(RADIATOR) Reference Manual, AuthLDAP, some small suggestions

[Karl Gaissmaier]

Dear Hugh or Mike,

the following section should be clarified:

CURRENT:
6.35.9 PasswordAttr

   This is the name of the LDAP attribute that contains the password for the
user. The
   password may be in any of the formats supported by User-Password as
described in Section
   13.1.1 . Most LDAP servers will only have a plaintext password if they are
secured in
   another way, and probably not even then. You must specify either
PasswordAttr or
   EncryptedPasswordAttr. There is no default.
   ....

FUTURE:
6.35.9 PasswordAttr

   This is the name of the LDAP attribute that contains the password for the
user. The
   password may be in any of the formats supported by User-Password as
described in Section
   13.1.1 . Most LDAP servers will only have a plaintext password if they are
secured in
   another way, and probably not even then. You must specify either
PasswordAttr or
   EncryptedPasswordAttr. There is no default.
>>>If there is no password to be checked (e.g. Wireless MAC Adresses) you should
   specify PasswordAttr without a value, elsewhere you get a warning.<<<<
   ....


Reason: Our Orinoco Wireless Accesspoints uses Radius to authenticate
allowed WLAN Clients by MAC Adresses. There is no useful Password check-item
to store with the MAC adresses in the LDAP directory.

Regards
	Charly

P.S. Please rewrite my suggestion in proper english :-(
