why encryption schemes for pap
hi, why are encryption schemes for pap required? it is supposed to be clear-text under all circumstances right??? we can see in radiusd.conf.. # PAP module to authenticate users based on their stored password # # Supports multiple encryption schemes # clear: Clear text # crypt: Unix crypt # md5: MD5 ecnryption # sha1: SHA1 encryption. # DEFAULT: crypt pap { encryption_scheme = crypt } so why is this required?? --DilipSimha
Hi,

we can see in radiusd.conf.. # PAP module to authenticate users based on their stored password ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
do you want to store the users passwords in plain text? many people dotn - thus, you can store them in crypt, md5 or sha1 forms instead within plain text files, database tables, or even unix passwd files. alan
