Hi, I am using freeradius+perl+ldap. Meaning for every request I get the users information from a LDAP-Server, run it through some perl-code to distinguish some users form others for some reason (:-)). Now my problem are users not listed in the ldap-system. I want to use the users-file to overrule the ldap-system. Meaning if a user is found in the users-file and the password matches, ignore everything else. I think I had it working already, but somehow it does not work anymore! :-( My authorization-section looks as follows: authorize { preprocess chap mschap eap # # Read the 'users' file files # # The ldap module will set Auth-Type to LDAP if it has not # already been set ldap # needed to get user information perl # needed to twist the users a little bit :-) } my users-file is standard, containing: "help" Auth-Type := Local, User-Password == "support" Idle-Timeout := 30 Thanks for your help, Florian Prester
