Re: Free Radius 2.1.1 showing clear text password at the debug mode
thank you for your reply. Yes i didn't just copy and paste, i did follow the instruction on Novell support page too and from community. So what i want to confirm here, are you saying that means in debug mode its "normal" for me "admin" to see the user password? I mean it's normal behaviour of radius 2.1.1? Thanks -- Best Regards, Danny
Hi,

yes. its normal behaviour - debug mode is for trouble-shooting/problem-solving not a mode you would run in a day to day basis. the server KNOWS the password..its stored in variables and arrays so if a 'bad guy' has access to the server they could get that password anywayin more trivial ways (such as logging it when a request came through). some sites do such things for enabling migration from one service to another...eg grab and put into another store etc... alan
