Hi experts, I want to try another way to authenticate devices by their MAC addresses. I don't really care about the security and just try to make the configuration easy. Here is my configuration: ==== hints ===== DEFAULT User-Name =~ "001422.*" Hint = "STB" ===== users ===== DEFAULT Hint == "STB", Cleartext-Password := "%{User-Name}" Then I use the radtest program to test the setup and it failed... radtest 001422111111 001422111111 localhost 1812 test123 Both lines in the hints and users file are match based on the radius -X output. However the password in the check attribute is not replaced with the username... Please help, thanks! Here is the radius -X output: rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 127.0.0.1 port 16011, id=123, length=64 User-Name = "001422111111" User-Password = "001422111111" NAS-IP-Address = 127.0.0.1 NAS-Port = 1812 +- entering group authorize {...} [preprocess] expand: %{User-Name} -> 001422111111 [preprocess] hints: Matched DEFAULT at 1 ++[preprocess] returns ok ++[chap] returns noop ++[mschap] returns noop [Marriott] No '/' in User-Name = "001422111111", looking up realm NULL [Marriott] No such realm "NULL" ++[Marriott] returns noop [eap] No EAP-Message, not doing EAP ++[eap] returns noop ++[unix] returns notfound [files] users: Matched entry DEFAULT at line 1 ++[files] returns ok ++[expiration] returns noop ++[logintime] returns noop ++[pap] returns updated Found Auth-Type = PAP +- entering group PAP {...} [pap] login attempt with password "001422111111" [pap] Using clear text password "%{User-Name}" [pap] Passwords don't match ++[pap] returns reject Failed to authenticate the user.
