We are in the process of setting up Radius to work with Wcom/UUNet resell as
well. If you could share your user config with me so I could see how the
setup looks (I assume yours is working), it would save me a lot of time
trying to understand their less than adaquate documentation on how to set it
up to meet their needs.

I would owe you a big one and will even help research the Chap issue for
you. I will be testing with Wcom tomorrow and have a small window so any
guidance you have would be appreciated. If you send you users file, just
comment out your passwords and such.

Thanks
Michael

Subject: CHAP-Password & LDAP Auth?



I'm currently using Steel Belted Radius w/ UU.net and trying to replicate
the functionality of our stell belted server w/ freeradius. Basically we
take incoming proxied auth requests from UU, auth them, and reply back to
the proxy.

I grabbed some of the inbound packets off the wire so I could look at what
attributes we're recieving, so that I could build similar looking access
requests with radclient.

My problem is that the packets from them send the password as CHAP-Password
attribute. If I set this in my test data for radclient, my freeradius 0.5
server says: Wed Mar 20 15:35:57 2002 : Auth: rlm_ldap: Attribute
"User-Password" is required for authentication. Cannot use "CHAP-Password".
Wed Mar 20 15:35:57 2002 : Auth: Login incorrect:
[{ed: whatever username -sko}/<CHAP-Password>] (from nas UNKNOWN-NAS port 0
cli 8475061520)

If I use just User-Password, this works like a dream. Any suggetions?

-Shawn

  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.
