Re: FreeRADIUS without Universal Password

I had to ask, I have people telling me that this is a limitation of only FreeRADIUS and not all RADIUS servers in general.

Novell's Border Manager likely doesn't need the UP, simply because it uses secret Novell API's. Everyone else uses Universal passwords. *Everyone*.

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.

Storing the UP in clear text isn't a security issue. Really. Alan DeKok.
