rlm_chap(5)                                   FreeRADIUS Module                                  rlm_chap(5)



NAME
       rlm_chap - FreeRADIUS Module

DESCRIPTION
       The rlm_chap module provides CHAP functionality.

       This  module  validates  a  user  with CHAP authentication.  If called in Authorize, it will look for
       CHAP-Password attribute in the Acess-Request and adds an Auth-Type attribute set to CHAP if the  Con-fig-Items Config-Items
       fig-Items list unless Auth-Type has already set.

       CHAP  authentication  requires  access to the clear-text password for the user.  Standard Unix system
       authentication or passwords encrypted via crypt() are not compatible with CHAP.
