I posted an idea and you decided not to reply to my questions !

I suspect that your VPN server doesn't know Microsoft Radius
attributes and refuses to send them to the radius server. I've tested
a bad setup (lack of Microsoft radius dictionary), and I get the same
radiusd -X debug log: no MS-CHAP Challenge in the request...
I've ensured thet /etc/radiusclient/ and /etc/raddb have the same
dictionary. (dictionary and dictionary.microsoft,.)

I asked "have you checked possible error messages in /var/log/messages
 " on the vpn server ?
To be more specific, look for the following lines in you log file:
" rc_avpair_new: unknown attribute"

No such error messages appear on my Radius Server.

This error is to be seen on the PPPd server, not on the Freeradius server. It is an error from the PPPd radius plugin (in fact the radiusclient library).

I had them once when
I tried to change the dictionary to the one in /usr/share/freeradius,
but I imported the official dictionary.microsoft one and they went away.

Curiuous, I never had to change the microsoft dictionary from the official Freeradius distribution !!!

If you see such lines it might be that your radiusclient library (used
by the PPPd plugin on your VPN server) doesn't understand the
Microsoft attributes (for instance the MS-CHAP Challenge). Thus, the
PPPd radius plugin doesn't send these attributes that are required for
Freeradius to do MS-CHAP authentication.

Could you really check that your dictionnary file on the VPN server
side contains a line like:
INCLUDE /usr/share/radiusclient-ng/dictionary.microsoft

and check the content of this file...

HTH,

I found A possible culprit.

Jan 13 16:54:41 kurama pppd[11364]: rc_avpair_new: unknown attribute 11
Jan 13 16:54:41 kurama pppd[11364]: rc_avpair_new: unknown attribute 25


This is not a possible culprit: This IS THE CULPRIT, and it confirms my diagnostic.

On your PPPd server, you have to update you:
* add a dictionary/microsoft file on the radiusclient dictionary directory (/etc/radiusclient or /usr/share/radiusclient-ng depending on your distro). * modify the dictionary file in this directory to INCLUDE this file (see below).

Then your authentication should work fine.

Let me know...
