Alan, Thanks for your response. I am using the radius server to authenticate a web-application using browser usernam/password authentication. Here is the debug info when trying to authenticate an ordinary user Vinodh/vinodh which works perfectly!! :
Waking up in 4 seconds... --- Walking the entire request list --- Cleaning up request 7 ID 99 with timestamp 44e57654 Nothing to do. Sleeping until we see a request. rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 10.0.203.118:1026, id=97, length=72 User-Name = "Vinodh" User-Password = "vinodh" Service-Type = Authenticate-Only NAS-Identifier = "10.0.203.118" NAS-IP-Address = 10.0.203.118 Processing the authorize section of radiusd.conf modcall: entering group authorize for request 8 modcall[authorize]: module "preprocess" returns ok for request 8 modcall[authorize]: module "mschap" returns noop for request 8 rlm_realm: No '@' in User-Name = "Vinodh", looking up realm NULL rlm_realm: No such realm "NULL" modcall[authorize]: module "suffix" returns noop for request 8 rlm_eap: No EAP-Message, not doing EAP modcall[authorize]: module "eap" returns noop for request 8 users: Matched entry DEFAULT at line 152 modcall[authorize]: module "files" returns ok for request 8 modcall: leaving group authorize (returns ok) for request 8 rad_check_password: Found Auth-Type System auth: type "System" Processing the authenticate section of radiusd.conf modcall: entering group authenticate for request 8 modcall[authenticate]: module "unix" returns ok for request 8 modcall: leaving group authenticate (returns ok) for request 8 Sending Access-Accept of id 97 to 10.0.203.118 port 1026 Finished request 8 Going to the next request --- Walking the entire request list --- Waking up in 6 seconds... --- Walking the entire request list --- Cleaning up request 8 ID 97 with timestamp 44e57662 Nothing to do. Sleeping until we see a request. I have a setup in FreeRADIUS 0.5 where éâäåçêëèïîìÄæôòû/éâäåçêëèïîìÄæôòû seems to work. I am quite sure it is probably some configuration issue, but am not able to figure out where the issue is. Any help to resolve this is appreciated. Thanks.

The '?' is printed simply because it replaces a non-ASCII character. Are you sending the server UTF-8 strings in the User-Name? What client are you using?
