Let me use an example to illustrate what I met. my username and passwd are user1 and 1234: I've tried the following configurations fixed_login: driver = plaintext public_name = LOGIN ============================ client_send =: user1 : 1234\: client_send =: user1 : 1234\\: client_send =: user1 : 1234\\\\: client_send =": user1 : 1234\:" client_send =": user1 : 1234\\:" client_send =": user1 : 1234\\\:" client_send =": user1 : 1234\\\\:" client_send =: user1 : "1234\:" client_send =: user1 : "1234\\:" client_send =: user1 : "1234\\\:" client_send =: user1 : "1234\\\\:" all failed when authenticating. Please give me some advice. Thanks again. Latrell.
