  My suggestion is to have a separate program that does that
authentication.  It's probably much easier to manage.

Alan,

What I want to do is to a user has more then one
biometric identity, each linked to a profile.  
The application reads and processes the biometric
identity in form of a hash or large number. Then I
forward this to radius for authentication, this will
guarantee that user bob with that particular biometric
id, is actually allowed to logon for the given
application. 
 The idea is to have a profile based system, in
which the user is authenticated by profile name and
biometric identity. 

Regards
Kenneth

  It's hard, because it's not a good thing to do.

  What problem are you trying to solve?  There may be alternate solutions.

multiple passwords for the same user

2007-03-04 Thread Kenneth Penza
People,


 I am new to freeradius and I need to implement
the following setup. User with username  bob, has to
two passwords pass1 and pass2. I want him to
authenticate with either one of them, i.e. if he
enters username bob and pass1 he is authenticated
without the need to enter pass2. How can I implement
this in freeradius.

Thanks in advance for your help
Kenneth
