Hi, There seems to be a problem if the username/password contain the character Ä, when trying to authenticate via freeradius.
rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 127.0.0.1:33292, id=245, length=98 User-Name = "\303\251\303\242\303\244\303\245\303\247\303\252\303\250\303\257\303\256\303\254\303\204\303\246\303\264\303\262\303\273" User-Password = "\222\023S~\345v\322\250\207\216\261\206\242J\301\301\251\006\233\026N\374\014\213\036c\022'\220\r\370\210" NAS-IP-Address = 255.255.255.255 NAS-Port = 1812 Processing the authorize section of radiusd.conf modcall: entering group authorize for request 1 modcall[authorize]: module "preprocess" returns ok for request 1 modcall[authorize]: module "mschap" returns noop for request 1 rlm_realm: No '@' in User-Name = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", looking up realm NULL rlm_realm: No such realm "NULL" modcall[authorize]: module "suffix" returns noop for request 1 rlm_eap: No EAP-Message, not doing EAP modcall[authorize]: module "eap" returns noop for request 1 users: Matched entry DEFAULT at line 152 modcall[authorize]: module "files" returns ok for request 1 modcall: leaving group authorize (returns ok) for request 1 rad_check_password: Found Auth-Type System auth: type "System" Processing the authenticate section of radiusd.conf modcall: entering group authenticate for request 1 rlm_unix: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: invalid password modcall[authenticate]: module "unix" returns reject for request 1 modcall: leaving group authenticate (returns reject) for request 1 auth: Failed to validate the user.
