font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#3366FF'>Hi -<br>
<br>
I have just started tinkering with Freeradius, I built an Ubuntu 8.10 server
box and installed FR --> sudo apt-get install freeradius*. It installed in a
breeze and tested fine. I have setup a HP420 AP for testing, it's chattering
with the FR box fine (I think).<br>
<br>
I want my wireless clients to do MAC authentication via the FR box. I have
setup my users file to auth two of my test laptops:<br>
<br>
000E35-84610A Auth-Type := Local, User-Password == "esradius"<br>
00215C-08B25D Auth-Type := Local, User-Password == "esradius"<br>
<br>
When either tries to connect up, in the FR debug I see:<br>
<br>
rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 10.10.18.241:2160, id=7, length=53<br>
User-Name =
"00215c-08b25d"<br>
User-Password =
"00215c-08b25d"<br>
Processing the authorize section of radiusd.conf<br>
<br>
The authentication eventually fails:<br>
<br>
rlm_pap: WARNING! No "known good" password found for the user.
Authentication may fail because of this.<br>
<br>
Why is the User-Password the MAC address and not what is specified in the users
file? I have only tweaked the users and clients.conf files.<br>
<br>
Just simple MAC authentication, that's all I want at this point.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance!<br>
<br>
- Steve<br>
