+rlm_mschap
+==========
+
+The mschap module provides support for MS-CHAPv1 and MS-CHAPv2, which is
+a common authentication mechanisms for Microsoft clients.
+
+If you want to support mschap, there are only 3 possibilities:
+
+ 1. You have access to the users plaintext password, and you configure
+    FreeRADIUS to read this, and set the Cleartext-Password control attribute.
+
+ 2. You have access to the NT (MS-CHAPv2) or LM (MS-CHAPv1) hashes,
+    and you configure FreeRADIUS to read this and set the NT/LM-Password
+    control attribute.
+
+ 3. You have Samba installed, joined into a windows domain, and use
+    the ntlm_auth helper binary to pass authentication onwards to
+    a domain controller.
+
+These are the ONLY possibilities; MS-CHAP is IMPOSSIBLE if you e.g. only
+have the unix/md5/sha crypt of your users password.
+
+For more info, see:

+
+EAP-MSCHAPv2
+============
+
+The EAP module provides MS-CHAPv2 support as well. It simply passes the
+data through to the mschap module, so you must configure mschap properly.
+
+ntlm_auth
+=========
+
+Method 3 above involves configuring the mschap module to call the Samba
+ntlm_auth helper:
+
+::
+
+  mschap {
+    ntlm_auth = "/path/to/bin ..."
+  }
+
+You need to be careful about setting this command line. There are several
+options for the arguments, in particular username and domain:
+
+ * --username=%{User-Name} - this will fail if you're using realms or host-based auth
+ * --username=%{mschap:User-Name} - this will fail if using using suffix i.e. user@domain
+
+You'll need to fit this to your local needs.
+
+Disabling ntlm_auth for some users
+----------------------------------
+
+You might have some users in the domain, and others in files or SQL that you
+want to authenticate locally. To do this, set::
+
+ MS-CHAP-Use-NTLM-Auth := 0
+
+This will disable ntlm_auth for that user/group. This is also obeyed
+for password changes (see below).
+
+Password changes
+================
+
+From FreeRADIUS version 3.0.0 the mschap module supports password changes.
+
+There are two options, ntlm_auth and local.
+
+ntlm_auth
+---------
+
+If you are using ntlm_auth to check passwords, you must also use
+ntlm_auth to change passwords. In modules/mschap you should configure::
+
+  mschap {
+    ntlm_auth = "...."
+    passchange {
+
+      # path to the binary
+      ntlm_auth = "/path/to/ntlm_auth --helper-protocol=ntlm-change-password-1"
+
+      # initial data to send
+      # this MUST be supplied
+      ntlm_auth_username = "username: %{mschap:User-Name}"
+      ntlm_auth_domain = "nt-domain: %{%{mschap:NT-Domain}:-YOURDOMAIN}"
+
+      # Or, you could try:
+      ntlm_auth_username = "full-username: %{User-Name}"
+      # ntlm_auth_domain - disabled
+
+    }
+
+
+If you are using ntlm_auth, then domain controllers might say
+"Password expired" if the user password is valid but has expired; the
+mschap module will detect this and return error 648 to the client,
+instructing it to try a password change.
+
+Note: if you have disabled ntlm_auth for a user/group, this will apply
+for password changes too - they will fall through to using the Local
+method.
+
+Local
+-----
+
+If you are performing mschap locally with Cleartext-Password/NT-Password, you
+can decrypt and process the password change locally. To do this, you configure
+the "local_cpw" string::
+
+  mschap {
+    passchange {
+      local_cpw = "%{xlat:...}
+    }
+  }
+
+To actually force a client to change passwords, you must set the expiry bit
+in the SMB-Account-Ctrl value - for example::
+
+  update control {
+    # U == user
+    # e == expired
+    SMB-Account-Ctrl-Text := '[Ue]'
+  }
+
+This will cause the client to receive "error 648 - password
+expired". Obviously you will need to ensure your local_cpw xlat clears
+this value, or else the client password will be expired the next time
+they log in. For example, you might use an SQL stored procedure to
+change passwords::
+
+  mschap {
+    passchange {
+      local_cpw = "%{sql:select change_password('%{SQL-User-Name}','%{MS-CHAP-New-NT-Password}')}"
+    }
+  }
+
+...and an example stored procedure for Postgres might be::
+
+  CREATE FUNCTION change_password(raduser text, ntpassword text) RETURNS text
+      LANGUAGE plpgsql
+      AS $$
+  BEGIN
+          update radcheck set value=ntpassword where username=raduser and attribute='NT-Password';
+          if not FOUND then
+                  -- the user does not exist; die
+                  return '';
+          end if;
+          update radcheck set value=replace(value,'e','') where username=raduser and attribute='SMB-Account-Ctrl-Text' and value like '%e%';
+          return 'ok';
+  END;
+  $$;
+
+
+The local_cpw xlat has access to two variables:
+
+ * MS-CHAP-New-NT-Password        - the new value of NT-Password
+ * MS-CHAP-New-Cleartext-PAssword - the new value of Cleartext-Password
+
+This allows you to do things like::
+
+  # update via SQL
+  local_cpw = "%{sql:update radcheck set value='%{MS-CHAP-New-NT-Password}' where username='%{SQL-User-Name} and attribute='NT-Password'}"
+
+Or::
+
+  # update via exec/script
+  local_cpw = "%{exec:/my/script %{User-Name} %{MS-CHAP-New-Cleartext-Password}}"
+
+WARNING - wherever possible, you should use
+MS-CHAP-New-NT-Password. The reason is that cleartext passwords have
+undergone unicode transformation from the client encoding (utf-16) to
+the server encoding (utf-8) and the current code does this in a very
+ad-hoc way. The reverse transformation is also not done - when the
+server reads Cleartext-Password out of files/database, it assumes
+US-ASCII and thus international characters will fail.
+
+N.B. this could be fixed, if we wanted to pull in something like iconv.
+
+In addition, you should beware of Cleartext-Password when using SQL;
+any password character not in safe_characters will be encoded as a hex
+number, e.g. =20.
+
+Password changes over EAP
+=========================
+
+You must set the following in eap.conf::
+
+ eap {
+   mschapv2 {
+     send_error = yes
+   }
+ }
+
+Otherwise password changes for PEAP/MSCHAPv2 will not work.
