Need sample config file for EAP-MD5 authentication
Greetings, I am new to FreeRADIUS and trying to set it up with HostAp and xsupplicant. I have gotten all three components compiled and running. The HostAp and FreeRADIUS are running on Linux box whereas xsupplicant is cross-compiled for an ARM processor and running on an embedded machine but is on the network. The FreeRADIUS and HostAP are talking to each other after when I had the same secret set in clients.conf and wired.conf files in FreeRADIUS and HostAP configuration files respectively. I have xsupplicant trying to authenticate itself and I see it talking to HostAP but since I don't have it configured right, the FreeRADIUS rejects the authentication for this client. I am on a wired network so MD5 type authentication will suffice. I just cannot figure out how to configure the eap.conf file in FreeRADIUS, or syntax where I can provide the user name and password for the client. Can someone help me out with a sample file ? It is a very simple configuration but I couldn't find it on Google search. Thanks in advance, Mike

The FAQ describes what to do when "it doesn't work". Read it.

Mr. Alan, You are jumping to conclusions without any reason. There is nothing wrong with me sending you a private email especially when I wouldn't know if you are on this list or . If you think it is rude then it is only your thought. Calm down and try not to be so picky. Now regarding FAQ, it only covers EAP-TLS. Read it and find out for yourself. ________________________________ From: freeradius-devel-bounces+atif.ikram=jdsu.com@lists.freeradius.org on behalf of Alan DeKok Sent: Thu 8/24/2006 2:04 PM To: FreeRadius developers mailing list Subject: Re: Need sample config file for EAP-MD5 authentication "Atif Ikram" <Atif.Ikram@jdsu.com> wrote: ...

Alan, All I can say is you are an idiot and certainly there is something wrong with you. I advise you consult with some Psychiatrist and don't reply to my emails again. I can always go somewhere else even if I have to pay for it. ________________________________ From: freeradius-devel-bounces+atif.ikram=jdsu.com@lists.freeradius.org on behalf of Alan DeKok Sent: Thu 8/24/2006 9:53 PM To: FreeRadius developers mailing list Subject: Re: Need sample config file for EAP-MD5 authentication "Atif Ikram" <Atif.Ikram@jdsu.com> wrote:

Atif You have broken several of the rules of open source software: 1) Do not mail software authors directly with configuration questions if there is a mailing list setup for that purpose. 2) Do not mail a development mailing list with configuration questions if there is an end user mailing list. 3) Do your homework (read the documentation, FAQ and google) before asking questions. 4) Do not insult open source developers, most of whom are very busy with their days jobs and answer YOUR questions and write code in their spare time! Please consider yourself no longer welcome on this list. Have a nice day -- Peter Nixon http://www.peternixon.net/ PGP Key: http://www.peternixon.net/public.asc
