Router User via radius server

RouterOS The User Manager
1

Hi all.
I’m trying to use router user authentication and accounting via freeradius server.
However, I ain’t using cleartext passwords in my radius.radcheck table. Instead, I’m using Crypt-Password and my Auth-Type attribute is Crypt-Local.
So, after enabling radius in the “/user aaa” section, I’m getting this kind of error message:

Sat Nov 27 07:31:48 2010 : Auth: Login incorrect: [andre/<CHAP-Password>] (from client DUDE_Monitor port 0 cli 187.118.123.32)

The content of my radius.radcheck table is shown as follows:

	id	UserName	       Attribute                                  	Value	                                op
	3	andre	       Crypt-Password	                           $1$LBqMRXld$0PH8SvPub2F7P0nbC6eja1	          ==

This is what my “/user aaa” section looks like:

[admin@MikroTik] user aaa> print
        use-radius: yes
        accounting: yes
    interim-update: 5m
     default-group: full

Also, that error message only shows in the freeradius’ log when users try to authenticate on the router.

Should I use plain-text passwords because of the CHAP protocol or is there any ‘workaround’ for this kind of situation?
Any help?
Thanks in advance!

Have you started FreeRADIUS in debug mode? In my OS from a shell logged in as root, it is

radiusd stop
radiusd -X

Then try the login again and see what is happening during the transaction.
When you are finished and exit debug mode, you can restart radius.

radiusd start

And I use plain text passwords. “ClearText-Password” or “User-Password”, depending on version of FreeRADIUS.
