I decided to install free radius 2.1.6-2 to test it and then to upgrade my existing versions in my servers. I configured my free radius to use ldap. When I tried to authenticate from the new radius it gave me the following message "from radius -X".
Replacing User-Password in config items with Cleartext-Password. !!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!! Please update your configuration so that the "known good" !!! !!! clear text password is in Cleartext-Password, and not in User-Password. !!!
Note that when I wrote the password encrypted "like *%@&ksjd%@sdgsadgjhsb" I was able to login but when I wrote the password in clear text "like test" I failed to login.
Password in ldap probably has a header. You can ignore the message then, because server will convert User-Password to appropriate password attribute on it's own (Crypt-Password for {crypt}, SHA-Password for {sha} etc.) if auto-header is enabled. Post the whole debug. Ivan Kalik Kalik Informatika ISP
