I'm using an SQL database of accounts for FreeRADIUS to authenticate against. I'm managing these accounts using the default Dialup Admin interface. I have created a test user - testing123 and given it a password. However, I cannot successfully authenticate the account using client request.

Here's the extended debug output of my authentication request from running the freeradius daemon with the -X flag:

I can see problems seem to occur during the CHAP authentication stage but I can't quite understand what the problem is, given the fact that the password provided is, I am sure, correct and has been set by the Dialup Admin utility. Perhaps I am missing some additional configuration/passwords are not being saved or authenticated using the right format?

Any help is much appreciated!

It seems that you are using CHAP authentication. CHAP authentication can not be used with encrypted passwords.

Have a look at: http://wiki.freeradius.org/index.php/FAQ#PAP_authentication_works_but_CHAP_fails

  • I changed the configuration of Dialup Admin to just store the passwords as cleartext for now and that worked. I'll look to making both use CHAP in the future. – Joe Oct 28 '10 at 10:06
