3.41.5. EncryptedPassword Previous topic Parent topic Child topic Next topic

This parameter should be set if and only if your AuthSelect statement will return a bare Unix encrypted password, and you are not using AuthColumnDef. Encrypted passwords cannot be used with CHAP or MSCHAP authentication. If the encrypted password column for a user is NULL in the database, then any password will be accepted for that user. If the encrypted password column for a user is set to the empty string (as opposed to NULL), then no password will be accepted for that user.
EncryptedPassword is a hint to Radiator about how to deal with passwords that have no explicit password type prefix. If EncryptedPassword is not set, bare passwords (i.e. without a prefix) are treated as plaintext passwords. If EncryptedPassword is set, they are treated as a Unix crypt password. If a password has a prefix, then the password will be interpreted according to that type of password, independent of the setting of EncryptedPassword. For more information, see Section 7.1.1. User-Password, Password.
Note
This parameter is ignored if you have defined your own AuthSelect column definitions with AuthColumnDef.
