I had to ask, I have people telling me that this is a limitation of
only FreeRADIUS and not all RADIUS servers in general. There is a
concern that the UP is being stored in clear text in Novell and we
need to turn off that service and only use simple password. Since I
am no Novell admin I really do not have a clue if we can encrypt the
UP that is stored on the server or what other implications there are
in turning off UP.

Do you by chance know if every RADIUS server acts the same way? For

Please read this explanation again:
The Novell password is not stored as an attribute unless Universal
password is enabled. It exists in eDirectory, can be created/
modified by
ldap as userpassword but cannot be returned in an ldap search.
The password can't be seen by *any* RADIUS server until it's stored
as
a Universal password.
This is a limitation of Novell's LDAP server, and applies to all LDAP
clients, whether they are RADIUS servers, command-line clients, web
servers, or anything else.
