(RADIATOR) Novell eDirectory Universal Password support

[Mike McCauley]

We are pleased to announce the addition to Radiator of support for Novell 
eDirectory Universal Passwords.

Novell eDirectory is a widely use LDAP based directory service, often used to 
manage users and passwords for large Windows and Unix systems. It runs on 
Windows, Linux, Solaris and HPUX.

Novell eDirectory now supports Universal Password, a mechanism for using the a 
single password for each user to authenticate access many different services 
on Windows and Unix.

Recent patches to Radiator include the option to fetch the Universal Password 
from eDirectory for each user, and use that to authenticate PAP, CHAP, 
MSCHAP, MSCHAP, MSCHAPV2, EAP-TLS, EAP_TTLS-*, PEAP, EAP_MSCHAP, EAP-MD5, 
LEAP etc.

Included are sample configuration files, including a configuration that will 
work with all the EAP methods mentioned above. Also included are detailed 
instructions for installing and configuring eDirectory 8.7.3 on Linux and 
interoperating with Radiator.

The patches are included in the latest Radiator 3.11 patch set.

Feedback and comments to me please.
