Funny thing is Wcom give you a choice in their configure sheet of using PAP
or CHAP but then tell you both must be supported when you go to schedule the
test time. :)

  See the FAQ for further explanation.

  Don't use CHAP.

  From what I recall, the LDAP module tries to authenticate to the LDAP
server, usin g the username/password supplied in the packet. Therefore, it
needs access to the plain-text password, as it's telling you.

  The alternative is to use a DB which stores the password in clear text.
