Re: [Help-gnu-radius] User-Password character

[Tomoyasu Maitani]

I am sorry for asking you many times, but I have one more question.

I could confirm that Radauth recognize the password which is included
"=", "!" and "$" characters.
But only one case, the first letter is "=" of password, is still failed.

//users file//
test    Auth-Type = Local,
                User-Password = "=test=123!"
        Service-Type = Framed-User,
                Framed-Protocol = PPP

# ./radauth -v test
Password:  <---  =test=123!
radtest: debug: client.c:247:grad_client_send0: sending Access-Request
radtest: debug: server 127.0.0.1:1645
radtest: debug: send: User-Name = (STRING) test
radtest: debug: send: NAS-IP-Address = (IPADDR) 127.0.0.1
radtest: debug: send: User-Password = (STRING) 
\165\070\001\232\155\331\214\240\211\325\130\266\270\162\347\200

radtest: debug: recv: Reply-Message = (STRING) \015\012Access denied\015\012
Authentication failed.
Access denied

# ./radauth -v test
Password:  <---  test=123!
radtest: debug: client.c:247:grad_client_send0: sending Access-Request

radtest: debug: recv: Service-Type = (INTEGER) Framed-User
radtest: debug: recv: Framed-Protocol = (INTEGER) PPP
Authentication passed.

//radius.log//
Aug 19 13:51:21 Auth.notice: (Access-Request local 133 "test"): Login incorrect 
[test/=test=123!]
Aug 19 13:52:22 Auth.notice: (Access-Request local 134 "test"): Login OK [test]

I typed password "test=123!" as a test, then it was passed. Therefore
Radius programme seems to ignore the first "=" letter of Password even
if Radtest send a password characters correctly.

Best regards,

Tomoyasu Maitani
