Failed to find "pap" as a module or policy

9 Aug 2019

      Hi,

I am using Freeradius 3.0.12 (official deb package on Debian 9).

When I start daemon, I get this error:

/etc/freeradius/3.0/sites-enabled/default[459]: Failed to find "pap" as a module or policy.
/etc/freeradius/3.0/sites-enabled/default[459]: Please verify that the configuration exists in /etc/freeradius/3.0/mods-enabled/pap.
/etc/freeradius/3.0/sites-enabled/default[459]: Failed to parse "pap" entry.

File /etc/freeradius/3.0/mods-enabled/pap exists, with this content:

# -*- text -*-
#
# $Id: 0038ecd154840c71ceff33ddfdd936e4e28e0bcd $

# PAP module to authenticate users based on their stored password
#
# Supports multiple encryption/hash schemes. See "man rlm_pap"
# for details.
#
# For instructions on creating the various types of passwords, see:
#
# http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/347.html
pap {
# By default the server will use heuristics to try and automatically
# handle base64 or hex encoded passwords. This behaviour can be
# stopped by setting the following to "no".
# normalise = yes
}

My "default" site config is:

server default {
listen {
type = auth
ipaddr = *
port = 0
limit {
max_connections = 16
lifetime = 0
idle_timeout = 30
}
}
listen {
ipaddr = *
port = 0
type = acct
limit {
}
}
listen {
type = auth
port = 0
limit {
max_connections = 16
lifetime = 0
idle_timeout = 30
}
}
listen {
ipv6addr = ::
port = 0
type = acct
limit {
}
}
authorize {
chap
mschap
-sql
-ldap
pap
}
authenticate {
Auth-Type PAP {
pap
}

Auth-Type CHAP {
chap
}
Auth-Type MSCHAP {
mschap
}
mschap
}
preacct {
}
accounting {
-sql
}
session {
}
post-auth {
update {
&reply: += &session-state:
}
-sql
Post-Auth-Type REJECT {
-sql
}
}
pre-proxy {
}
post-proxy {

}
