What is the purpose of the default accounting-on/off queries?
by Antônio Modesto 11 Oct '21

11 Oct '21

Hello everyone, I have two questions: 1) What is the purpose of the default accounting-on and accounting-off queries bundled with freeradius? I am asking this because one of my customer's NAS is sending accounting-on packets for no reason, and Freeradius is closing the sessions with the 'NAS-Reboot' Acct-Terminate-Cause. I was thinking about disabling the accounting-on query altogether, and leaving only the accounting-off. Are there any side effects by doing this? 2) Does Freeradius use accounting-off packets to release IPs allocated in the sqlippool? Regards -- Att, *Antônio Modesto*

detail logs with filebeat, elasticsearch and Kibana
by Lineconnect 08 Oct '21

08 Oct '21

Hi there, i found a nice way to get the detailed logs of FreeRADIUS into elasticsearch and want to share it with you: After reading some of the old threads/presentations(e.g. http://lists.freeradius.org/pipermail/freeradius-users/2018-April/091415.htm or https://www.slideshare.net/MatthewNewton28/freeradius-eduroam-logging-and-e…) i pretty much copied this approach, to get the detail log into a json format because there is currenlty no module for the default FreeRADIUS logs. It works in general very good but has the disadvantage to get empyt fields in elasticsearch because not all the fields filled at each time, when the linelog module was called(may just my problem) and you properly will not see any vendor specific RADIUS attribute as long you're not updating your linelog module. The default FreeRADIUS detail log does only contain key-value pairs which are filled(obviously). To let FreeRADIUS write the detail log with the linemodule you can do something like this(found in the eduroam documentation(https://wiki.freeradius.org/guide/eduroam#configuration_the-o…: ```` linelog log_reply { filename = ${logfile} permissions = 0644 reference = "messages.%{%{reply:Packet-Type}:-format}" messages { Access-Accept = "%{pairs:request:}" Access-Reject = "%{pairs:request:}" } } ```` Now the log which is written by linelog looks like this: ```` User-Name = "anonymous", NAS-IP-Address = 127.0.0.1, Calling-Station-Id = "02-00-00-00-00-01", Framed-MTU = 1400, NAS-Port-Type = Wireless-802.11, Service-Type = Framed-User, Connect-Info = "CONNECT 11Mbps 802.11b", EAP-Message = 0x0200000e01616e6f6e796d6f7573, Message-Authenticator = 0x77ad754adf2d2dee13cfc20cb5f02c74, EAP-Type = Identity ```` To get all of the attributes parsed in elasticsearch as field and value you can use a ingest pipeline and the key-value module - https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/ingest.html - https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-kv.html The api request to elastic could be look like this: ```` PUT _ingest/pipeline/radius-log-parsing { "description" : "Parse radius log", "processors" : [ { "kv": { "field": "message", "field_split": ", ", "value_split": " = " } } ] } ```` And if you're using filebeat as logshipper, you can reference that pipeline in your input configuration, so it could look like this: ```` - type: log paths: - /var/log/freeradius/radius-detail.log ignore_older: 5m pipeline: "radius-log-parsing" tags: ['detail'] ```` Hope this helps someone how's trying to get dynamic field in elastic for the FreeRADIUS detail log. Best regards, Lineconnect

eap-tls certificates
by Munroe Sollog 08 Oct '21

08 Oct '21

I'm reading: http://deployingradius.com/documents/configuration/certificates.html It mentions, "You need to edit client.cnf only if you are using EAP-TLS. If not, then that file can be left as-is." Though it doesn't say, I'm assuming i need to edit the [req] and [client] sections? For the [client] section, do I need an entry for every unique client I plan on deploying a certificate to? I'm asking because I don't understand the emailAddress and commonName fields in this context. Finally, is there any documentation on how to scale this solution up to support 15k-20k users? I'm hoping something like LDAP or RDBMS is an option? -- Munroe Sollog (He/Him/His) Network Architect munroe(a)lehigh.edu

Version 3.0 and 3.2
by Alan DeKok 08 Oct '21

08 Oct '21

Matthew has tagged version 3.2 here: https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/freeradius-server/tree/v3.2.x We will use 3.2 as the new "minor features" branch. Matthew has already pulled in a few PRs. Version 3.2 (and any later 3.x) will also be 99.99% compatible with 3.0. So the upgrade process will be painless. We have now marked 3.0 as "security and bug fixes only". There will be no new features in 3.0. We will continue to maintain both the 3.0 and 3.2 branches for the foreseeable future. Alan DeKok.

