(RADIATOR) Bad authenticator

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Guido -

This is normally due to an incorrect shared secret, however if the  
authentication is working correctly it is more likely to be incorrect  
authenticators for accounting generated by the NAS. You can use  
"ignoreAcctSignature" in the Client clause(s) to suppress the message  
and process the accounting requests.

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?
