Please anybody help me... I am reposting this message, since I am hitting the dead end with this issue.... Thanks in advance... Hi to all... Does anyone have any idea why placing the following two lines into users file works perfectly with both PAP and CHAP users btest User-Password == Master1 btest Crypt-Password == "$1$KyUhHIHD$R7mAm4rPX1q4WTEJY5rKQ1" whereas placing the same two records into radcheck table doesn't work for PAP it does however work for CHAP? username | att | op | val --------------+-------------------------+----+----------- btest | User-Password | == | Master1 btest | Crypt-Password | == | $1$KyUhHIHD$R7mAm4rPX1q4WTEJY5rKQ1 It seems that rlm_sql is hitting the unencrypted password only, whereas encryption-scheme in radiusd.conf is defined crypt... Am I missing something?
