Hi all,

I have GNU Radius v1.1 running on Solaris 2.8 and using pam for 
authentication. The pam authentication module is provided by RSA for use 
in authenticating SecurID tokens.  Under normal circumstances the 
authentication works just fine. However, if the token gets into new pin 
mode or next token mode, user authentication fails. 

I contacted RSA about the problem. RSA provides a program (acetest) which 
tests out the pam modules. Acetest is able to sucessfully authenticate 
users in new pin and next token modes.  Since their program works 
sucessfully, RSA say it's Radius' problem, and will not help.

My config information is below. Can anyone tell if I have done something 
wrong, or is the problem in Radius. If Radius is the problem, can it be 
fixed?

DEFAULT Auth-Type = Pam
        Service-Type = Framed-User,
        Framed-Routing = None,
        Framed-Protocol = PPP,
        Framed-IP-Netmask = 255.255.255.248,
        Framed-Routing = None,
        Ascend-Assign-IP-Pool = 1,
        Ascend-Idle-Limit = 1200

# PAM configuration
#
# Radius modules - gfl
#       auth and account management use the pam_securid.so module.
#       password and session management use the pam_sample.so.1 module.
#       --      pam_sample for password and session are no-op and return 
PAM_SUCCESS
