Dears, I would like to make a radius authentication while access to a Network Elements (Nortel ERS 8600). This authentication will be done via LDAP. Everything seems to be ok except that when the request is sent from the Network elements the password is not in clear text and then FreeRadius says that password didn't matches. When I try from RadPing (from my laptop) then my LDAP authentication is OK Can you please help me?
