1. In the MySQL database do you have the Attribute set to Password and not something else, for example "11 usernamehere PASSWORD == passwordhere" 2. In Freeradius users file DEFAULT Auth-Type := Local
NO. Do NOT SET THAT. It's NOT NECESSARY.
That point has been repeated again and again on this list.
no doubt, however it is interesting that many people come to a point where they make such a setting, don't you find. If you could clarify why that is and fix it you wouldn't have to shout in mailing lists. I have just verified it is not necessary by commenting it out, thanks. I think you're saying at http://deployingradius.com/documents/configuration/auth_type.html that a default auth-type is not necessary and should not be set. Is that so ? In which case having DEFAULT Auth-Type = System in the users file in the FreeRADIUS tarball helps to get us off on the wrong foot :-) Phil
