DialUp Admin And Crypt Passwords

[Geoffrey Cauchi]

Hi

Further to my previous post, I managed to get around this problem

By default, md5 passwords are generated without the key appended.  To solve:
Change the file /usr/local/dialup_admin/lib/crypt/md5.php3 from

<?php
function da_encrypt($passwd)
{
        return md5($passwd);
}
?>

with the following

<?php
function da_encrypt($passwd)
{
        $salt = NULL;
                for ($i = 0; $i < 8; $i++)
                {
                        $salt .=
substr('0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ',
rand(0,61), 1);
                }
        $salt = '$1$'.$salt.'$';
        return crypt($passwd, $salt);
}
?>

I hope this helps someone else :-)

Hi

I got the Freeradius version 1.0.4 setup with MySql.  It is all working
fine.  However, when creating users through the dialup admin, the password
is stored in the database without the salt key for md5, and this is causing
the users' access request to be rejected.  If the password is created
through the unix passwd utility and then updated in the sql database, that
user can authenticate successfully.

Has anyone came across this problem?

Thanks for your help
