service messages
by Franks Andy (RLZ) IT Systems Engineer 13 Oct '14

Hi all, Is the v2 functionality of service_messages etc (under the logging bit of radiusd.conf) in v3? I'd like to configure some standard error messages to be in one place and refer to them in policies etc without having to dig out where they are at.. Something like service_messages { # invalid mac address mac_address_incorrect = "the mac address format is invalid" } Then in policies etc Reply-Message := "${service_messages.mac_address_incorrect}" That sort of thing. Am I missing some obvious documentation somewhere? Apologies if so. Thanks Andy

Hi, While printing statistics using radmin I saw following statistics: elapsed.1us elapsed.10uselapsed.100uselapsed.1ms...... Please tell me what elapsed is doing and which elapsed time it is showing us. Also, please tell me that while setting radius proxy servers which talks to main radius server,where do we have to include main radius server ip in radius proxy servers conf that is in which file.  Regards,Himanshu From: Alan DeKok <aland(a)deployingradius.com> Sent: Mon, 13 Oct 2014 01:43:33 To: FreeRadius users mailing list <freeradius-users(a)lists.freeradius.org> Subject: Re: [SOLVED] LDAP bind user authentication Stefan Paetow wrote: > Good question… I guess it would make sense to remove it… Arran? Alan? Am happy to send a patch to add both bits into the next release… :-)  You can still list "ldap" in the "authenticate" section.  It works. That functionality won't be removed.  What was removed was the *automatic* setting of Auth-Type := LDAP. That worked sometimes, but was often wrong.  Alan DeKok. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

[SOLVED] Re: LDAP bind user authentication

I didn't try this solution because it clearly says in the config files "Auth-Type = LDAP is almost always wrong". Is the section Auth-Type LDAP { ldap } now obsolete? Why is it there in the first place, since the comment above sounds to me pretty much like what i want. > If you use FreeRADIUS 3.0.x, this becomes a *LOT* easier and straight-forward. The FreeRADIUS guys have built a repository for all major Linux platforms, so you can upgrade to the newest without waiting for your distribution to catch up. Didn't knew that, maybe i'll upgrade. Thanks for the notice.

Configuring Windows 7 for a WPA2-Enterprise (EAP-TLS) Secured Wireless Network
by Jasvinder S. Bahra 12 Oct '14

12 Oct '14

Hi, I have setup a WPA2-Enterprise secured WiFi Access Point that authenticates connections via FreeRadius v3.0.4, using EAP-TLS running on a FreeBSD machine. Please note that I generated a CA certificate, a server certificate, the various client certificates and the Diffie Hellman file using the ssl-admin tool. I created a client certificate for an android device by creating a "one-step request/sign" in ssl-admin, and then created a keyfile bundle using openssl via a command that looks something like this... openssl pkcs12 -export -out client_android.p12 -in ./active/client_android.pem -inkey ./active/client_android.key -certfile /usr/local/etc/ssl-admin/active/ca.crt I imported the generated file onto the device, and it can now successfully access the secured wireless network. I now need to do something similar for a Microsoft Windows 7 machine. From what I have been able to determine, I need to install two certificates - a CA certificate in the machines trusted root certificate authority store, and a client certificate in the machines personal certificate store. I installed the ca.crt file in the trusted root certificate authority store. I generated a client certificate using ssl-admin again, and then created a bundle file, via a command that looks something like this... openssl pkcs12 -export -out client_win7_bundle.p12 -in ./active/client_win7.crt -inkey ./active/client_win7.key I then installed the bundle file in the personal certificate store. On the client machine, I then navigated to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Centre > Manage wireless networks > Add button > Manually create a network profile. I entered a network name, selected "WPA2-Enterprise" for the security type, AES as the encryption type, and clicked the Next button. I then clicked Change connection settings and then the Security tab. I changed the network authentication method to "Microsoft: Smart card or other certificate". I then selected advanced settings, and changed the authentication method to computer authentication. I clicked OK and then clicked the Settings button. In the Trusted Root Certification Authorities list, I selected the CA certificate installed earlier, and then OK'd all the dialogs to save the configuration. Unfortunately, whenever I try and connect to the network, the connections fails to establish. If I run freeradius in debug mode, it clearly displays the access request whenever I connect from my android client. However, when the windows client tries, freeradius doesn't seem to respond. To me, that strongly suggests the problem is on the windows side of things. Does anyone have any suggestions for a way forward? Regards, Jazz

