Good evening from Germany, I installed (for the very first time) freeradius on an Ubuntu 18.04 box. The version is 3.0.16. I would like to use freeradius to authenticate my users against Samba passwords using ntlm_auth. I followed EXACTLY the instructions on the website deployingradius.com, beginning from the initial setup to the last step, "Configuring FreeRADIUS to use ntlm_auth for MS-CHAP". Only this last step fails, and I have no idea why. This is an excerpt of the debug output: *** (2) Found Auth-Type = mschap (2) # Executing group from file /etc/freeradius/3.0/sites-enabled/default (2) authenticate { (2) mschap: Client is using MS-CHAPv1 with NT-Password (2) mschap: Executing: /usr/bin/ntlm_auth --request-nt-key --username=%{%{Stripped-User-Name}:-%{%{User-Name}:-None}} --domain=%{%{mschap:NT-Domain}:-OEGNET} --challenge=%{%{mschap:Challenge}:-00} --nt-response=%{%{mschap:NT-Response}:-00}: (2) mschap: EXPAND --username=%{%{Stripped-User-Name}:-%{%{User-Name}:-None}} (2) mschap: --> --username=om (2) mschap: ERROR: No NT-Domain was found in the User-Name (2) mschap: EXPAND --domain=%{%{mschap:NT-Domain}:-OEGNET} (2) mschap: --> --domain=OEGNET (2) mschap: mschap1: 12 (2) mschap: EXPAND --challenge=%{%{mschap:Challenge}:-00} (2) mschap: --> --challenge=12473d849ab42a45 (2) mschap: EXPAND --nt-response=%{%{mschap:NT-Response}:-00} (2) mschap: --> --nt-response=7cba13f9a4b65406feb11d25441a189c18b2389b0fe6e922 (2) mschap: ERROR: Program returned code (1) and output 'The attempted logon is invalid.
