well i want to use database in place of user file. now as i see one option is using mysql or using LDAP. Unfortunately i am biased towards LDAP as i have already created my database in it.
That's fine.
and my problem starts here this radius server will come into picture only when i enable WPA in my AP and when i enable this i cant send user-password in clear text to server, but my sever which is configured for LDAP wont understand that "THEN WHY WE HAVE THIS OPTION???????"
I don't think you're understanding it.
again even on client side if you use wpa you have to mention eap type, for windows we dont have more then two options available PEAP and TTLS not even md5 and all so if they are configured for wpa they wont send password in clear text then also how will my server authenticate it using LDAP...
http://deployingradius.com/documents/protocols/oracles.html LDAP is a database. It is NOT an authentication server. FreeRADIUS is an authentication server.
my username and password has a big list and i just want to use database for this connection now can anyone help me out!!!
You can use a database. FreeRADIUS takes the clear-text password from the database, and authenticates the user. All of the documentation you're reading is correct. Alan DeKok.
