Username case-sensitivity, detail.auth vs detail: msg#00006

Subject: Username case-sensitivity, detail.auth vs detail

Hi,

we've recently switched to Gnu RADIUS 0.9.6, coming from a rather ancient version of Merit RADIUS (Merit AAA server Version 3.5.6). For the most part things are working fine, but there are a few problems that we haven't been able to solve yet. I've checked the list archives, but haven't found answers there.

With the old server usernames weren't case-sensitive. Apparently some of our users got used to that and are having problems now. We are authenticating via PAM. The PAM modules don't seem to offer a switch though, and I haven't seen anything in the RADIUS documentation, either. If that's the way it is, I guess we can live with that, but if there is a workaround I'd like to know it.

The other problem is that one of our NAS's, a Cisco 3030 VPN Concentrator, produces *only* a detail.auth file but no detail file. All other NAS's have both. I've checked file and directory permissions and all looks fine. The config file looks like this:

option {
max-requests 1024;
# Uncomment and edit these if you need to:
log-dir "/var/log/radius/log";
acct-dir "/var/log/radius/acct";
};

logging {
channel default {
file "radius.log";
print-category yes;
print-level yes;
};
channel debug {
file "radius.debug";
};
category auth {
print-auth yes;
print-failed-pass no;
};
category =debug {
channel debug;
};
category * {
channel default;
};
};

auth {
max-requests 127;
request-cleanup-delay 2;
detail yes;
strip-names yes;
checkrad-assume-logged yes;
};

acct {
max-requests 127;
detail yes;
request-cleanup-delay 2;
};

Any ideas?

Thanks, Sebastian Hagedorn
