  That is the *good* password, or the *correct* password, as known to the server.

  The User-Password contains whatever string the user entered.  Which may or may not be the same text as the good password.

  The server compares the User-Password to the "known good" password.  If they're the same (or compatible, as with SMD5-Password), the user has entered the correct password, and the user is authenticated.  If they're different, the user has entered the wrong password.

  Read the debug output.

  And you're testing with...

(0) Received Access-Request Id 134 from 127.0.0.1:49494 to 127.0.0.1:1812 length 76
(0)   User-Name = "ndavis"

   So...

  The User-Name doesn't match the entry in the "users" file.  That's why it doesn't match.  It's not the same.
