(RADIATOR) authbyLDAP with Active Directory

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Larry -

I am guessing that you are using CHAP authentication, which will not work 
with encrypted passwords in the user database. If you use encrypted 
passwords, you must use PAP authentication.

To understand further I will need to see a copy of your configuration file 
(no secrets) together with a trace 4 debug from Radiator.

regards

Hugh
