Hi to all... Does anyone have any idea why placing the following two lines into users file works perfectly with both PAP and CHAP users btest User-Password == Master1 btest Crypt-Password == "$1$KyUhHIHD$R7mAm4rPX1q4WTEJY5rKQ1" whereas placing the same two records into radcheck table doesn't work for PAP it does however work for CHAP? username | att | op | val --------------+-------------------------+----+----------- btest | User-Password | == | Master1 btest | Crypt-Password | == | $1$KyUhHIHD$R7mAm4rPX1q4WTEJY5rKQ1 It seems that rlm_sql is hitting the unencrypted password only, whereas encryption-scheme in radiusd.conf is defined crypt... Am I missing something? Any help will be appreciated Alex Savguira radius -X (version 1.0.4 ) says rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 192.168.0.8:4544, id=47, length=45 User-Name = "btest" User-Password = "Master1" Processing the authorize section of radiusd.conf modcall: entering group authorize for request 0 modcall[authorize]: module "preprocess" returns ok for request 0 rlm_realm: No '@' in User-Name = "btest", looking up realm NULL rlm_realm: No such realm "NULL" modcall[authorize]: module "suffix" returns noop for request 0 users: Matched entry DEFAULT at line 171 users: Matched entry DEFAULT at line 173 modcall[authorize]: module "files" returns ok for request 0 radius_xlat: 'btest' rlm_sql (sql): sql_set_user escaped user --> 'btest' radius_xlat: 'SELECT id,UserName,Attribute,Value,op FROM radcheck WHERE Username = 'btest' ORDER BY id' rlm_sql (sql): Reserving sql socket id: 4 radius_xlat: 'SELECT radgroupcheck.id,radgroupcheck.GroupName,radgroupcheck.Attribute,radgroupcheck.Value,radgroupcheck.op FROM radgroupcheck,usergroup WHERE usergroup.Username = 'btest' AND usergroup.GroupName = radgroupcheck.GroupName ORDER BY radgroupcheck.id' radius_xlat: 'SELECT id,UserName,Attribute,Value,op FROM radreply WHERE Username = 'btest' ORDER BY id' radius_xlat: 'SELECT radgroupreply.id,radgroupreply.GroupName,radgroupreply.Attribute,radgroupreply.Value,radgroupreply.op FROM radgroupreply,usergroup WHERE usergroup.Username = 'btest' AND usergroup.GroupName = radgroupreply.GroupName ORDER BY radgroupreply.id' rlm_sql (sql): Released sql socket id: 4 modcall[authorize]: module "sql" returns ok for request 0 modcall[authorize]: module "domainmschap" returns noop for request 0 modcall: group authorize returns ok for request 0 rad_check_password: Found Auth-Type PAP auth: type "PAP" Processing the authenticate section of radiusd.conf modcall: entering group Auth-Type for request 0 rlm_pap: login attempt by "btest" with password Master1 rlm_pap: Using password "Master1" for user btest authentication. rlm_pap: Using CRYPT encryption. rlm_pap: Passwords don't match modcall[authenticate]: module "pap" returns reject for request 0 modcall: group Auth-Type returns reject for request 0 auth: Failed to validate the user.
