Authenticate to AD but only allow certain group
by Brian C. Huffman 16 Aug '25

16 Aug '25

All, I've got authentication working nicely with MSCHAP, but now I'd like to only allow users that are members of a certain AD group. I would prefer to have this happen only when requests come from a specific client (wireless access point). In this case the idea is to have users only be able to get wireless access when they're in a specific AD group. How can I do this in freeradius? Thanks, Brian

Memory leak in FR 3.0.19 ?
by Arnaud LAURIOU 30 Jun '20

30 Jun '20

Hi, We are suspecting memory leak in FR 3.0.19 : process memory status show VmData always keep increasing leading to VmSwap use after a few days which also keep increasing. I have 2 questions : - What are the compile options to use valgrind ? only flag --enable-developper ?|| - In the changelog for version 3.0.20 : some memories problems seems to be solved, do you know when this version will be released ? (if the release date is close, we can wait to test this release rather than 3.0.19) Regards, Arnaud Lauriou

core dumps not working on FreeBSD host
by Marek Zarychta 04 Mar '20

04 Mar '20

Dear list, since upgrade from 3.0.19 to 3.0.20 I am occasionally getting errors like this one: pid 23749 (radiusd), jid 1, uid 133: exited on signal 11 This issue is somehow related to network / connectivity problems and looks like quite a new problem (I have not seen this in 3.0.19 and earlier releases). It can't be easily triggered, so I am searching for the culprit. To find it I have tried to enable core dumps on FreeBSD for radiusd but without success. I have set allow_core_dumps = yes in radiusd.conf file. Also these sysctls are set: kern.sugid_coredump=1 kern.coredump=1 kern.corefile=/tmp/%N.%P.core There is no problem with getting core dumps for other daemons running on this host, also those running with suid/sgid enabled like bind or nsd, so the issue looks more like daemon related problem than OS problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated! -- Marek Zarychta

FR 3.0.20 running with -f on Debian 8.11
by Martin Pauly 04 Mar '20

04 Mar '20

Hi, hope I haven't missed any docs, but: I have a productive installation of FR 3.0.17 running on Debian 8.11. Before migrating this to Debian 10, I wanted to upgrade it to 3.0.20. It compiled fine from the source, and the server is working. But there seems to be some trouble, as the process shows up as USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND freerad 56763 1.6 11.4 622300 116336 ? Ssl 15:58 0:01 /usr/sbin/freeradius -f Attached is debug, but you don't fork in debug mode ... Any idea? TIA, Martin -- Dr. Martin Pauly Phone: +49-6421-28-23527 HRZ Univ.

EAP-TLS Fragmentation Error
by freeradius＠lunchinglads.net 29 Feb '20

29 Feb '20

Hi Gang, I get the following auth failure for machines connecting wirelessly through a Cisco AP-1142N: > eap: Calling submodule eap_tls to process data > eap_tls: Continuing EAP-TLS > eap_tls: Peer indicated complete TLS record size will be 31 bytes > eap_tls: Got complete TLS record (31 bytes) > eap_tls: [eaptls verify] = length included > eap_tls: <<< recv TLS 1.2 [length 0002] > eap_tls: ERROR: TLS Alert read:fatal:access denied > eap_tls: SSL_read Error > eap_tls: ERROR: Error in fragmentation logic > eap_tls: ERROR: Failed in __FUNCTION__ (SSL_read): error:14094419:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:tlsv1 alert access denied > eap_tls: ERROR: [eaptls process] = fail > eap: ERROR: Failed continuing EAP TLS (13) session. EAP sub-module failed > eap: Sending EAP Failure (code 4) ID 12 length 4 There appears to be no method to this madness. Same setup[1] at our auxiliary site and everything works fine. I don't know how to interpret this error, so looking for a root cause has so far escaped me. Some of our Windows 10 workstations connect without any problems, some won't. The only obvious difference between those two locations is the model of Cisco WAP involved. Could this be an authenticator issue? Any pointers greatly appreciated! Mike [1] v.3.0.17 on Debian 10.3

Use Active Directory Group to authorize a users on Freeradius 3.0.x
by Igor Sousa 28 Feb '20

