Re: PAM radius module and "Prompt" attribute.

All is working well, but I found a problem when the PAM module receives an Access-Challenge.

Here is the problem: even if the RADIUS server sends a Prompt="No Echo" attribute, my PAM conversation function receives a PAM_PROMPT_ECHO_ON msg_style instead of a PAM_PROMPT_ECHO_OFF.

See: http://bugs.freeradius.org/show_bug.cgi?id=609

As far as I know the Prompt attribute is not mandatory for RFC 2865 compliance, in fact this attribute is specified into RFC 2869 - Radius Extensions.

The question is: will the Prompt attribute be supported in a future release of the PAM service module?

Possibly, yes. Alan DeKok.
