Hello, you already got this reply earlier, but here goes...
> this is the logfile output after testing with radexample: > > rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 127.0.0.1:1025, id=40, length=66 > User-Name = "testuser" > User-Password = "123456" > Service-Type = Authenticate-Only > NAS-IP-Address = 127.0.0.1 > NAS-Port = 0 This is a "good" Access-Request packet. It contains a User-Name and a User-Password. That way a RADIUS server can check if the user is valid, i.e. he compares the User-Password attribute for that user with the password he has stored internally. The outcome of this is a binary decision: either the user entered the correct password and may access the network or he entered a wrong one and may not. > and this is the output after trying to connect via pptpd with winxp prof. > Ready to process requests. > rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 127.0.0.1:1025, id=41, length=54 > Service-Type = Framed-User > Framed-Protocol = PPP > User-Name = "testuser" > NAS-IP-Address = 66.150.161.140 > NAS-Port = 0 This is a "bad" Access-Request. _Please_ note that this packet does not contain the user's password; the User-Password attribute is just missing. Because of that, the server cannot determine whether this user may enter the network or not. There is absolutely nothing you can do about this _on the RADIUS server side_ (well, maybe except admitting blindly everybody without checking passwords). You will have to fix the pptpd so that it sends the User-Password to the RADIUS server so that the server has a chance of verifying the user's identity. And this is exactly the reason why you got the error message from the FR server: > rlm_ldap: Attribute "User-Password" is required for authentication. Note the word "required".
