Additional Authentication Server / predefined <PASSWORD> and International Characters

[Chudel_]

Hello,

I am seeing some odd behavior with the Additional Authentication Server configuration for a user realm.  I have the USER and PASSWORD set to predefined (the backend is a radius server that double-checks the username/password supplied and then makes an outbound phone call for out-of-band authentication).

When user passwords contain non-US characters such as "£" -- the authentication fails.  Is this key seqeunce being escaped by the Juniper SA?

Thanks,

Answering my own question - problem is not with Juniper.  I did a network capture and the decrypted Raidus password is correct.
