Hi, I have spenndt the whole day trying to install Freeradius 1.1.3 over a Debian 4.0 machine. I need to use version 1.1.3 since it is the recommended one for another application I am trying to test. Everything went smooth until the last step when I restarted Freeradius after completing the configuration. I do not know how to tackle this one and I am completely desperate...anyone can give me a hint? I got the following: freeradius:/etc/freeradius# freeradius restart Thu Aug 14 17:08:35 2008 : Info: Starting - reading configuration files ... Thu Aug 14 17:08:35 2008 : Error: /etc/freeradius/radiusd.conf[1460]: Line is not in 'attribute = value' format Thu Aug 14 17:08:35 2008 : Error: Errors reading radiusd.conf The mentioned line [1460] in the radius.conf file looks as follows: [1459] query = "SELECT SUM(AcctSessionTime - \ [1460] GREATEST((%b - UNIX_TIMESTAMP(AcctStartTime)), 0)) \ [1461] FROM radacct WHERE UserName='%{%k}' AND \ [1462] UNIX_TIMESTAMP(AcctStartTime) + AcctSessionTime > '%b'" Thanks a lot ! jose No virus found in this outgoing message.

PPTP forward port per user
by Sascha Kiefer 14 Aug '08

14 Aug '08

Hi, i would like to be able to forward an internal ports of users through the VPN. The idea is that a user picks 2-3 ports (or maybe just one) tcp port out of a given port-pool, and when he connects to the VPN, this portforwarding is established for him. Any idea how to do this? I'm using pptpd with freeradius + mysql. thanks for a hint. cheers, --sascha

Trivial patch for rlm_acctlog in 2.0.5
by Kostas Zorbadelos 14 Aug '08

14 Aug '08

Hello to everyone. As we are preparing for migration to 2.X version in some of our production systems, I took a closer look at the sources and found the rlm_acctlog module that allows for the logging of various types of accounting messages in the radius logs. Moreover I saw that syslog support in 2.X is vastly improved over 1.X series. My minor request is, could you include the following patch in later releases (so as to not maintain it internally)? --- rlm_acctlog.c.orig 2007-11-12 00:11:51.000000000 +0200 +++ rlm_acctlog.c 2008-08-08 13:54:34.000000000 +0300 @@ -79,7 +79,7 @@ rlm_acctlog_t *inst; VALUE_PAIR *pair; - char logstr[MAX_STRING_LEN]; + char logstr[1024]; int acctstatustype = 0; The idea is to have a bigger buffer than 253 characters for logging. Some old syslog implementations can have a 1024 character limit I think, so I guess that would be enough :) Thanks and keep up the good work. Kostas Zorbadelos

Post-proxy Perl script availability
by Julien Leloup 14 Aug '08

14 Aug '08

Hello, I developped a little script in Perl working with FreeRadius v2.x, called in post-proxy section to implement QoS Radius attributes translation from "Class" attribute to Alcatel-Lucent QoS attribute "SLA Profile" and "SUB Profile". It's using a database to get a mapping between this attributes and replace them before sending the response to the client. My question is, do I have to make this script (and SQL schema I suppose) available in the FreeRadius CVS ? I'm not sure it's the kind of script usefull for a large panel of FreeRadius users, but if I have to make it available (maybe to respect GPLv2 or if someone is interested by this script) it's not a problem. Best regards, Julien Leloup Axione 132, boulevard Camélinat 92240 Malakoff, France

Re: Freeradius in an AD environment on opensuse server

>Can I set up freeradius to authenticate with ldaps and be secure? The >ldap would be Microsoft and is on my domain controller. I have >websites using the ldap process but OR do I have to do that samba >thing? It can be done more or less easily, depending on what type of authentication are u doing... If it's plain user/pwd, you can configure freeradius to use LDAP directly. That would be easier. The servers would be your AD servers (you can use all of them if you have more than one), uncomment and configure ldap parts on your FR conf. In order to use ldaps, you just have to enable it in your AD servers if it isn't (just make a netstat looking for por 636 on your AD; if needed, check your windows version on how to enable it), and if you wanna check AD certificates from freeradius when doing connections (it's a good idea), you'll have to import your AD's CA certificate to ./certs on yor FR configuration. It'd run smoothly. bye

invalid login attempts user lockout
by Sudarshan Soma 14 Aug '08

14 Aug '08

Hi All, Does anyone know of RadiusServer denying access for a particular user after a configurable number of invalid login attempts. I know this can be done on the client side with pam modules. But i thought since radius users are same across multple nodes connected to radiusserver, it would be an useful option to lockout at radius server level. Please let me know if anyone is aware of this scenario. Regards, Pavan.

