Andrew thanks for the quick reply.

Looks like you don't have
the LDAP information setup correctly.
FreeRADIUS can't login to LDAP with the settings (un)specified.

> rlm_ldap: (re)connection attempt failed
> rlm_ldap: search failed

Yep, knew that, but expected to continue with the text auth since the user existed in that file.

LDAP returns fail, which is
weighted heavier than the both the "noop"
returned by mschap and the "ok" returned by files. Because
LDAP
returns "fail," the entire request returns "fail."
You can specify
different weighted settings for noop, fail, etc, but the obvious
answer is to fix your LDAP settings and then try again.

How do you go about setting the weighting. I want to be able to use text, ldap and mysql so that we have various fall back options with a failure of the external databases (ldap and mysql).

Once you can
login to the LDAP, if the user does not exist in there then LDAP
should return "noop" for the request. If you want a user to
exist in
both the LDAP and the users file with different passwords, that
requires a bit of tweaking but I've got it working if you need to see

Would like to see how you did it.

Hope this helps!
