Authenticating many devices using one attribute
by Brian Johnson 25 May '07

25 May '07

Hello -- We're hoping to begin using radius to authenticate logins to our Cisco routers and Cisco switches. Currently, we're going to start with a group of core routers, but would like to make all of our switches authenticate to radius. Being the networking group for the University, our switches are located on many different networks all over campus, and we have ~900. We currently use our radius server to authenticate other services such as modems and the VPN. I'm looking for a radius configuration that's as compact as possible; obviously, when dealing with 900+ devices, using individual ips isn't ideal. Thank you for your help.

Freeradius pauses before responding when not running in debug mode
by Patric 25 May '07

25 May '07

Hi all, As per the subject, I have found the following interesting behaviour with freeradius 1.1.6 When running the server in normal mode or in debug level 1 mode : radiusd -y or radiusd -y -x (lowercase x) When sending an access request, the server pauses for a few seconds somewhere in the exec part of the authorize section. When running the server in more verbose debug mode : Radiusd -y -X (uppercase X) This pause does not occur. I am using exec to run external authentication, and would have thought it was my script causing the pause, but it does not appear when running with -X Anybody else experience something like this? Thanks Patrick ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Find out how you can get spam free email. http://www.bluebottle.com

Dynamic VLAN - limiting switchs VLANs?
by Robert 25 May '07

25 May '07

Hello all, I currently have FR running and happily doing MAC authentication against a MYSQL DB. I can plug a computer into the switch, have the switch grab the MAC addy, pass it to FR, hit the DB and return what VLAN that MAC belongs to, and then have the switch configure to port to the correct VLAN. Now the complication that I'm facing is that in our environment, a MAC might be assigned to multiple VLANs and our switches only have a fraction of the total number VLANs trunked to them. What I need is a way FR can not only match the MAC to a VLAN, but also to cross reference that result to the VLANs that are available from the requesting switch. Anyone know how to do this? Or at least a good place that I can start? I'll admit that I'm very noob-ish about all this and it's is my first time trying to setup FR so I apologize if this is a really simple or conversely an impossible task. I just can not get Google to give me any love on this. Thanks, Rob

freeradius 1.1.4 stops answering (why?)
by Roberto S. G. 25 May '07

25 May '07

hi, I'm experiencing strange problems with a compiled freeradius 1.1.4 that I have on a Reh Hat... I've used there other previous freeradius versions without problem, but this one seems to maintain service for just a couple of days, after which it stops authenticating. I had not noticed this before, 'cause it was almost idle until now. There's no strange error, even in "-X" mode. Maybe it has something to be with connections to the ldap server... freeradius makes connections to local stunnel ports, which then connects to an Active Directory via ldaps (it has always run smoothly), but the last configured freeradius ldap is a plain remote ldap connection just in case stunnel stops running... ¿Maybe new FR versions has changes in the way it manages connections?. The "Timed out while waiting for server to respond" error doesn't seem to me correct, since a restart makes it dissapear, and I'd already risen default values in radiusd.conf {ldap}: timeout = 60 timelimit = 3 net_timeout = 5 I just see in radius.log that there aren't more OK's (or KO's)... I do not understand also the "Logout entry for NAS wireless-leon port 1 has wrong IDs" message... (I make no accounting). [ I've tried also v1.1.6, but it's even worse: there're *much* more "Logout entry for..." and "Error: rlm_ldap: ldap_search() failed: Timed out..." and "Error: Discarding duplicate request..." logs, and others related to NAS that didn't appear before; all with exactly the same conf (which I compared line by line with 1.1.6 default one, without finding new or deprecated attributes...), so I downgrade to 1.1.4 again... ] Any comment will be appreciated. bye extract from radius.log, for v1.1.4: Wed May 23 13:16:05 2007 : Error: rlm_radutmp: Logout entry for NAS wireless-leon port 1 has wrong ID Wed May 23 13:16:31 2007 : Error: rlm_radutmp: Logout entry for NAS wireless-leon port 1 has wrong ID Wed May 23 13:20:34 2007 : Error: rlm_radutmp: Logout entry for NAS wireless-leon port 1 has wrong ID Wed May 23 14:07:36 2007 : Error: Discarding duplicate request from client wireless-leon:1025 - ID: 170 due to unfinished request 141087 ...
