(RADIATOR) Radiator configuration File and Password

2002-02-21 Thread Shaun Eck



Hi

I would like to get some assistance on how to have 
the password clipped from within the configuration file radius.cfg. Let me 
explain further. We have configured the radius.cfg file to be able 
to authenticate both from a file and from a database. The authentication 
is done by implementing the subscribers table as recommended by the installation 
process. However we are denied access when the user that is logging-in is 
in the subscribers table. We have found that by including the additional 
spaces in the password that equal the size of the password ,field define in the 
subscribers table, only then are we able tologin.

Table: subscribers
username 
char(12)

Example:
Login Name: vcas
Password:vcas+8spaces

Are you putting spaces after the username in the database?

The problem is that the type is char not varchar. Most databases will padd
strings that are less than the size of the column to the column width with
spaces. You will have to use the varchar type in order to avoid this.
