Hi List, I have quite a interesting problem. And I don't think it's freeRADIUS-related, but I hope somebody else already had the same issue and can give me a hint. Also a hint where to dig / ask would be very nice... Okay, the setup: I'm using freeRADIUS aus 802.1x/PEAP authenticator for our WLAN-deployment and MS-AD als backend. It's the setup described in: http://wiki.freeradius.org/FreeRADIUS_Active_Directory_Integration_HOWTO And it's working quite well - for all machine accounts and most user accounts. So I assume my freeradius/samba/kerberos config is fine so far... The things I tracked: It seems all accounts migrated from the old NT or Windows2000 Domain are "Case Sensitive": For those accounts the Windows-User has to use exact the same upper/lower case for the user name used in AD's sAMAccountName - otherwise it won't work. For all new created accounts (after the migration) the case dosn't matter. Anybody heard of this or had the same issue? I already googled quite a lot, but I didn't come up with a solution. Just found some reports about similar problems. To the details: In my radius requests, I see following: For all new created accounts the windows login doesn't same to be case-sensitive. Regardless how the user name is written during login, in my radius requests I always see the username in exact the same way then it is stored in the AD. It seems the XP Client is doing some adjustments during auth. For the migrated accounts I see the user accounts in the same case then entered in the windows login - so it seems the client isn't doing these adjustments. And if the account is written in a different way, ntlm_auth is failing.

I hope somebody can give me a hint where to look or what to do. I also asked my Windows-People (I'm a unix guy...) but all the idea's they had didn't help... Thanks, Chris
