Wireless radius server auth problem

Hello,

new to this boards. I have problem that couldn’t find answer for. I was configuring wireless network with security profile that used RADIUS for authentication. Everything was setup perfectly but when I configured RADIUS server over “New Radius Server” window and I have copy/pasted previously used PSK I had problem with that security profile. Turned out whenever I tried to paste PSK over “window” it added extra "\" characters in to PSK. When I copy/pasted whole command over terminal, PSK was correctly entered. Is this known bug or?

setup radius corectly…

I mean, it works, but as I said, problem is that “window configuration” adds extra “\\” characters to radius PSK. When I paste configuration (PSK) to terminal, it paste-s fine…

Ok, it is maybe redundant to answer to myself but if someone else has similar problem "" character is used to note “new line” in mikrotik shell so seems it adds additional \\ characters in terminal when there is "" in radius PSK.

Maybe it would be better not to use it if not needed :slight_smile:

It might be also because the windows notepad is using different character set and adds the extra invisible characters in when you copy and paste into a terminal window. You can use different notepad like notpad++ for windows which is free.

Definitely recommend Notepad ++, using it myself, also has nice feature it can add mikrotik syntax to itself so it nicely “color codes” mikrotik commands…
