  You have to set the "known good password" for the user.

  No, that's not correct.  You have to set Cleartext-Password.  All of the documentation and examples say to do this.

  If you found something that says to use User-Password, then:

a) that documentation is 10+ years old

b) it's written by some third party who has nothing to do with FreeRADIUS
