3.0.9: eap: Failed continuing EAP MD5 (4) session. EAP sub-module failed

[Mohamed Lrhazi]

Hello,

Any idea why 3.0.9 would reject an ldap user with the above error, while
3.0.8 would successfully authenticate them? The two servers have the same
config files.

I looked at the debug output and could not see a difference.. just an error:

for the same user, hence same password hash fetched from same LDAP server:
