Hi everybody, we use freeradius 2.1.1 and try to authenticate users via LDAP. But there seems to be an issue if we use special characters (such as #). #XxuwBw. is the correct user password If the users connects I can see the following messages: [...] [ldap] Added User-Password = #XxuwBw. in check items [ldap] No default NMAS login sequence [ldap] looking for check items in directory... rlm_ldap: userPassword -> Password # "XxuwBw." [ldap] looking for reply items in directory... rlm_ldap: Failed to create the pair: Failed to find IP address for XxuwBw. At this point something has removed the # and changed the password to XxuwBw. Subsequently the authentication fails: [...] [chap] Using clear text password "XxuwBw." for user ABCDE authentication. [chap] Password check failed Are there any restrictions regarding the characters allowed? Best regards Norbert
