RE: Authentication with user-password

[Alex Chen]

First, the names in the DB are all case sensitive. They are 'UserName', 'Attribute', 'op', and 'Value'.  Not 'username', 'attribute', 'op', and 'value'.   Second, name of password field is either 'User-Password', which is the standard attribute defined in the RFC, or 'Crypt-Password' a server side attribute. Look for these names in the 'dictionary' file.   'User-Password' is plain text and 'Crypt-Password' contains encrypted password.  The encryption method used is the 'crypt' function in Linux.  See the 'cryptpasswd'  Perl script under the scripts subdirectory.   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Salvin Kumar Sent: Sunday, July 27, 2003 7:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Authentication with user-password Hi   I am able to authenticate users from the database with the use of  the password. And this is how my radcheck table looks:   radius=# SELECT * from radcheck;  id | username | attribute | op | value ----+----------+-----------+----+-------   3 | trial    | password  | == | test   1 | joe      | password  | == | eoj   2 | salvin   | password  | == | sal (3 rows)   Now I want to authenticate a user without the password. How is that possible.     cheers
