hi,

i am receiving an error on hostap

No message-authenticator attribute found
Incoming radius packet did not have correct message authenticator - droped


here is my scenario,

a computer is equiped with hostap and with a radius server, this radius server acts as a proxy to the home network,

      
freeradius server as radius server
                                    ____________________________
WPA supplicant ---->     | Hostapd + visiting Radius server|    ------------ home radius server
                                    |-----------------------------------------------|
when hostap recievs request for authentication from the WPA supplicant it sends request to the visiting radius server on the computer, visiting radius checks the realm and forwards the request to the Home AAA server. the home radius server checks the realm and sends the challenge as a reply, the visiting radius server recives challenges and forward the request to HOSTAP, hostap receives the packet and then i find this error.  

No message-authenticator attribute found
Incoming radius packet did not have correct message authenticator - droped

if anyone knows the error and where the problem is (hostap or visiting radius server or home radius server)please let me know 


thanking you,
gondi.
