special characters in passwords + FR + ldap

[Natalia Escalera]

Hello,

We tried FR 1.1.1 and we are still having problems with passwords containing
special characters like '$' for the LDAP authentication. In FR 1.1.0 the '$'
was replaced by a character such as '%24'. For the new version, the symbol
'$' is deleted as well as the character that is next to it. Here is an
example of the executed command and its output:

Command:
/usr/local/bin/radtest username "test$2006" x.x.x.x 1 test123
Output:
Sending Access-Request of id 215 to x.x.x.x port 1812
User-Name = "username"
User-Password = "test006"        #<----- No dollar sign, no number 2
NAS-IP-Address = 255.255.255.255
NAS-Port = 1
rad_recv: Access-Reject packet from host  x.x.x.x:1812, id=215, length=20

Can this situation be considered please?

Thank you in advance,
Natalia.
