As I recall, when using CHAP the password isn't sent to the RADIUS server. The NAS sends a hash (been a while, maybe the wrong name). The server takes the plain text password it has and "hashes" it and compares the two hashes. Since RADIUS doesn't have the password it cannot force it to lower case. The only way to make the two "hashes" match is to have the passwords match -- case included. Michael ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael J.
