Thanks for your reply.
Let me use an example to illustrate what I met.
my username and passwd are user1 and 1234:
I've tried the following configurations
fixed_login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
============================
client_send =: user1 : 1234\:
client_send =: user1 : 1234\\:
client_send =: user1 : 1234\\\\:
client_send =": user1 : 1234\:"
client_send =": user1 : 1234\\:"
client_send =": user1 : 1234\\\:"
client_send =": user1 : 1234\\\\:"
client_send =: user1 : "1234\:"
client_send =: user1 : "1234\\:"
client_send =: user1 : "1234\\\:"
client_send =: user1 : "1234\\\\:"
all failed when authenticating.
Please give me some advice. Thanks again.
Latrell.
