I have set up Freeradius 0.8.1 on a basic RedHat 8.0 install to replace several windows radius servers we run right now. Freeradius auths off of a mysql database using cleartext passwords so that CHAP may be used. We resell DSL lines through a larger ISP who proxies the auths to our radius servers using pap. After I got all the username/passwords and group attributes put into the sql database, I had the ISP start proxying the requests to the new box running freeradius, and this is what showed up in the logs:
... Auth: Login incorrect: [username/\007\323\002m2\227\035b%\346\211\234\036\342\233a] (from client theclient port 0) The server proxying these requests is using PAP, the encryption_scheme = clear in radiusd.conf, and I know the PAP module is loading just before the CHAP module does. I know that I could run the server in debug mode to see exactly what is going on, but its a live box that is handling all auths for my company now (except DSL :) and my superiors will not let me take it down, restart, etc at all. The larger ISP who proxies these requests to us is notoriously hard to get a hold of for issues like testing a new radius server (sometimes it takes over a week just hear back from them). To test the new system, I had to actually take the old windows RADIUS server down (after making sure the clients/secrets and username/password information was on the new box also) and steal it's ip address. So I'm hoping somebody may have an idea on what is going on. Thanks all. -Chris - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
