freeradius-2.0.4 under rhel el 5. If no module sets Auth-Type I want it to set to: pam. Config: authorize { ... eap { ok = return } # # Pull crypt'd passwords from /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow, # using the system API's to get the password. If you want # to read /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow directly, see the # passwd module in radiusd.conf. # # unix # # Read the 'users' file files pap if (Control:Auth-type == "") { update control { Auth-Type := pam } } authenticate { # # PAP authentication, when a back-end database listed # in the 'authorize' section supplies a password. The # password can be clear-text, or encrypted. Auth-Type PAP { pap } Auth-Type CHAP { chap } ... Auth-Type pam { pam } radiusd -X show that even if no authetication method is found the condition is not empty. ++? if ('%{Control:Auth-type}' == "") ? Evaluating ('%{Control:Auth-type}' == "") -> FALSE ++? if ('%{Control:Auth-type}' == "") -> FALSE auth: No authenticate method (Auth-Type) configuration found for the request: Rejecting the user auth: Failed to validate the user. Do you have a suggestion?
