Alan,

Thanks for your reply.

I'm testing with a real client and access point.

OK - I wasn't sure posting the whole debug would be appreciated, but I have posted it at

http://www.nuffield.ox.ac.uk/scratch/debug-log-2.txt

> you should see the incantation of the ntlm_auth line - if not, then it's not being called

I can only see two references to ntlm_auth, this:-


Module: Instantiating ntlm_auth
  exec ntlm_auth {
	wait = yes
	program = "/usr/bin/ntlm_auth --request-nt-key --domain=MYDOMAIN --username=%{mschap:User-Name} --password=%{User-Password}"
	input_pairs = "request"
	shell_escape = yes
  }

And another line indicating the ntlm_auth config file is being included:-

including configuration file /etc/raddb/modules/ntlm_auth

Should I also see ntlm_auth being called during the authentication - presumably I should...

Thanks,

Mark

ignore those - the word 'reject' is being flagged without context.

okay.

and that will mean that MSCHAPv2 wont be working

how are you testing this - a real client, command line tool etc?  when you run it in full
debug mode - and you arent helping yourself by failing to post that here - you should
see the incantation of the ntlm_auth line - if not, then its not being called...and it
would be with the default configuration files.
