Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Andy Clark 2013-09-26 12:18:14 UTC
Description of problem:
I have i problem with MD5 hashes on my RHEL 6.4 server.
Some of hashes, which i have created cannot match. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# cat /etc/redhat-release 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation release 6.4 (Santiago)
# uname -a
Linux nms-axn 2.6.32-358.6.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 14 15:48:21 EDT 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
# rpm -qa | grep freeradius
freeradius-utils-2.1.12-4.el6_3.x86_64
freeradius-2.1.12-4.el6_3.x86_64
#


How reproducible:
create couple md5hash for some test account and try it with radtest utility 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create md5 hash:
# echo "XZ4uaMt6" | md5sum | cut -f1 -d' '
3e9a59f0546a3c378beb0998f5873251
#
2. create user in the configuration file:
testuser           MD5-Password := "3e9a59f0546a3c378beb0998f5873251"
                   Service-Type = "Authenticate-Only",
                   Login-LAT-Group = "config"

3. restart radius server:
# service radiusd restart
Stopping radiusd:                                          [  OK  ]
Starting radiusd:                                          [  OK  ]
#

4. try our password
# radtest -t pap -x testuser XZ4uaMt6 10.0.9.30:1812 0 7RljN1k4
Sending Access-Request of id 87 to 10.0.9.30 port 1812
	User-Name = "testuser"
	User-Password = "XZ4uaMt6"
	NAS-IP-Address = 10.0.9.30
	NAS-Port = 0
	Message-Authenticator = 0x00000000000000000000000000000000
rad_recv: Access-Reject packet from host 10.0.9.30 port 1812, id=87, length=20
#

5. change our password:
# echo "test1234" | md5sum | cut -f1 -d' '
eddc02b200ae8a15a7e6b44ac05bf5f1
#

6. redefine password for our "testuser" account 
testuser	   MD5-Password := "eddc02b200ae8a15a7e6b44ac05bf5f1"
                   Service-Type = "Authenticate-Only",
                   Login-LAT-Group = "config"

7. restart radius service:
# service radiusd restart
Stopping radiusd:                                          [  OK  ]
Starting radiusd:                                          [  OK  ]
#

8. let's  try to do another attempt:
# radtest -t pap -x testuser test1234 10.0.9.30:1812 0 7RljN1k4
Sending Access-Request of id 251 to 10.0.9.30 port 1812
	User-Name = "testuser"
	User-Password = "test1234"
	NAS-IP-Address = 10.0.9.30
	NAS-Port = 0
	Message-Authenticator = 0x00000000000000000000000000000000
rad_recv: Access-Accept packet from host 10.0.9.30 port 1812, id=251, length=34
	Service-Type = Authenticate-Only
	Login-LAT-Group = 0x636f6e666967
#

Actual results:
Sometimes hashes don't match.

Expected results:
Hashes must has always match.

Comment 3 Dmitri Pal 2014-12-12 14:50:35 UTC
Does not seem to be an actual bug. It more like a wrong expectation of how things work.

Comment 4 Andy Clark 2014-12-12 15:54:39 UTC
It is not a wrong expectations. In case mentioned before
echo command should be called with -n option.
