Authenticating users on cisco 3750 switch
by Jean-Francois Fortin 20 Sep '06

20 Sep '06

Hi, We are trying to use freeradius as authentication system to allow users to connect to our cisco switch (3750) for management. The radius server is running ok, we can authenticate Cisco ASA, BigIP LB against it. But when trying with the 3750, we see that the radius server accept the user and return an answer to the switch, but it doesn't work. Anyone has sample config using freeradius with cisco switch? Thanks JF Jean-Francois Fortin | Deployment Prime | OZ T: 514.390.1333 x4004 | F: 514.390.0033 | M: 514.260.6334 | jean-francois.fortin(a)oz.com

users fil vs sql
by Keith Woodworth 20 Sep '06

20 Sep '06

Ive got things working using 1.1.3, username in radcheck with crypt-password, using auth-type = Local in radgroupcheck. I'm using the flat Users file with a simple 6 line Default entry to make it all work. On my test bed this has been working quite well for the last 3 days. While this is ok, how does radius get configured to use the sql table to send the replies, not the users file? Ive tried commenting out all the files entries in radiusd.conf but radius sends back a access-accept but the client side gets rejected. Thanks, Keith

New to FreeRadius (not to Radius) and need to know about capabilities.
by Dan Geist 19 Sep '06

19 Sep '06

Greetings, all. I'm a new user that's looking at FreeRadius because of some of it's features, but I'd like to figure out if it can replicate what I'm currently doing before I start looking into a migration. My current setup does the following (with openradius, mysql, perl, and a PAM-securID module) on each packet arrival: 1) check an SQL db for the encryption key and tokenize everything (if so, continue, else exit) 2) check to see if it's an accounting packet and log it (if so, then do it then exit) 3) if it's anything else, check the SQL db to see if the username is valid. (if so, continue, else exit) 4) execute a PAM check on the valid user with the credentials just provided (which could be unix auth, securID, mysql, LDAP, whatever PAM supports) (if authenticated, continue, else exit) 5) check to see if it's one of a short list of auth-only NASs (if so, authenticate that user and exit, else continue) 6) do another SQL lookup to get the combination of VSA option values for that unique username/nas pair and return the appropriate RAD-access option along with the VSA options for that user/device combination (return packet/VSAs and exit) Now, I know that's a lot of info, but does FreeRadius have the flexibility to be able to do something like this? The big things are that it be able to do PAM auth on users and that it be able to return VSAs based on a one-to-one relationship that's stored in a MySQL db. Thanks.

Banking Time
by Prabhdeep Singh 19 Sep '06

19 Sep '06

Hi, I am trying to figure out how can i support two sets of users on same DB (radius/MySQL), where one set of users are able to bank the time, and others not. For example. User A buys a plan that is good for 2 hour.... he/she logs in and after 1 hour logs out. One day after User A is again able to log in and use the remaining 1 hour. User B buys a plan that is also good for 2 hours.... he/she logs in and after 1 hour logs out. But One day after User B is not able to log in as the time was calculated from the time, when user first logged in. Thanks. With Regards, Prabh -- Get your news at www.DailyHeadlines.NET

Re: sqlippool not working
by Peter Nixon 19 Sep '06

It turns out that sqlippool.conf was in the Makefile for 1.1.x but not for CVS head. It didnt affect us because we use an rpm. Guilherme can you please test a new cvs checkout? Also, because sqlippool is still experimental you need to explicitly enable it with ./configure --with-modules="rlm_sqlippool" Cheers Peter On Tue 19 Sep 2006 17:44, Tuyan Ozipek wrote: > Hi Peter, > > When i installed (compiled from source) the > freeradius-snapshot-20060918 tarball, the only missing thing was > the sqlippool.conf file (which i copied from some other test > environment).

Matter of Life and Death - SQL and Proxy
by Guilherme Franco 19 Sep '06

19 Sep '06

Hello, I work in a Carrier and have an important question regarding SQL query check: I need to check a value in authorize_check_query (oracle-dialup.conf) to see if the user has paid his ADSL service. If he did paid the service, the request would be proxied to the ISP radius to authenticate the user, otherwise, the access needs to be rejected. So , the query would be checked like that: authorize_check_query = "SELECT id,UserName,Attribute,Value,op,PAID FROM ${authcheck_table} WHERE Username = '%{SQL-User-Name}' AND PAID = 'YES' ORDER BY id" The problem is, If PAID != YES, the user is not found by the SELECT (correctly) but the request is still proxied to the ISP (normal proxy behaviour). What can I do to reject the request and not proxy it? Please help! Thank you.

