htpasswod authentication.

[Agent Smith]

You sir are a lifesaver.


If anyone else wants to know, I had to change auto_header = yes in pap section of radiusd.conf and set the encryption schema to crypt 
then 
in user file delete all just do single line entry per user  which can be scripted easily from htpasswd.

username    Auth-Type := PAP, Crypt-Password == "xx-crypted-pwd-from-htpasswd-xx"

does your htpasswd have md5, crypt or sha1?  either way, should be able to handle
it, you'll just need to tag it right 

eg you might be able to convert


john:n5MfEoHOIQkKg

to


john Cleartext-Password := "{crypt}n5MfEoHOIQkKg"


replace {crypt} with {md5}, {sha} as required: read the man page for rlm_pap for further info..
you might need to just use the 'right' password attribute type if the above isnt on the mark
