Greetings all,

I have been asked if our Riverbed console users can also be authenticated 
through freeRadius. Riverbed has RiOS running, which is almost Cisco IOS and a 
Radius Server can be configured so I did. In freeRadius I added the Riverbed as 
client but unfortunately it was not that easy (is it ever?).

rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 10.1.1.27 port 9538, id=37, length=71
        User-Name = "username"
        User-Password = "/\227\334\377\374\302\343\204\345\001'O\227"
        NAS-Identifier = "webasd"
        NAS-Port = 8513
        NAS-Port-Type = Virtual
        Service-Type = Authenticate-Only

That is not the password I entered, my conclusion is that Riverbed encrypts the 
password before the entire request is encrypted using the shared secret.

I cannot find a way to change how Riverbed sends the request, though I am 
writing a ticket there as well. My question to you, can freeRadius work with 
encrypted passwords?

Thanks in advance,

Chris Schaatsbergen
