Re: Which is Better LDAP or MySQL?

To all who replied to this message, I found the LDAP/CHAP compatibility problem. I had everything correct in the author/authen sections. In fact, the answer was in the previously mentioned FAQ by Kostas. We also use the "users" file to set defaults after the LDAP authorization and it was erroneo

LDAP authent/authorize and CHAP

Using LDAP with v0.81

Hello, I was testing v0.81 against our existing LDAP DB and the searches worked fine. The LDAP module seemed to authenticate the LDAP user but then somewhere along the line, "Auth-Type System" failed to "validate" the user. We only want to validate/authenticate dialin users against LDAP so doe
