Well, I've searched through the lists, but haven't found anything that 
seems to relate to this, so here goes. Please let me know if you've seen 
this cross the list and I'll try to look a little harder.

The problem seems to be with a 63-character username in combination with a
16-character password. In this case, the username isn't a local user, but
an iPass user where it comes in with a long string that goes something
like "IPASS/(sessionid)/[EMAIL PROTECTED]" as the username (the whole
string being a total of 63 characters) and any 16-character password.
Freeradius shows the password as containing an extra character on the end
(usually a 0, but sometimes weird upper ascii as well).  It then does the
proxying to IPASS just fine, but with the extra character in the password,
auth fails.

This seems to happen with Ascend Max, Cisco, and Portmaster III NASes, but 
for the life of me I can't seem to tell if it's the NAS's fault or radius' 
fault. (I'd suspect the NAS because radtest doesn't seem to fail, but why 
would it be all three different kinds of NAS?)

Anyone heard of anything remotely like this? I wouldn't have noticed 
except we're providing POPs to iPass in a couple of areas, and they 
contacted me about their tests failing.

Pointers to docs and/or code modules appreciated as well. I'm not entirely 
sure where to start looking! :-)

Thanks!

Kristina
