Hi, When I was trying to authenticate ssh login through radius server, I noticed an conflict issue with password. I have a linux machine-1 in which radius server is installed. I have configured an user with name/password as root/public in /usr/local/etc/raddb/users. But the linux machine already have a 'root' user account with password 'public123'. Now I tried to ssh machine-2 with username 'root' and password 'public'. SSH of this machine-2 is configured with above radius server for authentication. But the radius server rejects the access-request and log as below. ----------------------------- ++[unix] returns updated [files] users: Matched entry root at line 107 ++[files] returns ok ++[expiration] returns noop ++[logintime] returns noop ++[pap] returns updated Found Auth-Type = PAP +- entering group PAP {...} [pap] login attempt with password "public" [pap] Using CRYPT encryption. [pap] Passwords don't match ++[pap] returns reject ----------------------- Note the highlighted lines. First line says '[unix] returns updated. Later says 'password doesn't match'. But if I try with Machine-1 password 'public123', it accepts the request. So looks like that the radius server authenticates with machine password & not using the configured one. Please clarify me if you have faced this issue. Regards, Dhandapani -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Password-conflict-between-Radius-Server-and-Machine-ac...
