FreeRadius-1.1.0 - rlm_digest with MD5 passwords in a MySQL db

[Philippe Sultan]

Hi Evan,

I don't have much experience with the FR 'sql' module. I know it is
possible to achieve what you want using LDAP as a backend database. In
this case, the password is mapped to an LDAP attribute (ex.
userPassword), which value is pulled out during the 'authorize'
process. I don't know whether a similar operation can be expected with
'sql', maybe someone else has an answer.

Just for testing purpose, have you tried using the 'users' file?
