Yeah, perhaps, the header was not in the password value. I use dialup-admin and MySQL. Anyway, I ended up using the specific password attribute "Crypt-Password" instead of "User-Password".

the debug from freeradius shows this. so i guess could be the password storage as you said.
 Module: Instantiating pap
  pap {
    encryption_scheme = "auto"
    auto_header = yes
  }

Subject: Re: PAP Auto Header

* added,

And no you shouldn't need to use auto-hearder if you've set the appropriate password attribute.

The recommended way is to prepend the headers, and use auto_header as its more flexible, and allows you to migrate between hash schemes non disruptively.

That would depend on whether you've add the correct header to the hash :)

Hi,

I set PAP module as below. In my DB, user attribute is User-Password. Value of User-Password is an MD5 or CRYPT password. Shouldn't auto-header=yes able to detect the encryption scheme used in the password? What will the auto-header setting for if I still have to specifically set attributes such as MD5-Password or Cleartext-Password, etc.

pap {
    auto_header = yes
}

thanks,
det
