  User-Password is an attribute that goes into a RADIUS packet.

  Cleartext-Password is the "known good" password that the server has.

  You can use Cleartext-Password to do PAP, CHAP, or MS-CHAP
authentication.  But you can't really "compare" it to anything.

  The new configs are documented a lot better than the old ones.  There
is little documentation saying what the differences are.