Authenticate users against the passwd module?
by Scott Lambert 19 Sep '06

19 Sep '06

I am trying to get the ability to authenticate users from a few different password databases on the same server. To that end, I have users in the FreeBSD system password database as well as in a Linux style shadow passwd file. >From a stock FreeRADIUS 1.1.2 radius.conf file have have done: modules { ... + passwd myshadow { + filename = /home/lambert/shadow.txt + format = "*User-Name:Crypt-Password::Group:::::" + # have also tried: + format = "*User-Name:User-Password::Group:::::" + # and supplied the crypted password as the users password + hashsize = 100 + authtype = PAP # have tried with and without + # ignorenislike = no + # allowmultiplekeys = no + } ... } authorization { ... # Read the 'users' file files + myshadow # # Look in an SQL database. The schema of the database ... } authentication { ... + Auth-Type any_is_ok { + myshadow { + reject = 1 + notfound = 2 + ok = return + } + unix + } - unix ... } I've tried to make simpler changes to the authentication section such as just adding "myshadow" on the line above the original "unix" entry. But the above is where I think I want to be. I got the above format from a suggestion which used multiple LDAP instances. The FreeBSD system users are able to authenticate. If I try to list my linux style shadow passwd file module "myshadow" in the authenticate{} section of radius.conf, radiusd -X bombs out with: ... Module: Instantiated mschap (mschap) Module: Loaded passwd passwd: filename = "/home/lambert/shadow.txt" passwd: format = "*User-Name:Crypt-Password::Group:::::" passwd: authtype = "PAP" passwd: delimiter = ":" passwd: ignorenislike = yes passwd: ignoreempty = yes passwd: allowmultiplekeys = no passwd: hashsize = 100 rlm_passwd: nfields: 9 keyfield 0(User-Name) listable: no Module: Instantiated passwd (myshadow) radiusd.conf: "passwd" modules aren't allowed in 'authenticate' sections -- they have no such method. radiusd.conf[1919] Failed to parse "myshadow" subsection. Maybe that's a bug in 1.1.2? I haven't tried 1.1.3 just yet. I'm trying to make the version in the FreeBSD ports collection work before I venture out on my own. If I have to go to 1.1.3, it won't break my heart. If I remove the "myshadow" reference from the authenticate{} section, the "myshadow" users are denied: modcall[authorize]: module "suffix" returns noop for request 1 rlm_eap: No EAP-Message, not doing EAP modcall[authorize]: module "eap" returns noop for request 1 users: Matched entry DEFAULT at line 152 modcall[authorize]: module "files" returns ok for request 1 rlm_passwd: Added User-Password: 'sFE*/CZQF8saE' to config_items rlm_passwd: Added Group: '0' to config_items rlm_passwd: Adding "Auth-Type = PAP" modcall[authorize]: module "myshadow" returns ok for request 1 modcall: leaving group authorize (returns ok) for request 1 rad_check_password: Found Auth-Type System auth: type "System" Processing the authenticate section of radiusd.conf modcall: entering group authenticate for request 1 modcall[authenticate]: module "unix" returns notfound for request 1 modcall: leaving group authenticate (returns notfound) for request 1 auth: Failed to validate the user. I get the feeling that I don't understand how the rlm_passwd module is supposed to be used. I've read docs/rlm_passwd and most, if not all of the other stuff in the docs directory. I'm just missing something. -- Scott Lambert KC5MLE Unix SysAdmin lambert(a)lambertfam.org

FW: Proxy.conf
by Cliff Hayes 19 Sep '06

19 Sep '06

No reponse. Allow me to restate the question. There in instructions in radiusd.conf that say # To disable proxying, change the "yes" to "no", and comment the # $INCLUDE line. But, it appears that the $INCLUDE for proxy.conf is mandatory regardless of whether proxying is done because it contains the realms. If so, that is an error in the instructions. If not, then I'm missing something and would like to know because I am not proxying.

Conditionally adding reply pair
by Garber, Neal 19 Sep '06

19 Sep '06

I need to conditionally add a reply pair based upon Huntgroup-Name and a custom attribute. Pseudocode follows for what I'm trying to accomplish: If Huntgroup-Name == NetSensory then if LDAP-Group-Requirement == "NP-Admin" then pairadd(reply, NetSensory-Permission, "npadmin") Elsif LDAP-Group-Requirement == "NP-Read" then pairadd(reply, NetSensory-Permission, "npread") Elsif LDAP-Group-Requirement == "NP-Insight" pairadd(reply, NetSensory-Permission, "insight") Endif Endif I thought about using an external program (e.g., Perl module) in post-auth to accomplish this. Is this reasonable or is there a better way?

PGP key of the Freeradius Project
by Thibault Le Meur 19 Sep '06

19 Sep '06

Hi All, Just an email to say that I had difficulties in finding on the web the pgp key used to make the release signature: maybe I have bad eyes... anyway, I think such an important information should be obvious to retrieve. Should it be possible to have a "quick" link in the web site home page (and in the download page) to the PGP key (available at the following URL http://www.freeradius.org/pgp/aland@freeradius.org) Thanks in advance. Regards, Thibault
