Somewhere, can't remember where, the password gets changed like that to force an authentication failure in eDirectory. If there are enough tries it will trigger eDirectory's intruder detection lockout - if it's enabled.
Are you sure the user is "authorized"? Since you didn't send a debug log I'm assuming that you did not have one. The only way you can see if the user is authorized by freeradius is through the debug log. Any other reference to authorized - as in the wireless connect dialogue from Windows - is not what freeradius is talking about. We saw this behavior when the userid in eDirectory did not have the proper radius attributes set. It has to have them and eDirectory has to return them in order for the user to be authorized. Then freeradius binds to eDirectory with the userid and password for authentication.

The default configuration of FreeRADIUS doesn't re-write passwords this way. In fact, it doesn't re-write passwords at all. Either you changed something on your local system to re-write the passwords like this, OR this is actually how the passwords are being received by FreeRADIUS. If this is how the passwords are being received by FreeRADIUS, then it is NOT a FreeRADIUS problem. Go fix the client, or use a client that works. Alan DeKok. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
