LDAP is installed and working out of the box, having been set to be used for authenication during the SUSE install. This is proven by the ability to log in to the box, both locally and via SSH I installed freeRADIUS from the latest source and it is working also. freeRADIUS seems unable to find a password for the user during Authenication. I issue the following on my workstation david@belld-ubuntu:~$ echo "User-Name = belld,Password=p455w0rd" | radclient 212.95.255.242:1812 auth testing Received response ID 99, code 3, length = 20 And see the following from freeRADIUS Listening on authentication address * port 1812 Listening on accounting address * port 1813 Ready to process requests. rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 212.95.252.25 port 20758, id=99, length=45 User-Name = "belld" User-Password = "p455w0rd" +- entering group authorize ++[preprocess] returns ok ++[chap] returns noop ++[mschap] returns noop rlm_realm: No '@' in User-Name = "belld", looking up realm NULL rlm_realm: No such realm "NULL" ++[suffix] returns noop rlm_eap: No EAP-Message, not doing EAP ++[eap] returns noop ++[unix] returns notfound ++[files] returns noop rlm_ldap: - authorize rlm_ldap: performing user authorization for belld WARNING: Deprecated conditional expansion ":-".

What I cant work out is whether this is due to an LDAP or a RADIUS config problem.
