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 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.