LDAP bind user authentication
by jopo jopo 12 Oct '14

12 Oct '14

Hello there, I spend countless hours on this topic. The farthest i could get was this topic from 2008: http://www.mail-archive.com/freeradius-users@lists.freeradius.org/msg49999.… Freeradius version: 2.1.12 on debian Basically followed this guide: http://jitendrakumaryogi.blogspot.de/2013/10/step-by-step-free-radius-confi… so ldap is configured in authorize section in default server and as authorize and authentication in inner-tunnel. I would like to use EAP-TTLS-PAP. The aim is to authorize via LDAP by binding anonymously and just looking up the uid, start an EAP-TTLS tunnel, tunnel the request to the inner-tunnel server and there use the clear password send by the supplicant in the following tunneled request to bind with the credentials against the LDAP server. If the bind is successfull the auth should be considered successfull. It works _if_ i provide a manager login to the ldap server so the ldap module can find the user and add a good password, **but if i delete those credentials it fails.** The whole process reaches the point where the authorize section in inner-tunnel is executed. It says: ..... [ldap] user pete authorized to use remote access [ldap] ldap_release_conn: Release Id: 0 ++[ldap] returns ok ++[expiration] returns noop ++[logintime] returns noop ++[pap] returns noop ERROR: No authenticate method (Auth-Type) found for the request: Rejecting the user Failed to authenticate the user. [ttls] Got tunneled reply code 3 [ttls] Got tunneled Access-Reject [eap] Handler failed in EAP/ttls [eap] Failed in EAP select ++[eap] returns invalid Failed to authenticate the user. ...... So why is that? I set the set_auth_type in module/ldap to yes since what's described there is exactly the behaviour i'd like. Why it says that no authenticate method is set? What can i do that LDAP is doing the authentication at this point? Thanks in advance. I hope i delivered al Infrormation needed. JoVaRi

New in 3.0.5: Detail file reader tracking
by Alan DeKok 11 Oct '14

11 Oct '14

This is a feature which people have been asking about for a long time. It's finally here in 3.0.5. When configured with "track = yes", the detail file reader will track its progress through the detail file. When it has successfully read and processed an entry from the file, that entry is marked as "done". That means if the server is restarted, it will quickly scan through the detail file, and ignore the records marked "done". It will then continue processing the next (unfinished) entry. This change means that detail file entries will be processed once, and only once. It also means that the server will make progress through the detail files much more quickly when it's restarted.

is it possible to setup multiple user definitions with different privileges when using an ldap backend?
by Les Stott 10 Oct '14

10 Oct '14

Hi, I have freeradius 2.1.12 of rhel6 which uses freeipa as an ldap backend. All is working fine. The config I have setup is as follows: Ldap group sys_admins = contains users who get privileges to authenticate and login radius based devices (cisco routers/switches, ucs, f5, brocade). Radius config for ldap module checks group sys_admins for membership. (/etc/raddb/modules/ldap) groupname_attribute = cn groupmembership_filter = "(|(&(objectClass=GroupOfNames)(member=%{check:Ldap-UserDn})))" groupmembership_attribute = sys_admins In /etc/raddb/users I have... DEFAULT Ldap-Group == "cn=sys_admins,cn=groups,cn=accounts,dc=mydomain,dc=com" Auth-Type :=Accept, Service-Type = "NAS-Prompt-User", Cisco-AVPair = "shell:roles*\"admin network-admin vdc-admin\"", Cisco-AVPair += "shell:priv-lvl=15", Fall-Through = No, F5-LTM-User-Role = 0, F5-LTM-User-Info-1 = administrator, F5-LTM-User-Partition = common, F5-LTM-User-Shell = tmsh, Brocade-Auth-Role+= "admin", Brocade-AVPairs1+= "HomeLF=0", Brocade-AVPairs2+= "LFRoleList=admin:0-255", Brocade-AVPairs3+= "ChassisRole=admin" DEFAULT Auth-Type := Reject Reply-Message="You do not have permission to access this device.", Fall-Through = Yes This is all working fine. My problem is that I need to have a user setup in ldap for monitoring purposes (using icinga), which should be a read only based user for the ucs and not have access to the brocade, f5 or other cisco devices. I've tried a lot of different configs and nothing has worked. Adding a specific user definition to /etc/raddb/users with appropriate privilege levels doesn't help as it seems to still require that the user belong to the ldap group sys_admins, which means they get access to all devices. Does anyone know of a way to have multiple user definitions in /etc/raddb/users with ldap backends with differing privilege levels? Could the ldap module be duplicated like the files module which allows a second users file? Is it even possible? Any alternatives? Thanks, Les
