Dear friends: I am trying to set up a freeradius-1.1.0 server for authenticating users using MS-CHAP passwords. I pretend to authenticate users against shadow. I am using the default radius.conf and users files. I have included the microsoft dictionary in radiusclient.conf file. radtest shows ok: # radtest mts mypassword localhost 0 testing123 Sending Access-Request of id 160 to 127.0.0.1 port 1812 User-Name = "mts" User-Password = "mypassword" NAS-IP-Address = 255.255.255.255 NAS-Port = 0 rad_recv: Access-Accept packet from host 127.0.0.1:1812, id=160, length=20 But when I try to authenticate an user using MS-CHAP, I am getting this output: rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 127.0.0.1:1027, id=5, length=146 Service-Type = Framed-User Framed-Protocol = PPP User-Name = "mts" MS-CHAP-Challenge = 0x6b61b1ed954a289c0fa3aebedc329ac6 MS-CHAP2-Response = 0x8f0001684e1d34295e1232edb0682bd04e6e00000000000000002caaa9579823e00501812d3e2dce9225b7dd251c02e1fd89 Calling-Station-Id = "172.16.255.11" NAS-IP-Address = 192.168.181.254 NAS-Port = 0 Wed Feb 22 20:47:07 2006 : Debug: Processing the authorize section of radiusd.conf Wed Feb 22 20:47:07 2006 : Debug: modcall: entering group authorize for request 0 Wed Feb 22 20:47:07 2006 : Debug: modsingle[authorize]: calling preprocess (rlm_preprocess) for request 0 Wed Feb 22 20:47:07 2006 : Debug: modsingle[authorize]: returned from preprocess (rlm_preprocess) for request 0 Wed Feb 22 20:47:07 2006 : Debug: modcall[authorize]: module "preprocess" returns ok for request 0 Wed Feb 22 20:47:07 2006 : Debug: modsingle[authorize]: calling chap (rlm_chap) for request 0 Wed Feb 22 20:47:07 2006 : Debug: modsingle[authorize]: returned from chap (rlm_chap) for request 0 Wed Feb 22 20:47:07 2006 : Debug: modcall[authorize]: module "chap" returns noop for request 0 Wed Feb 22 20:47:07 2006 : Debug: modsingle[authorize]: calling mschap (rlm_mschap) for request 0 Wed Feb 22 20:47:07 2006 : Debug: rlm_mschap: Found MS-CHAP attributes.
