Accounting : server and port 1813
by Bruno Costacurta 12 Nov '06

12 Nov '06

Hello, I already had a working Freeradius configuration and intend now to install accounting. As far I undestand accounting is a server using port 1813 (as a default value). But where is this value setup on the client ? (ie. 1812 port for autorization is setup and used on the NAS) More generally is there any good doc or sample about accounting configuration or best practices ? Thanks. Bye, Bruno -- Register Linux User 353844 http://counter.li.org/ --

RE: sync hungroups, clients files, users across multiple servers

That is exactly what I want to do! I just started using subversion with RANCID and am not very knowledgeable about svn. How can I get a 'diff' spread around like that? I am thinking about what you have said and it could be completely wrong, 1. A change is commited on a watched file like 'huntgroups.' 2. A local script diffs it against a remote subversion repo copy (or a local copy?) via a cron job 3. The diff gets checked in to svn. 4. The scripts on the other RADIUS servers then notice the diff in the repo copy and apply it to their own files? Sounds like I need to build up my script writing skills...

How to handle EAP/LDAP or files with same server
by Keith Moores 10 Nov '06

10 Nov '06

I'm trying to finally rid myself of Cisco ACS with FR 1.1.3 and mostly having great success (performance is so much better!) but can't seem to figure out how to handle two different types of wireless authentication in separate non-overlapping ways. Case 1 is EAP/TLS where user ID (email address from cleint cert) is also looked up via LDAP. Case 2 is MAC authentication using the users file. I have both of these working with one issuse, MACs that are not in the users file are being sent to LDAP server adding unnecessary load. authorize { preprocess files ldap { notfound = return } eap } The solution I can think of is to only send user name's that are email addresses to ldap. Is this something that can be done with a proxy conf and realms? I'm having trouble understanding if/how those can influence the authorize section.

limiting sessions
by Andrew Long 10 Nov '06

10 Nov '06

I need to boot users at one property after a specified time period. We have adjusted the "max-daily-session" to "1800" (30 minutes), but users still seem to be staying on. Can someone point me in the right direction. The NAS is a Colubris cn3000. The other attribute we have that may apply is "max-acct-age". I am pretty new to this, so any detail is most appreciated. -- Regards, Andrew Long EscapeWire Solutions, LLC 617 Dingens Street Buffalo, NY 14206 Office: (716) 893-4984 Mobile: (716) 830-5169 Fax: (716) 891-4288 Web: http://www.escapewire.com E-mail: along(a)escapewire.com

Discarding new rquests and CPU eats 99.9%
by Cihan DEMİR 10 Nov '06

10 Nov '06

Hi all, We're using 0.9.3 version on RedHat. I start radius in normal mode then it start to eat 99.9% of CPU and produce error messages : ..... Thu Nov 9 14:52:16 2006 : Error: Discarding new request from client turkcell:4166 - ID: 14 due to live request 26387 Thu Nov 9 14:52:16 2006 : Error: Discarding new request from client turkcell:4166 - ID: 55 due to live request 26386 ..... But, when i start in debug mode with -X parameter, it doesn't eat 99.9% of CPU and runs normally. Any comment? Thanks in advance.

sync hungroups, clients files, users across multiple servers
by Charles Tompkins 10 Nov '06

10 Nov '06

Greets! What is a good way or considered best practice for folks to sync changes to critical files in use by radius like huntgroups and clients.conf and users across multiple RADIUS servers. I am not using MySQL backend, but rather relaying requests for auth off to PAM which checks against a samba/NT-Domain, thus the user account existing locally on the server. With several servers it becomes a PIA and can lead to misconfiguration errors due to human data entry when you have to enter everything into each server. Does anyone want to share a script they have written to do this? Thanks! -Charles ------------ Master timed out! Holding election... I am declaring myself the master!

Reject reason
by Jørn Kostøl Gundersen 10 Nov '06

10 Nov '06

I am authenticating users based on Calling-Station-Id in addition to password. All accepts and rejects are logged to the postauth table in my database. But I cannot see why the user got rejected, if it was wrong Calling-Station-Id or wrong password. Any ideas? Cheers, Jørn

FreeRadius 1.1.3 and PHPMyPrepaid
by Michelle Manning 10 Nov '06

10 Nov '06

I was wondering if anyone has worked the two of these together happily? I've managed to get Radius configured and running (Thanks guys!). But I can't login with a phpmyprepaid user - If I create my own user (very simplistic) it works, with no worries, otherwise the user is rejected because of a value in the database. Here is an example of the database records. radcheck is the table. The create table statement is as follows: CREATE TABLE `radcheck` ( `id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, `UserName` varchar(64) NOT NULL default '', `FirstName` varchar(40) NOT NULL default '', `LastName` varchar(40) NOT NULL default '', `CustID` varchar(5) NOT NULL default '', `Attribute` varchar(32) NOT NULL default '', `op` char(2) NOT NULL default '==', `Value` varchar(253) NOT NULL default '', `CrDate` timestamp NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00', `creator` varchar(20) default 'NULL', `Location` smallint(4) default '0', `activated` smallint(4) NOT NULL default '0', `activeDate` timestamp NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00', `status` smallint(4) NOT NULL default '0', `rate` smallint(4) NOT NULL default '1', `Type` varchar(50) NOT NULL default '', `BillingPlan` smallint(4) NOT NULL default '0', `TimeToFinish` smallint(1) NOT NULL default '0', PRIMARY KEY (`id`), KEY `UserName` (`UserName`(32)) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=67 ; id 1 works - username michelle, id 2 fails and the reason given when running radiusd -X is that it doesn't recognize Max-All-Session. Have I missed something in the configuration that would set that up for me? Or am I whistling up a tree trying to get phpmyprepaid to work? I will admit that it wasn't pleasant getting oddities to work for me in phpmyprepaid, there were a lot of little things in the code that drove me bonkers.... I am also using DD-WRT on a Linksys, Chillispot, and FreeRadius1.1.3 on CentOS. INSERT INTO `radcheck` (`id`, `UserName`, `FirstName`, `LastName`, `CustID`, `Attribute`, `op`, `Value`, `CrDate`, `creator`, `Location`, `activated`, `activeDate`, `status`, `rate`, `Type`, `BillingPlan`, `TimeToFinish`) VALUES (*1, 'michelle', 'michelle', 'manning', '1', 'Password', ':=', 'michelle', '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 'NULL', 0, 0, '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 0, 1, '', 0, 0)*, (2, 'tansel6', '', 'tansel6', '', 'Password', ':=', 'tansel6', '2006-11-09 16:01:52', 'admin', 1, 0, '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 0, 1, 'Hourly', 1, 0), (3, 'tansel6', '', 'tansel6', '', 'Simultaneous-Use', ':=', '1', '2006-11-09 16:01:52', 'admin', 1, 0, '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 0, 1, 'Hourly', 1, 0), (4, 'tansel6', '', 'tansel6', '', '*Max-All-Session*', ':=', '1800', '2006-11-09 16:01:52', 'admin', 1, 0, '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 0, 1, 'Hourly', 1, 0), (5, 'tansel6', '', 'tansel6', '', 'WISPr-Location-ID', ':=', '1', '2006-11-09 16:01:52', 'admin', 1, 0, '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 0, 1, 'Hourly', 1, 0), (6, 'tansel6', '', 'tansel6', '', 'Expiration', ':=', '09 May 2007 00:00:00', '2006-11-09 16:01:52', 'admin', 1, 0, '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 0, 1, 'Hourly', 1, 0),
