Hi All- Well, this is slightly entertaining:
((this is not a FreeRADIUS mis-posting, please read on...)) I've been using FreeRADIUS for a few weeks on a USR Hiper Access 96 bank dialup rack, authenticating with PAP. Randomly, a forward slash plus three digits were being added to the password portion of the authentication request. The FreeRADIUS forum folks said it was a glitch in my W98 client(s) -- they were sometimes sending an extra bit of info (?). While I could definitely buy the possibility that MS had once again screwed up a standard protocol, I decided to try CISTRON RADIUSD. Guess what? No more /### at the end of passwords. Ok, so I don't have people saying "sometimes it accepts my password, and sometimes it doesn't ... what's going on?" Good deal. Yeah. But... In FreeRADIUS there is an option to alter the user name's case Before or After authentication (failure). I have many users who (even though you say to use lower case), continue to use a capital letter or two in their login name. Since all users are entered into Linux as lower-case, the authentication fails in CISTRON RADIUSD whereas it had passed in FreeRADIUS. (Authentication method is System.) System is RH8. ---== My question is: ==--- ---=== Can you force usernames to be rewritten in lowercase on the fly using CISTRON like you can with FreeRADIUS? (ie. force lower case before authentication attempt) All help and comments on the subject will be greatly appreciated. TIA! -Ryan Beisner ... - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
