Hi,
I am using DMA Radius manager v4.3.1 as accounting system. one feature I’ve been using normally is the Dynamic data rates. in order to change account bandwidth the Radius manager access the router board through API and change something. the feature was up and running until I upgraded the router board from 6.44.3 to the latest version (6.45.1 and 6.45.2). after the upgrade the Radius was not able to access the router board and only giving this message in log “Login failure for user Radius from … via api.”
any help regarding this issue?
I have got in touch with DMA support team and that’s what they said:" please contact the Mikrotik support. It is their bug."
so now I am confused.
one thing to be mentioned that in earlier conversation they said: “have been checking up on the problem and according to Mikrotik’s Forum ( https://github.com/socialwifi/RouterOS-api/issues/29 ) this problem should
have been solved and the old method for login should be working again as of
version 6.43RC32.”
6.43 and 6.44 supported both old and new style API logins as RouterOS had reversibly encrypted (old as used prior to 6.43) and hashed (new as using since 6.43) passwords stored.
Yes, there was an issue with allowing both style logins which was fixed before the 6.43 stable release, but as of 6.45 the old reversibly encrypted passwords have been removed so the old style API login will no longer work - this is not a Mikrotik bug, they announced14 months ago that old style API logins would be removed at some point.
