Postgresql groupreply problem
by georg＠wojti.de 01 Sep '15

01 Sep '15

Hello @ all, I want to change the user MAC-authentication with an HP-Switch from the users-file to postgresql. The first thing is, that I have a some lines which check whether it is a Call-Check or not. If not then the radius has to reject this. But I think it's ok if I put this into the users-file. I have written the Cleartext-Password in this file, too, because I get an chap error (chap: ERROR: &control:Cleartext-Password is required for authentication), when I put this into the database. In the Moment my configurations looks like this: -------------- users file -------------- DEFAULT Service-Type != Call-Check, Auth-Type := Reject Fall-Through = Yes DEFAULT Cleartext-Password := "xxxXXXxxx" Fall-Through = Yes DEFAULT Egress-VLANID := 0x3200005C #<-- check in server.conf; reject if it's the same -------------- server.conf -------------- ... authorize { suffix if (Realm != "NULL") { reject } chap files.sw-hp-mac-v3 sql.sw-hp-mac-v3 if (reply:Egress-VLANID == "0x3200005C") { reject } } -------------- Database -------------- (Hope that the format is ok.

In our migration test bed from our antique radius to freeradius I seem to have issue with freeradius sql dishing out IP's... if I use ippool, sure works great, but our NAS's do this now and we are trying to move away to sql, which doesn't in fact doesn't seem to even look for it using radiusd -X We have populated radippool with pool name: 'main_pool', ' i.p.add.ress' added DEFAULT Pool-Name := main_pool

Session caching in v3.0.9
by Jason Alderfer 31 Aug '15

31 Aug '15

Folks, I'm having trouble getting session caching to work in 3.0.9. In my config a user's VLAN is determined based on an LDAP search and in some cases by an external program (exec). This is done in the inner-tunnel. For session caching I added the following to post-auth of inner-tunnel: if ( reply:Tunnel-Private-group-ID ) { update reply { Cached-Session-Policy :="vlan=%{reply:Tunnel-Private-Group-ID}" } } And the following to post-auth of default: if ( reply:Cached-Session-Policy ) { if ( reply:Cached-Session-Policy =~ /vlan=(.+)/ ) { update reply { Reply-Message += "Cached policy:%{reply:Cached-Session-Policy}" Tunnel-Private-Group-ID := "%{1}" Tunnel-Type := VLAN Tunnel-Medium-Type := IEEE-802 } } } Question 1: use_tunneled_reply. Is it truly deprecated in the case of session caching? When I use the alternative given in the example config file, I never see any .vps file saved in the disk cache though there is a .asn1 file. When I revert to use_tunneled_reply=yes the .vps files appear and their content appears correct. Question 2: See attached debug log. When a session resumes, the cached info appears to be read correctly from the cache (see "Debug: (41)") but it never gets sent back in the reply (see "Debug: (42)"). What am I doing wrong? Regards, Jason Alderfer

MS-CHAP2-Response is incorrect with Freeradius 2.1.12
by François Lacombe 31 Aug '15

31 Aug '15

Dear all, I'm looking for some help regarding my Freeradius 2.1.12 config. It is running on a Debian Wheezy machine. I need to authenticate my users with EAP-MSCHAPv2 method based upon information stored on a LDAP. Freeradius is bind to LDAP using a service account a retrieving NT and LM-Password hashes (smbldap-tools generated previously). I'm not using the LDAP AuthType and my users file is empty. You'll find attached my launch log and request process log. During any authentication process, Freeradius is throwing the line "Info : [mschap] FAILED : MS-CHAP2-Response is incorrect" without any more detail (line 622). It seems this line appears when NT or LM-Password are missing in the LDAP, but here Freeradius find them successfully earlier. I don't understand this message. Would you have any hint to fix this problem and make Freeradius authenticate my users ? Feel free to give any piece of advice regarding my config. All the best François -- François Lacombe @InfosReseaux

sha512 format
by Noel Butler 29 Aug '15

29 Aug '15

Howdy, Building new radius setup, and in test bed using freeradius at present, I see v3 uses SHA-2, great, it's what we are trying, but when inserting into mariadb $6$salt$foobarqwerty.... does not seems not to work (clear text of course does but thats not an option in 2015) does it expect it in some other format? Our systems use perl and systems crypt to generate sha512 for database thats used by dovecot, pureftpd and apache etc for long time, is there a trick to get sha512 and freeradius to play nice? Cheers

