rlm_chap(5)							 FreeRADIUS Module						       rlm_chap(5)

NAME
rlm_chap - FreeRADIUS Module DESCRIPTION
The rlm_chap module provides CHAP functionality. This module validates a user with CHAP authentication. If called in Authorize, it will look for CHAP-Password attribute in the Acess- Request and adds an Auth-Type attribute set to CHAP if the Config-Items list unless Auth-Type has already set. CHAP authentication requires access to the clear-text password for the user. Standard Unix system authentication or passwords encrypted via crypt() are not compatible with CHAP. SECTIONS

rlm_mschap(5)							 FreeRADIUS Module						     rlm_mschap(5)

NAME
rlm_mschap - FreeRADIUS Module DESCRIPTION
The rlm_mschap module provides MS-CHAP and MS-CHAPv2 authentication support. This module validates a user with MS-CHAP or MS-CHAPv2 authentication. If called in Authorize, it will look for MS-CHAP Challenge/Response attributes in the Acess-Request and adds an Auth-Type attribute set to MS-CHAP in the Config-Items list unless Auth-Type has already set. The module can authenticate the MS-CHAP session via plain-text passwords (User-Password attribute), or NT passwords (NT-Password attribute). The module cannot perform authentication against an NT domain. The module also enforces the SMB-Account-Ctrl attribute. See the Samba documentation for the meaning of SMB account control. The module does not read Samba password files. Instead, the fIrlm_passwd module can be used to read a Samba password file, and supply an NT-Password attribute which this module can use. The main configuration items to be aware of are: authtype This is the string used to set the authtype. Normally it should be left to the default value of MS-CHAP. use_mppe Unless this is set to 'no', FreeRADIUS will add MS-CHAP-MPPE-Keys for MS-CHAPv1 and MS-MPPE-Recv-Key/MS-MPPE-Send-Key for MS-CHAPv2. The default is 'yes'. require_encryption If MPPE is enabled, setting this attribute to 'yes' will cause the MS-MPPE-Encryption-Policy attribute to be set to require encryp- tion. The default is 'no'. require_strong If MPPE is enabled, setting this attribute to 'yes' will cause the MS-MPPE-Encryption-Types attribute to be set to require a 128 bit key. The default is 'no'. with_ntdomain_hack Windows clients send User-Name in the form of "DOMAINUser", but send the challenge/response based only on the User portion. Set- ting this value to yes, enables a work-around for this error. The default is 'no'. CONFIGURATION
