Survey Results are in.
by Alan DeKok 31 Oct '06

31 Oct '06

It's been a few weeks since the survey was started. Thanks to everyone who entered their data. The results are still coming in at about 25 per day, so I expect that these numbers will change over time. So far, we have a bit over 500 responses, which makes the data very useful. I won't get into a detailed explanation of the results, but I will hilight the numbers. I'll see if I can put some graphs on freeradius.org in a few days, too. We have the most interesting result first: ==> Total number of users who are authenticated via FreeRADIUS: 100,000,000 That's impressive. The top 30 sites alone have over 75 million users who are using RADIUS for authentication. With those numbers, it looks like 10% or more of people on the net are authenticated via FreeRADIUS. If we assume that a number of large sites haven't entered their data on the survey, then the percentage is probably much higher, like 25%. FreeRADIUS looks like it's the server of choice for the Internet. Maybe we'll make that the new slogan... ==> Total number of RADIUS servers Many sites (70%) only have 1-2, with 95% of sites having 10 or fewer servers. About 1% has 50-100 servers, though, which is impressive. ==> Databases MySQL is the clear winner at 30%. Next comes the "users" file at 10%, OpenLDAP at 17%, and Active Directory at 14%. ==> Password hashes 40% of passwords are stored as cleartext, 25% as Crypt, 20% as MD5, and 13% as NT hash. ==> Authentication Protocols PAP and CHAP are paired at about 20%. But PEAP, EAP-TLS, and TTLS are each about 10%, too. ==> Configuration updates 75% of sites change their configuration monthly to never. That statistic goes a long way to explaining why so few people need official support. :) ==> Other RADIUS servers ACS and IAS are tied at about 25% each. Cistron and OpenRADIUS are at about 10%, and Funk & Radiator are just under 10%. It looks like FreeRADIUS isn't in the top 5 of RADIUS servers, it's in the top 3, and maybe is even number one! And a large number of people have *never* used a server other than FreeRADIUS. I'm glad to see it's well received. ==> Why FreeRADIUS? Open source, cost, and feature set all came in at about 20% each. ==> What do you need most from FreeRADIUS? Something called "documentation" beat out the next nearest response by nearly 2:1. We'll see if we can work on that. Anyways, thanks for all of the response. We'll use the information to target development for future releases. Alan DeKok.

Machine Accounts against AD
by King, Michael 31 Oct '06

I had this working before, and I can't figure out what I'm missing to get it working on this server. Samba Version 3.0.23b FreeRADIUS version 1.0.4 Users successfully authenticate with the domain, Machine accounts do not however. My ntlm_auth line is: ntlm_auth = "/usr/bin/ntlm_auth --request-nt-key --username=%{mschap:User-Name} --challenge=%{mschap:Challenge} --nt-response=%{mschap:NT-Response}" I have: with_ntdomain_hack = yes in the mschap section.

PROBLEM - Proxy + SQLIPPOOL + Framed-IP-Address
by Guilherme Franco 31 Oct '06

31 Oct '06

Hi, Doing proxy, freeradius always ignore the static Framed-IP-Address set in radreply table and sets the random SQLIPPOOL instead. Without proxy, SQLIPPOOL won't assign an IP from the pool and grabs the Framed-IP-Address correctly. I guess it's because the Framed-IP-Address = 255.255.255.254 contained in the Access-Accept packet from the proxy home server. Played with attrs but no luck. Please help! Thanks!

FreeRadius slower than SBR
by Sean.Boran＠swisscom.com 31 Oct '06

31 Oct '06

Hi, I'm proposing a FreeRadius solution for 802.1x authentication of Wired client based on Client certificates, a CRL lookup, and vlan assoociation from Active Directory. The IT department, who usuall buy Steel Belted Radius from Juniper, are saying FreeRadius is just too slow, and could not handle the traffic. The SBR: http://www.juniper.net/products/aaa/sbr/ Now, I don't see the basis for these assertions and I would imagine the bottlenext being the CRL lookups and AD requests. I estimate the number of authentication sper sec to reach about 60 to 100 for this project. However I'd like to humbly ask the list what they think of such assertions, is there something in SBR that would make them much more scalable or faster? Where would the bottlenecks be? How many client cert auths/sec could FR handle, on say an entry level single CPU server HW? Thanks in advance, Sean

Freeradius is mad ! Or me...
by benodilo＠free.fr 31 Oct '06

31 Oct '06

Hi, I have a Freeradius on a fedora core 5 with a backend mysql. It's work fine 20 days. But i have stopped it (/etc/init.d.radiusd stop) and use radiusd -A commande for testing another login for mysql. An since this change the serveur radius can connect to serveur mysql on debug mode (rdiusd -X), if i use the command "/etc/init.d/radiusd start" the clients can't connect et in the log (see bottom) say it can't connect to mysql sevrer. Why the command "radiusd -A" work fine and not "/etc/init.d/raduisd start" ??? I really don't understand why ! I will be mad

Freeradius with Comindico
by Cory Robson 31 Oct '06

31 Oct '06

I'm configuring freeradius 1.0.4-1.FC4.1 for the first time in an attempt to interface with Comindico's system. Comindico are totally unhelpful hese days with most support issues other than suggesting I buy a copy of radiator as that's all they apparently know. Anyway I have configured freeradius to use mysql for authentication and accounting. Has anyone done a step by step config or able to assist me in understanding this process better. NTRadping confirms authentication and accounting packets are functional but I cannot find any information to support commindico's process I have most of my dialup services through comindico. Thanks in advance Cory

AP and radius attributes
by Manuel Sánchez Cuenca 31 Oct '06

Hello all, does anybody knows if the linksys wrt54g AP support any radius attribute, such as Session-Timeout. Anyway, can anybody tell me which APs applies the radius attributes sent by the freeradius server after a successful authentication?

proxy + rlm_perl question
by Francois-Xavier GAILLARD 30 Oct '06

30 Oct '06

Hi list, I have 2 questions: 1/ I'll have to proxy auth requests to a client's home radius. He is just allowed to check the user's username/password. I know how to filter attributes using attrs and the post-proxy section of radiusd.conf. But I don't know how to ADD attributes, like Framed-IP-Address for example. User-Name isn't sent back from the home radius to the proxy radius in the Access-Accept, thus I can't make any sql query (I use mysql backend) based on the username to get the Framed-IP-Address I want to assign to the users. I could do a sql query in the pre-proxy section (don't know if it's ok, because you can't use the sql module in post-proxy) but I don't want to send anything else than UserName and Password to the client's home radius. Any idea how I could do that ? 2/ when I try to use example.pl in the post-proxy section I get the following error: Can't load '/usr/lib/perl/5.8/auto/Data/Dumper/Dumper.so' for module Data::Dumper: /usr/lib/perl/5.8/auto/Data/Dumper/Dumper.so: undefined symbol: Perl_sv_cmp at /usr/lib/perl/5.8/XSLoader.pm line 68. at /usr/lib/perl/5.8/Data/Dumper.pm line 27 Compilation failed in require at /usr/local/libexec/post-proxy.pl line 31. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/libexec/post-proxy.pl line 31. Doesn't look that there's any problem with the perl script (the script doesn't do anything actually, it's just for testing purpose): root@debvm1 :/etc/freeradius#/usr/local/libexec/post-proxy.pl root@debvm1 :/etc/freeradius# I'm a real *dick* a perl programming, I guess the problem might be a pebcak, but maybe it's not. I'm using FR 1.1.2 with Debian Sarge. Thanks for any hint. regards, Fox.
