No. Not at all :-)

I just want to know whether I need to send User-Password also in the request packet for CHAP. That's it.

There is no problem when I don't send User-Password with CHAP-Password. Any thoughts on this why it is happening like this? I am attaching the Access packet info below for both success and failure cases.

  This is forbidden by the RADIUS protocol.  There is *no* reason for
doing this.

  The only reason to have a bad CHAP-Password, or to send both
User-Password && CHAP-Password in the same packet is if you're writing
your own RADIUS client.

  Are you asking this list for free support so that you can write your
own RADIUS client?
