[Help-gnu-radius] another list of questions

[Toni Milovan]

Hi again,

 

Ok, I have finaly succesfully compiled and tested radius. I have formed groups and users. Authentication works (with radtest and telnet thru NAS) as I want it and  I undrestand that part.

 

Now I am to play with different configurations.

 

First thing that confuses me is why I can't test with radtest when I have for source-ip specified my real IP address (I get authentication failed) and I can see from log files that radius do not query mysql server. If I'm going through the NAS (using telnet) I can log in without problems.

 

Second thing is: I have read somewhere on the web that when you are loging thru CHAP you have to had your user password in plain text. Is that correct?

I had tried to log from win98 workstation using CHAP and PPP but was refused with check you passwords message. In detail.auth file I can see the attribute CHAP-Password crypted. And in my radius.log file I get following line:

 

Jul 19 15:52:15: Auth: Login incorrect: [test/]: CLID unknown (from nas dial)

 

Is there anything more to be configured to use CHAP authentication?

 

Ok, that's it for now. Maybe I'll be back later with more questions :(

 

thanks
