 It is impossible to use CHAP to authenticate to AD.  You MUST use
MS-CHAP, or PAP.


When testing my Radius server with AD and XSupplicant I found that EAP-TTLS with MD5 inner auth and EAP-MD5 as well as EAP-TTLS with CHAP inner auth all failed.

So you have explained why EAP-TTLS (CHAP) fails, thanks!

So, is EAP-MD5 and EAP-TTLS (MD5) not possible also, or is my Radius config broken?

EAP-MD5 won't work either...

Ok the basic requirement for most Authentication schemes transferring the users credentials as a none reversible hash, is that the password is available RADIUS side as either a clear-text string, or as a reversible hash which can be transformed back into a clear-text string.



I say most because there is of course a few exceptions, the most notable being MSCHAP & MSCHAPv2 which allow you to store the password directory side as an MD4 hash of the passphrase encoded as a 16bit unicode string (NT Password) or a LANMAN password (can't remember the encoding for that).

For those interested how the passwords are made, see the man page for smbpasswd(5). e.g.: http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/ smbpasswd.5.html


I believe that AD uses NT Password hashes, which is why PEAP just works out of the box with Microsoft IAS. So no MD5/ CHAP won't work with active directory. But PAP, MSCHAP/ MSCHAPv2 should all work just fine.

Thanks,
Arran