"0x" in front of Clear-text password
by Eric Aguilar 08 Oct '21

08 Oct '21

Hello, We have Freeradius 3 running successfully - we updated from Freeradius 2 a couple months ago. We encountered a problem with NAS running Coovachilli for captive portal authentication which was working before. Even if the uamsecret is not set SQL logs the radcheck attempt with the correct password but with a leading "0x" - it seems it is rejecting the access request due to that 0x being in front. Is there a way to modify freeradius to strip that "0x" so that we can get successful authentication or maybe force taking CHAP-Password parameter as User-Password? Please let me know if I should ask differently or include some more information. Here is the debug file: Ready to process requests (0) Received Access-Request Id 60 from 187.168.34.159:48641 to 172.31.36.39:1812 length 162 (0) User-Name = "06-CC-C6-1E-6B-09" (0) CHAP-Password = 0x7c2e341f7fa12820b2605223bac6c307 (0) CHAP-Challenge = 0x047808cb6d147b8d77d3116a0cfa6498 (0) Calling-Station-Id = "06-CC-C6-1E-6B-09" (0) Called-Station-Id = "00-1A-DD-7A-E1-80" (0) Service-Type = Login-User (0) NAS-Port-Type = Wireless-802.11 (0) NAS-Identifier = "myNas" (0) Acct-Session-Id = "615f44bb00000000" (0) NAS-Port = 0 (0) NAS-IP-Address = 192.168.101.166 (0) # Executing section authorize from file /etc/raddb/sites-enabled/default (0) authorize { (0) policy filter_username { (0) if (&User-Name) { (0) if (&User-Name) -> TRUE (0) if (&User-Name) { (0) if (&User-Name =~ / /) { (0) if (&User-Name =~ / /) -> FALSE (0) if (&User-Name =~ /@[^@]*@/ ) { (0) if (&User-Name =~ /@[^@]*@/ ) -> FALSE (0) if (&User-Name =~ /\.\./ ) { (0) if (&User-Name =~ /\.\./ ) -> FALSE (0) if ((&User-Name =~ /@/) && (&User-Name !~ /(a)(.+)\.(.+)$/)) { (0) if ((&User-Name =~ /@/) && (&User-Name !~ /(a)(.+)\.(.+)$/)) -> FALSE (0) if (&User-Name =~ /\.$/) { (0) if (&User-Name =~ /\.$/) -> FALSE (0) if (&User-Name =~ /(a)\./) { (0) if (&User-Name =~ /(a)\./) -> FALSE (0) } # if (&User-Name) = notfound (0) } # policy filter_username = notfound (0) [preprocess] = ok (0) [digest] = noop (0) suffix: Checking for suffix after "@" (0) suffix: No '@' in User-Name = "06-CC-C6-1E-6B-09", looking up realm NULL (0) suffix: No such realm "NULL" (0) [suffix] = noop (0) eap: No EAP-Message, not doing EAP (0) [eap] = noop (0) sql: EXPAND %{User-Name} (0) sql: --> 06-CC-C6-1E-6B-09 (0) sql: SQL-User-Name set to '06-CC-C6-1E-6B-09' rlm_sql (sql): Closing connection (0): Hit idle_timeout, was idle for 78 seconds rlm_sql_mysql: Socket destructor called, closing socket rlm_sql (sql): Closing connection (1): Hit idle_timeout, was idle for 78 seconds rlm_sql_mysql: Socket destructor called, closing socket rlm_sql (sql): Closing connection (2): Hit idle_timeout, was idle for 78 seconds rlm_sql_mysql: Socket destructor called, closing socket rlm_sql (sql): Closing connection (3): Hit idle_timeout, was idle for 78 seconds rlm_sql_mysql: Socket destructor called, closing socket rlm_sql (sql): Closing connection (4): Hit idle_timeout, was idle for 78 seconds rlm_sql_mysql: Socket destructor called, closing socket rlm_sql (sql): Closing connection (5): Hit idle_timeout, was idle for 78 seconds rlm_sql_mysql: Socket destructor called, closing socket rlm_sql (sql): Closing connection (6): Hit idle_timeout, was idle for 78 seconds rlm_sql_mysql: Socket destructor called, closing socket rlm_sql (sql): Closing connection (7): Hit idle_timeout, was idle for 78 seconds rlm_sql (sql): You probably need to lower "min" rlm_sql_mysql: Socket destructor called, closing socket rlm_sql (sql): Closing connection (8): Hit idle_timeout, was idle for 78 seconds rlm_sql (sql): You probably need to lower "min" rlm_sql_mysql: Socket destructor called, closing socket rlm_sql (sql): Closing connection (9): Hit idle_timeout, was idle for 78 seconds rlm_sql (sql): You probably need to lower "min" rlm_sql_mysql: Socket destructor called, closing socket rlm_sql (sql): 0 of 0 connections in use.

Version 3.0.25 has been released
by Matthew Newton 07 Oct '21

07 Oct '21

We have released version 3.0.25 today. Thanks everyone for your patience after the issues with 3.0.24 - hopefully not repeated this time... This is a bugfix release. - `correct_escapes` has been added back into the default configuration. - A segfault when trying to proxy to zombie home servers has been fixed. - A number of other small bugs and compiler warnings were fixed. - Added support for building with PostgreSQL 14. Many thanks to those who helped track down the segfault, which was particularly tricky and took a number of days to trigger. It had been added as part of another bug fix. :( Packages, Docker images and source tarballs are all available in the usual places. https://packages.networkradius.com/ https://freeradius.org/releases/ ftp://ftp.freeradius.org/pub/freeradius/ -- Matthew

Commercial support needed
by David Baird 07 Oct '21

07 Oct '21

Hello, I work for a K12 school district. We have a functional freeradius setup providing authentication to our Aruba wireless network. Unfortunately, the technician who set up and managed both the wireless network and radius left suddenly a few weeks ago with no notice and no knowledge transfer. I am looking for an expert to help us overcome an immediate need to enable 2 additional wireless controllers to communicate with our radius servers. Any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated! Sincerely, Dave Baird Network Admin Olympia School District

RFC 6218 support
by Joseph Christopher Sible 07 Oct '21

07 Oct '21

Hello, I'm interested in RFC 6218 support for FreeRADIUS, so that it can be used with Cisco equipment in FIPS mode. I see that https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/freeradius-server/issues/2264 was previously opened about this, but that it's not accepting new interactions on GitHub due to prior off-topic comments. Is this still something that's planned to be implemented at some point? If not, is it something that a PR could be accepted for? Thanks, Joseph C. Sible
