Password: PEAP or freeradius bug?

[Paulo Cabrita]

Hello there!

We are using a wireless lan where our users use PEAP for authentication.

I think that PEAP must have a clear password in the database, in our 
case openldap (field clearpassword).

My question is: if the password starts with a "#", for instance ##12345, 
the freeradius doesn't get the password correctly. The debug only shows #.

Is this a limitation of freeradius or the ldap module or is it normal?

Using EAP/TLS the problem remains? Even if the password is not kept in 
clear text...

TIA
