Hello Sergei -

Have a look at the FAQ:

	http://www.open.com.au/radiator/faq.html#6

There has also been lots of discussion on the mailing list:

	www.open.com.au/archives/radiator

Check the Cisco web site for details:

	www.cisco.com

You will need to use the rcrypt utility (found in the "goodies"  
directory) to generate the rcrypt passwords.

perl rcrypt -h
usage: rcrypt [-h] [-e] [-k key] plaintext/crypt
         encrypting: rcrypt -k key -e plaintext
         decrypting: rcrypt -k key crypttext

The RcryptKey parameter must be included in the AuthBy clause:

	<AuthBy FILE>
		RcryptKey somestring
		.....
	</AuthBy>

See section 6.18.21 in the Radiator 3.13 reference manual ("doc/ 
ref.html").

regards

Hugh

NB:

Have you read the reference manual ("doc/ref.html")?
Have you searched the mailing list archive (www.open.com.au/archives/ 
radiator)?
Have you had a quick look on Google (www.google.com)?
Have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
