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 Access-Request and adds an Auth-Type attribute set to CHAP if the  Config-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.
