AW: (RADIATOR) AuthBy External und CHAP

[Burkhard Bartelt]

Hello Hugh,

we use an API in our external modul to access a SQL-Server Database. The
passwords are encrypted in this DB. But we have to put a cleartext password
as input to this API (a dll). The API handles the decryption of the
cleartext password. I think, the authgeneric.pm handles the encryption of a
CHAP password. But is does not work and no error occurs in the logfiles
trace level 4.

How can we configure, that RADIATOR only accept PAP Athentication?

Thanks
Burkhard.