28 Feb '20

Hello everybody, I have had some problems about to authorize users based on Active Directory (Samba 4 DCs) groups. I have followed http://deployingradius.com/documents/configuration/active_directory.html to configure ntlm_auth and it works perfectly. As I need restrict access to some AD groups, I need to configure ldap module. I've alright configured ldap module, but it has been pure Openldap (uid stores username and usePassword stores password). Then, to set up ldap module to access AD ldap, I've read comments on mods-available/ldap and I have set up "server", "identity", "password" and "base_dn" on the mods-enabled/ldap. I have also set up to use the attribute stores username on AD user { ... filter = "(sAMAccountName=%{%{Stripped-User-Name}:-%{User-Name}})" ... } and group { ... filter = '(objectClass=group)' ... name_attribute = cn membership_filter = "(|(member=%{control:Ldap-UserDn})(memberUid=%{%{Stripped-User-Name}:-%{User-Name}}))" membership_attribute = 'memberOf' ... } When I have tried to run radiusd -X, it has shown a error message about bind tried to ldap server: rlm_ldap (ldap): Opening additional connection (0), 1 of 32 pending slots used rlm_ldap (ldap): Connecting to ldap://dc01.mydomain.com:389 rlm_ldap (ldap): Waiting for bind result... rlm_ldap (ldap): Bind with cn=Administrator,cn=Users,dc=mydomain,dc=com to ldap://dc01.mydomain.com:389 failed: Strong(er) authentication required rlm_ldap (ldap): Server said: BindSimple: Transport encryption required.. rlm_ldap (ldap): Opening connection failed (0) rlm_ldap (ldap): Removing connection pool /etc/raddb/mods-enabled/ldap[8]: Instantiation failed for module "ldap" I've suspected about SASL due I haven't been notify that LDAP use STARTTLS or SSL over TLS.

Error: Ignoring duplicate packet, LDAP performance
by uj2.hahn＠posteo.de 28 Feb '20

28 Feb '20

Hi, freeradius team! I know, this "Ignoring duplicate packet" topic has been discussed for a long time again and again. I see that in a special configuration: - FreeRADIUS Version 3.0.17 on Ubuntu - ActiveDirectory on Winserver 2012 R2 - authentication via ntlm_auth - post-auth via LDAP (group ownership etc) - 15 brand-new Cisco/Meraki-WLAN-APs in network - all Cisco/Meraki-WLAN-APs are controlled by a central web-based Meraki dashboard Everything works fine, there are no user complaints so far. BUT: The central Meraki dashboard has a built-in test function to check all managed NAS if they are able to communicate with radius server. So I have to provide an existing user/password and the dashboard triggers each NAS to check for freeradius authentication with same credentials. In this scenario I run into the "Ignoring duplicate packet" issue (see freeradius log part below) which let the Meraki dashboard reports some NAS as failing. The count of failing NASs and the failing NASs are varying . However when I disable the LDAP post-auth section everything is fine.

Actions I will take are: - let network admin check the network and DC/AD server performance - review my freeradius LDAP queries if they are specific enough (reducing the amount of data they generate) But I have some questions to freeradius team related to that: I have a single freeradius server and a single DC/AD server. 1) Why does freeradius open and close LDAP connections pretty often? Isn't one permanently open connection good enough? 2) What does this message mean: Info: rlm_ldap (ldap): Deleting connection (17640) - Was referred to a different LDAP server There is just one LDAP server! I started a debug session and found this matching part in debug log: (25) ldap: User object found at DN "CN=jasmin hahn,OU=Schueler,DC=moritz,DC=local" (25) ldap: EXPAND (samaccountname=%{mschap:User-Name}) (25) ldap: --> (samaccountname=jasmin-hahn) (25) ldap: Waiting for bind result...

This is not the topic I want to ask here. Or is it related??) 3) In my special case (self test by Meraki dashboard) I check same user from all NASs within a short timeframe. So freeradius should provide always same feedback. Could the freeradius flow be shortened by a cache mechanism? Thanks a lot! Uwe

Ubuntu patch FYI
by Danner, Mearl 27 Feb '20

27 Feb '20

Just got this from a wireless lan list: "We has been struggling with a recent patch from Ubuntu that broke encrypted connections between some of our internal servers. Long story short: Ubuntu now uses GNU-TLS and the latest security patch has removed support for SHA-1. Error messages in Ubuntu or in LDAP were not explicit enough to make it obvious. Some of you may face this issue between RADIUS and LDAP (still used quite a bit for 802.1X). This issue will most likely affect internally issued infrastructure certificates! Fix: Do not patch GNU-TLS (is this a good idea?) or recreate your ROOT CA to support SHA-2 family"
