rlm_exec question

[T Kid82]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to accomplish a very simple task using RADIUS as an
authentication proxy.
All I need it to do is use the username/password combo sent in, run a
perl script to validate those credentials and return a pass or fail.
I have my perl script setup to return all the right codes as the
radiusd.conf specifies. ( < 0 : fail, 0 : ok , etc...)

I have added the following changes to the radiusd.conf file,
everything else is as it is out of the box.

  authorize {
      preprocess
      exec
  }

  authenticate {
      Auth-Type Exec {
          exec
      }
  }

In the modules section I added my program name / perl script (the
location is just a temp thing to get this going):

exec {
              program = "/usr/bin/authenticate.pl"
              wait = yes
              input_pairs = request
              output_pairs = reply

          }

When i run radtest, this is what I see in the logs

User-Name = "tkid"
        User-Password = "hlsearch"
        NAS-IP-Address = 127.0.0.1
        NAS-Port = 1645
+- entering group authorize
++[preprocess] returns ok
Exec-Program output: Error: Password check passed
Exec-Program: returned: 0
++[exec] returns ok
auth: No authenticate method (Auth-Type) configuration found for the
request: Rejecting the user
auth: Failed to validate the user.
Login incorrect: [tkid/hlsearch] (from client localhost port 1645)
  Found Post-Auth-Type Reject
+- entering group REJECT
        expand: %{User-Name} -> tkid
attr_filter: Matched entry DEFAULT at line 11
++[attr_filter.access_reject] returns updated
Finished request 0.
Going to the next request
Waking up in 4.9 seconds.
Cleaning up request 0 ID 149 with timestamp +10
Ready to process requests.



In essence, all I want is authentication and not authorization. How do
I accomplish that here?

Thanks for your help in advance.
Thanks,