How does rlm_perl work with freeRADIUS 3?
by Cornelius Kölbel 28 Aug '15

28 Aug '15

Hello, I have a question regarding rlm_perl. I was using rlm_perl with FreeRADIUS 2 just fine. Now I try to use rlm_perl with FreeRADIUS 3 on CentOS 7 and I am reading this page. http://wiki.freeradius.org/modules/Rlm_perl Previously I set Auth-Type := Perl in the users file. So, now I let my sites-enabled look like this: authorize { preprocess digest suffix ntdomain #files perl if (ok || updated) { update control { Auth-Type := Perl } } expiration logintime pap } authenticate { Auth-Type Perl { perl } But then I get an invalid location for if. Ok, so I change it to authorize { ... update control { Auth-Type := Perl } But then I get an error in my authenticate section. # Creating Auth-Type = Perl # Loading authenticate {...} /etc/raddb/sites-enabled/privacyidea[25]: "System" modules aren't allowed in 'authenticate' sections -- they have no such method. /etc/raddb/sites-enabled/privacyidea[21]: Errors parsing authenticate section. Did I miss anything in the description http://wiki.freeradius.org/modules/Rlm_perl? What are "System" modules?

has proxying configuration changed from 2.2.6-2.2.8 ?
by Louis Munro 28 Aug '15

28 Aug '15

Hello, I am trying to track down an odd behaviour. I have set up a simple FreeRADIUS server as proxy load balancer for two back end FR servers. All are running 2.2.8. I can’t seem to get the proxy to notice when one of the two backends is shut down. It used to be (I was running 2.2.6 before upgrading to 2.2.8) that after a few seconds the proxy would notice that the backend was not responding and start sending the requests to the other server. As in the following (radiusd -X ) where we can see it marking the server as zombie and sending status-server requests: Listening on authentication address 172.20.20.246 port 1812 Listening on accounting address 172.20.20.246 port 1813 Listening on authentication address 172.20.20.245 port 1812 as server pf.cluster Listening on accounting address 172.20.20.245 port 1813 as server pf.cluster Listening on command file /var/run/radiusd/radiusd.sock Listening on authentication address 127.0.0.1 port 18120 as server inner-tunnel Listening on proxy address 172.20.20.246 port 1814 Ready to process requests. rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 172.20.20.14 port 61315, id=176, length=82 User-Name = "aabbccddeeff" User-Password = "aabbccddeeff" NAS-IP-Address = 192.168.239.141 NAS-Port = 11 Message-Authenticator = 0x4e8b8278c6926c4400d0c821ee79a136 server pf.cluster { # Executing section authorize from file /etc/raddb/sites-enabled/pf-proxy +group authorize { ++update control { ++} # update control = noop +} # group authorize = noop } # server pf.cluster WARNING: Empty pre-proxy section.

Waking up in 4.9 seconds. Both of these outputs are from the same server and the requests were generated using radclient. These are two stock configuration as much as I could make them. The 2.2.6 was installed from packages ( 2.2.6-4.el6 on CentOS 6) whereas the 2.2.8 was compiled from the latest tarball available on http://freeradius.org/download.html. All I did was ./configure && make and then make install. The only files I had changed were the radiusd.conf, clients.conf and a sites-enabled/pf-proxy file of which the contents follow. radiusd.conf and clients.conf are the same (I reused the same file).

Are you alive?" No such requests are received from 2.2.8. So my question is, has proxying configuration changed between 2.2.6 and 2.2.8 in some way that would explain this? I’d be happy to provide any additional information. Any help is appreciated. -- Louis Munro lmunro(a)inverse.ca :: www.inverse.ca +1.514.447.4918 x125 :: +1 (866) 353-6153 x125 Inverse inc. :: Leaders behind SOGo (www.sogo.nu) and PacketFence (www.packetfence.org)
