This is not really the issue. The problem is that the secret you have
specified for the MAX in the clients file is NOT the same as the
secret you set in the MAX itself. RADIUS uses key encryption
to encrypt and decrypt the passwords. If the keys (secret) are
not the same, it simply will not work.

RadiusNT 2.2 is not available yet.
