problem with proxy configuration
by Prabhdeep Singh 17 Oct '06

17 Oct '06

Hello, I am having following problem with proxy. In proxy.conf, I have following entries realm myPartnerRealm { type = radius authhost = mypartner.server.com:1812 accthost = mypartner.server.com:1813 secret = mypartnersecret nostrip } realm myCustomRealm { type = radius authhost = localhost:1812 accthost = localhost:1813 secret = mysecret nostrip } realm DEFAULT { type = radius authhost = localhost:1812 accthost = localhost:1813 secret = mysecret } I am able to authenticate against myPartnerRealm and default relam, but when I submit request for "myCustomRealm", the server seems to go in a loop and marks the "myCustomRealm" as dead with the following error. marking authentication server localhost:1812 for realm myCustomRealm dead I also get the following warning message WARNING: Possible DoS attack from host 127.0.0.1: Too many attributes in request (received 201, max 200 are allowed). I read in one of the post that proxying to same server (localhost) is not allowed.... , but i need this feature as I do not want to strip certain Realms. Thanks for your help.

variable escaping ins sql.conf
by Norbert Wegener 17 Oct '06

17 Oct '06

in sql.conf I use something like: usergroup.GroupName like 'v%y' and radius -AX tells me: WARNING: Unknown variable '%y': See 'doc/variables.txt' How would I escape that kind of variable to pass it to the sql query? The usual \ did not work. Thanks Norbert Wegener

Inserting attributes into the check table from Perl?
by Jan Mulders 17 Oct '06

17 Oct '06

Hello all, I've just finished writing a perl program to give a user a different speed of service based on their accounting total for the last month in MySQL, and I'd like to also assign these users an IP based on this usage too. I wanted to do this by setting the Pool-Name check value from my script, after it's figured out what group the user being authenticated falls under. However, apparently the $RAD_CHECK hash is read-only. How do I write to the Check table from perl? Is it possible? Is there a way of invoking ip_pools from perl? thanks, Jan

Re: WPA authentication works only with MacOS clients

Message: 5 Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2006 22:36:14 +0200 From: "Josh Shamir" <josh.shamir(a)gmail.com> Subject: Re: WPA authentication works only with MacOS clients To: "FreeRadius users mailing list" <freeradius-users(a)lists.freeradius.org> Message-ID: <8b3d60af0610161336k20473a1cw4410cbaa6eda17c7(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" "Hi Jason, I want to use PEAP. So I can use PEAP on a WinXP SP2 client without any other supplicant, using his native supplicant. The problem is that with native WinXP supplicant the authentication process failed, and freeradius server give me an error regarding certificates. The strange thing is that with the same certificates, PEAP works fine with MacOSx. Could be a problem of certificates ? I generate certificates with CA.all. Any ideas about how generate certificates that works also with MS WixXP client?" This is a common problem. Windows XP requires that the server and client certificates have specific attributes. This is useful as it prevents a main-in-the-middle attack where an authentic client masquerades as a server with his client cert. You need to use Microsoft's Extended Attributes: [ xpclient_ext] extendedKeyUsage = 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.2 [ xpserver_ext ] extendedKeyUsage = 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1 See http://www.linuxjournal.com/node/8095/print for detailed instructions how to create a server certificate that will work with PEAP and MS clients. The HOWTO is for EAP-TLS which requires client and server certificates. Since you are using PEAP, you just need to create the server certificate. Good luck. In particular you'll want to do: openssl req -new -keyout server_key.pem -out server_req.pem -days 730 -config ./openssl.cnf openssl ca -config ./openssl.cnf \ -policy policy_anything -out server_cert.pem \ -extensions xpserver_ext -extfile ./xpextensions \ -infiles ./server_req.pem You'll now have server_cert.pem (Public Certificate) and server_key.pem (Private Key which has no password). The public certificate will have the Server extended key usage extensions set and now your XP client should authenticate. Jason Wittlin-Cohen P.S: Sorry for the double post. My last message had flowed text making it very difficult to read so I decided to resend it.

Huntgroupname checkitem in LDAP
by Jonathan De Graeve 16 Oct '06

16 Oct '06

Hello, i'm looking for a way to have my huntgroups defined in LDAP similar to the way they are in SQL. For example if a user belongs to Ldap-Group vpn, the Group in ldap contains an attribute containing the huntgroup names which the Group gives access to. I tried adding 'checkItem Huntgroup-Name' info to my ldap.attrmap with attribute 'info' having value: '=~ ^(vpn|sslvpn)$' (without succes) I had success with the following setup: In users: DEFAULT Huntgroup-Name == vpn, Ldap-Group == vpn Fall-Through = no DEFAULT Huntgroup-Name == sslvpn, Ldap-Group == sslvpn Fall-Through = no DEFAULT Auth-Type := Reject This allows to specify which user has access to which nasgroup by adding groupmemberships to the user. But it breaks the users existing in SQL. I could off course also add the specific SQL-Groups into the users file but this would still require a reorganisation of the SQL users since they only have a Huntgroup-Name attribtue for there grouplevel which specifies multiple huntgroups by using regexp. I'm kinda stuck in how to implement it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. J.

Is SecureW2 required also for PEAP? > You are correct. The Windows supplicant on XP SP2 supports PEAP-MSCHAPv2 otherwise known as PEAPv0 and EAP-TLS. If you want to use EAP-TTLS you have a few choices. You can use a commercial supplicant like Funk Odyssey Access Client (30 day free trial here: http://www.juniper.net/customers/support/products/oac.jsp. It's a great supplicant and supports EAP-TTLS, PEAPv0, PEAPv1, EAP-TLS, EAP-SIM, EAP-GTC etc. You also may want to check if your wireless card has its own supplicant that supports TTLS. Most new laptops come with an Intel Centrino chipset and Intel's Proset Wireless supplicant does support TTLS. It's also faster and has more features than the MS supplicant. If these aren't available options, why not just use PEAP-MSCHAPv2? If you're just doing username/password authentication this should work fine. PEAP and TTLS are very similar in nature and PEAP is supported in OS X and in the Windows supplicant. > Thanks for attention > Best Regards, Josh >

block users on-the-fly
by Guilherme Franco 16 Oct '06

16 Oct '06

Hi, Does anyone already have a program to block freeradius on-the-fly? ie: user has PAID = YES in radcheck table. Whenever I set PAID = NO, the user would no longer authenticate the next time he/ she logs in. OK, this works, but, if the user is already loged in, even if I set PAID = NO, the user would not be rejected (for obvious reasons). This is important because the grand number of Router mode ADSL users, that never logs out. I'm building a program to verify every x minutes the database and if PAID = NO, return a flag to freeradius and then reject the user. Is there any other means to do that? Thanks.
