In FreeRADIUS 1.1, I can ask LDAP server to authenticate users with name foo@ldap by configuring like this: --- File: hints --- DEFAULT Suffix == "ldap", Strip-User-Name = Yes Hint = "ldap" --- File: users --- DEFAULT Hint == "ldap", Auth-Type := LDAP -- File: radiusd.conf --- modules { ldap { ... } } authorize { ... # ldap ... } authenticate { ... Auth-Type LDAP { ldap } ... } After upgrading to 2.0.4, when starting `radiusd -X' it failed with error: /usr/local/FreeRADIUS-2.0.4/etc/raddb/users[179]: Parse error (check) for entry DEFAULT: Unknown value LDAP for attribute Auth-Type 2.0.4 does not support this usage any longer?
