I'm wondering if this warning is important and how I can get ride of it. I put  the ldap auth in the /raddb/sites-available/default file but the following warning keeps coming back, even tough the user's attributes are passed:

  You really do need to upgrade to 2.2.10.  It's 100% configuration compatible with 2.2.6, and contains a number of security fixes and bug fixes.

  You're probably using Active Directory.  Or, the admin user doesn't have permission to read the users password, and you're doing "bind as user".

  ... and explain *why* you're getting an Access-Accept.  Reading them will be helpful.

  The warning is there because many people configure LDAP and FreeRADIUS incorrectly, and get Access-Reject.  Then, wonder why it happened.

  Well, the message is there to tell them the likely source of the error.

  If you're getting Access-Accept, it's fine.  And the only way to get rid of the message is editing the source code.  Which you don't want to do.

 And it's only a warning.  It's not an error.  It can be safely ignored.
