I am looking into using either rlm_perl or (preferably) rlm_jradius to be able to write my own piece to do authentication. I believe this is possible with either module (please correct me if I’m wrong on that, it would stop me in my tracks). What I need to know is if when writing my own authenticator there is a terribly complicated process of requests and responses that I have to honor in order to make the supplicant happy, or if I can trivially accept or reject based on the parameters of my business problem. As a test case, I wrote a Java class for rlm_jradius that just replaced reject packets with accept packets, to see if it would work. I found that if I hooked into it at the ‘post_auth’ stage it didn’t matter what my reply was, freeRadius remembered that auth had failed and stripped all the attributes from the response packet.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>That was long winded, here is a summary of my questions. Can I write my own piece to do authentication? Where in the freeRadius process do I list that listener? Is there a series of requests and responses that I have to honor?<span style='font-size:10.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>-Travis<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
