Hi All, I am using free radius server with dot1X. and supplicant is on windows XP. Here when I use user name <= 3 letters I am getting following error... 1. Received packet from 192.168.112.90 with invalid Message-Authenticator! (Shared secret is incorrect.) and for user name <=3 my client is getting following error. 2. Malformed RADIUS packet from host 192.168.0.1: too short (length 17 < minimum 20). where as radius RFC say... user name length can be >= 3. since user name goes as part of attributes in radius packet... but errors we are getting are totally different. I mean first we are getting related to message-authenticator where as we are passing username with length <=3. and second error my client getting is related to packet length...another interesting thing is we get these errors only for PEAP configuration.... this will work for MD5 and others. can any one help me in this. Thanx in Advance... ---Raghu.
