Hi experts,

I want to try another way to authenticate devices by their MAC addresses. I don't really care about the security and just try to make the configuration easy. Here is my configuration:

==== hints =====
DEFAULT User-Name =~ "001422.*"
        Hint = "STB"

===== users =====
DEFAULT Hint == "STB", Cleartext-Password := "%{User-Name}"

Then I use the radtest program to test the setup and it failed...
radtest 001422111111 001422111111 localhost 1812 test123

Both lines in the hints and users file are match based on the radius -X output. However the password in the check attribute is not replaced with the username... Please help, thanks!

Here is the radius -X output:
rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 127.0.0.1 port 16011, id=123, length=64
        User-Name = "001422111111"
        User-Password = "001422111111"
        NAS-IP-Address = 127.0.0.1
        NAS-Port = 1812
