I checked the example, but it's not clear to me why it is so. In my envirnoment I authenticate against an LDAP server, so according to the ldap.attrmap file the LDAP attribute "userPassword" (which contain the password in clear text form) is copied to the check-item "User-Password". While no attribute seems copied as check-item "Cleartext-Password". Still the mschap module is able to authenticate the users. Is it done "behind the curtain" by the ldap module ? In may environment da LDAP server also is used by samba; so there're also LM/NT password available (in fact, some users are not also samba users but are authenticed via radius); but while googling about using freeradius with LDAP that possibility wasn't mentioned, while I found an howto that said to add to ldap.attrmap the line: checkItem User-Password userPassword
