Hi,
I had to ask, I have people telling me that this is a limitation of only FreeRADIUS and not all RADIUS servers in general. There is a concern that the UP is being stored in clear text in Novell and we need to turn off that service and only use simple password. Since I am no Novell admin I really do not have a clue if we can encrypt the UP that is stored on the server or what other implications there are in turning off UP.
you *might& be able to encrypt it - it'll still have to be in the same place etc - then you might be able to use the auto-handle features of FreeRADIUS for it to decrypt the password to something suitable. never tried, but sounds feasible. the record would/may(?) have to start with the encryption flavour used eg {SHA256} or somesuch alan
