FreeRadius rejecting with ERROR: Cleartext password does not match "known good" pa

[PKJohns]

Hi,

I am trying to configure Freeradius with my ongoing project for Authentication, and It seems being rejected always with a bad password.

I have checked all my config, and all looks ok.

Feb 22 17:26:28 vga679yr radiusd[497648]: (7) WARNING: Unprintable characters in the password. Double-check the shared secret on the server and the NAS!

In the Authorise file, I have 

test Cleartext-Password := "radiussecret1"
Service-Type = Framed-User,
Framed-Protocol = PPP

In client.conf I have set it as the correct secret

#radius fe
client radfe_ipv4 {
        ipaddr  = 47.73.0.36
        secret  = radiussecret1
}

In the default file, I have also commented below the line

#       filter_password

I don't know how Freeradius prints the encrypted password, but it looks like this.

User-Password = "\024*×·Ã\256\355\341\255\346$ "

Please help if someone has any ideas. Maybe we need to modify PDUs accordingly to pass the desired encrypted password.

I appreciate any help you can provide.

Is the auth attempt being sent via a VDX?  I am not sure if you have the correct forum.
