(RADIATOR) Tunnel-Password

Hello Jeroen -

You should use the following in the AuthBy RADIUS clause (from the 
manual "doc/ref.html"):

  6.29.31 ClearTextTunnelPassword

  This optional paramter prevents Radiator decrypting and reencrypting 
Tunnel-Password attributes in replies during proxying. This is provided 
in order to support older NASs that do not support encrypted 
Tunnel-Password.

regards

Hugh

NB: have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
