There's no option to copy the users password(base64-md5 encrypted) from PIX to FREERADIUS, and tell to PIX find them encrypted, not clear text? or a kind of base64-md5 converter to PAP, MSCHAP or anything else to store on FREERADIUS??<br />
<br />
Thanks a lot.

If you convert the base64 entries in the PIX configuration to MD5 hashes, you should be able to store those in the database and have FreeRADIUS work against them directly. &nbsp;I haven't tested it, but it's worth a try.

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.

Linux Networking

Encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. In an encryption scheme, the intended communication information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients, but not to unauthorized interceptors.
