Unable to authorize on FreeRADIUS

I have installed FreeRADIUS2 from tarball and added a new user in raddb/users as 

_aboli Cleartext-Password := "safarnama"_

But when I try to authorize, I get following error:

rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 192.168.9.128 port 60663, id=191, length=51  
    User-Name = 'aboli'  
    User-Password = 'safarnama'  
    NAS-Port = 0  
(0) WARNING: Empty authorize section.  Using default return values.
(0) ERROR: No Auth-Type found: rejecting the user via Post-Auth-Type = Reject
(0) Failed to authenticate the user. 
(0) Using Post-Auth-Type Reject  
(0) WARNING: Unknown value specified for Post-Auth-Type.  Cannot perform requested action.

The message WARNING: Empty authorize section. Using default return values. means that you've got nothing in the authorize{} section of your virtual server config (most likely /etc/raddb/sites-enabled/default or possibly /etc/raddb/radiusd.conf if you've been editing that).

Verify that you've installed FreeRADIUS correctly with the full configuration. This is the most basic configuration, so after a new install then all you should need to do is edit the users file as you have done above, then try running radtest from the local machine to make sure it works. Once you've done that and it works then add an entry into clients.conf and move to testing over the network from another machine.

These days you should be using FreeRADIUS version 3. Version 2 is end-of-life.
