Password!'
The user retries... This time using the right password
The User will be granted access.
How would I configure this in the user file?
Any help or advice to a related part of the documentation 
will be appreciated.
Thank you.
Stefan
