What do you mean when you say database? LDAP,sql,other? I am pressuming that you
mean sql. You can use the pap module to authenticate pap requests which supports
clear,crypt and md5 encryption. Just remember to put the sql module in the
authorize section so that it can extract the user password from the database for
the pap module to use.
