    Hi all.

     

    I'm trying to autenticate users using ClearPass and OpenLDAP. The autentication mode is EAP TTLS + PAP.

    It works fine when the user password hash is cleartext, but if we change to SHA1 or other methods we got the follow authentication error:

    (RADIUS PAP: Configured SHA1 password has incorrect length)

    This link says the EAP TTLS + PAP supports all methods.

    Do you have any tip?

    Thank you

    You need to convert the clear text password to sha format





    Thank you

    Hi Victor.

     

    All users' passwords are in SHA1. We have created a new user with cleartext password for testing.

    The user with password cleartext authentication works, but not for users with password in SHA1 mode or another method.

    The SHA-1 hash is prefixed with {SHA} in the userPassword attribute?

    I'm sorry for delay.

    Yes. It is prefixed with {SHA} in the userPassword attribute.  

    Any other idea ?

     

    Please see the pictures attached.

    That error generally means the password is not stored correctly.

    Thank you Tim

    I checked the option 'Bind User - Allow bind using user password ' at clearpass side, and it worked with SHA1.
