I've been working on this for a while, and have yet to find a way to
configure this correctly, despite lots of reading through the mailing
list archives, documentation included with FreeRADIUS, and third-party
documentation. In fact, I've been trying to get this working for
years with older versions of FreeRADIUS, and have succeeded only with
FreeRADIUS<=1.1.6, using configurations that readers of this list are
repeatedly told not to use (such as setting Auth-Type in the users file).
[ASIDE]
With the older versions of FreeRADIUS we're having performance problems
with the authentication. Research on this list has uncovered no end
of responses that such problems are normally caused by the back-end,
not radiusd, but our backend (OpenLDAP) responds to an identical query
as that sent by radius in approximately 6ms (7ms when it's slow), yet
radiusd is still not responding after 30 seconds. We have thousands
of users trying to use our service simultaneously, through hundreds
of wireless access points.
I would be willing to accept that the configuration I'm using (setting
Auth-Type in users) causes radiusd to perform poorly, but that this
isn't radiusd's "fault", since it's an un-advised configuration,
but I just don't see that the problem we're seeing there is because
the backend is slow to respond.
Regardless of the cause here, I decided to upgrade to FreeRADIUS-2.0.3,
hoping that a) I could get that configured according in a recommended
way to accomplish what I want, and b) that this would result in better
performance than we're seeing now. Getting TTLS/PAP/OpenLDAP working
correctly with FreeRADIUS-2.0.3 is the problem I'd like to solve from
this message.
[/ASIDE]
Converting from a working, though technically incorrect configuration to a
"correct" configuration hasn't been particularly easy, but I believe I've
accomplished that, with very little change to the default configurations
(unified context diffs of my configurations against the defaults are
appended below my signature for completeness).
What I have seems to pass tests that have been recommended as "get these
working before moving on", but I can't seem to figure out how to get
from here to being able to unleash my access points on this and have
successful authentications. I see (from -X output) that the TTLS tunnel
is successfully built (that seems to be several steps), a query against
LDAP for authorization (and to retrieve the user's encypted password)
succeeds, but when the request finally gets to the authentication,
radiusd reports:
...

Now, of the above, beside the fact that the authentication failed when
I believe it should have succeeded, I'm concerned about two items.
First:
WARNING: You set Proxy-To-Realm = LOCAL, but it is a LOCAL realm! Cancelling invalid proxy request.
Is this caused by the following in raddb/sites-*/inner-tunnel?
# If you want the inner tunnel request to be proxied, delete
# the next few lines.
#
update control {
Proxy-To-Realm := LOCAL
}
Do I worry about it, or just accept that radiusd cancels the request?
Second:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!! Replacing User-Password in config items with Cleartext-Password. !!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!! Please update your configuration so that the "known good" !!!
!!! clear text password is in Cleartext-Password, and not in User-Password. !!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The text "User-Password" appears in exactly the following places in my
raddb directory (not counting comment lines):
./attrs.pre-proxy: User-Password =* ANY,
./sql/mysql/dialup.conf: '%{%{User-Password}:-%{Chap-Password}}', \
./sql/postgresql/dialup.conf: VALUES ('%{User-Name}', '%{%{User-Password}:-Chap-Password}', '%{reply:Packet-Type}', NOW())"
These files are as shipped with FreeRADIUS-2.0.3. I'm trying to get
this done with minimal change to the default configuration, since it
appears that's what is expected. Which of the above needs to change?
(attrs.pre-proxy?)
The above issues of course still don't address what I see as the real
problem:
Login incorrect: [j_doe/*SANITIZED*] ...
Somebody please tell me where I should be looking to make this work
correctly.
I can run the new server on an alternate port for the preliminary
tests, such as using radtest against a user in LDAP (success), and
radeapclient against a user in the users file (success using md5
as the default_eap_type, but not ttls), but I can't seem to get a
successful test (using ttls; the passwords in LDAP aren't plain-text
so md5 won't work for testing that) with radeapclient against a user in
LDAP, or successful authentication when running in place of our current
in-production RADIUS server.
radtest against user in LDAP:
radtest j_doe '*SANITIZED*' localhost:1814 1 testing123
User-Name = "syl"
User-Password = "*SANITIZED*"
NAS-IP-Address = 192.168.7.47
NAS-Port = 1
Older versions of radtest would report receiving "Access-Accept", while
this one silently exists. However, radiusd in this case says:

Ok, good ...
radeapclient against a user listed in the users file still performs the
ldap query for authorization (I actually don't want that; I'd like the
users file to over-ride the LDAP listing, if an entry is matched in the
users file), but then seems to stop short of setting up the TTLS tunnel
and performing any authentication:
radeapclient says:

I'm certainly prepared to be told that I'm doing it wrong, but in that
case, I'd sure like to know WHAT I'm doing wrong, because I believe
I've followed documented instructions completely, and haven't strayed
any further than necessary from the default configuration as shipped
with FreeRADIUS-2.0.3.
Can someone please tell me where I should be looking? As promised,
the unified context diff of my configuration against the default is
appended below my signature.