Possible bug in shipped configuration file.
by Maurizio Cimaschi 14 Aug '08

14 Aug '08

Hi, I don't know if this has been reported/discussed before, but it happened to me last week. I was trying to setup a freeradius (2.0.5) to authenticate requests from my access point (using WPA Enterprise) aganist an LDAP server. It was working fine using the "radclient", but the requests from the AP were buonced claiming that no authentication metod was set. I checked the configuration file more than once, googled a lot but was unable to solve. After almost a day of trying, I noticed a line in the debug (radiusd -X) that said something about proxying. So I remembered to have seen a statement in the "inner-server" configuration: #update control { # Proxy-To-Realm := LOCAL #} In the configuration file installed by the installation procedure that part was uncommented; adding the comments was enough to make the server work. I'm not an expert in this application and I don't know why that part was uncommented, but, may I suggest to uncomment that part in the configuration file ? Thank you for your great work. Bye.

Prefix/Suffix not working (FR 2.0.5, CentOS 5, System Auth)
by Steve Weaver 13 Aug '08

13 Aug '08

I'm having a strange problem I hope you can help me figure out. We're finally moving from an ancient Livingston RADIUS to FreeRADIUS. I compiled and installed version 2.0.5 on a freshly installed CentOS 5 box, read all the documentation I could find, installed our old users file and adapted it until it now (mostly) works correctly. System info: # radiusd -v radiusd: FreeRADIUS Version 2.0.5, for host i686-redhat-linux-gnu, built on Aug 5 2008 at 15:40:15 # uname -a Linux ****.*******.com 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5 #1 SMP Wed Jun 25 13:49:24 EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux The problem I'm having is that we have a lot of legacy users still logging in with "Pusername" for PPP connections. I've tried to set it up in both the users file and the hints file (separately) and get the same result. No matter what I do, it tries to authenticate (System auth type) the username "Pusername" instead of "username". If I add a user named "Pusername" everything works correctly. It hits the right default entry and authenticates fine, so it's just not stripping off the "P" when authenticating. I have also tried suffixes (".ppp") to test if it was just the prefix that wasn't working. Same problem. We're not using any realms, proxying, LDAP, SQL, etc at this time. Just a very simple single RADIUS server reading from a users file and authenticating against the system password file. I first tried to set it up in the users file. I commented out everything in the hints file. Here's what the DEFAULT entry looks like in the users file: DEFAULT Auth-Type := System, Prefix == "P" User-Service-Type = Framed-User, Session-Timeout = 36000, Idle-Timeout = 600, Port-Limit = 1, Framed-Protocol = PPP, Framed-Address = 255.255.255.254, Framed-Netmask = 255.255.255.255, Framed-Routing = None, Framed-MTU = 1500, Framed-Compression = Van-Jacobsen-TCP-IP I attempt to authenticate: # radtest Psweaver ******** localhost 0 testing123 Sending Access-Request of id 43 to 127.0.0.1 port 1645 User-Name = "Psweaver" User-Password = "********" NAS-IP-Address = 127.0.0.1 NAS-Port = 0 rad_recv: Access-Reject packet from host 127.0.0.1 port 1645, id=43, length=20 Things are working otherwise; without the "P" it works fine: # radtest sweaver ******** localhost 0 testing123 Sending Access-Request of id 223 to 127.0.0.1 port 1645 User-Name = "sweaver" User-Password = "********" NAS-IP-Address = 127.0.0.1 NAS-Port = 0 rad_recv: Access-Accept packet from host 127.0.0.1 port 1645, id=223, length=56 Session-Timeout = 36000 Idle-Timeout = 600 Port-Limit = 1 Service-Type = Login-User Login-IP-Host = ***.***.***.*** Login-Service = Rlogin With the "P", here's the output of radiusd -X rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 127.0.0.1 port 35915, id=175, length=6 0 User-Name = "Psweaver" User-Password = "********" NAS-IP-Address = 127.0.0.1 NAS-Port = 0 +- entering group authorize ++[preprocess] returns ok expand: /var/log/radius/radacct/%{Client-IP-Address}/auth-detail-%Y%m%d -> /var/log/radius/radacct/127.0.0.1/auth-detail-20080812 rlm_detail: /var/log/radius/radacct/%{Client-IP-Address}/auth-detail-%Y%m%d expands to /var/log/radius/radacct/127.0.0.1/auth-detail-20080812 expand: %t -> Tue Aug 12 10:10:44 2008 ++[auth_log] returns ok ++[chap] returns noop ++[mschap] returns noop rlm_realm: No '@' in User-Name = "Psweaver", looking up realm NULL rlm_realm: No such realm "NULL" ++[suffix] returns noop rlm_eap: No EAP-Message, not doing EAP ++[eap] returns noop ++[unix] returns notfound users: Matched entry DEFAULT at line 3526 ++[files] returns ok ++[expiration] returns noop ++[logintime] returns noop rlm_pap: WARNING!
