Can I connect to radius via a router that has a guestzone? It simply means that the router has an extra guestzone interface that also contains choice for PSK or EAP
From the following information I wonder why the radiusd is not responding.Remember I am trying to log in with the radius from the PC where the radius is installed. Radius is on 192.168.0.198 and I am attempting login or request from 192.168.0.198. This may also be a mistake. Maybe there will be a conflict betw 192.168.0.1 = router and 192.168.0.198 localhost. I simply dont know.
The router is a DLINK 655 The OS is SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10, ServPack 3 The radius is the freeradiu-sserver-2.1.12 Here are the fields from this zone in the router: **ROUTER PART** "Use this section to configure the guest zone settings of your router. The guest zone provide a separate network zone for guest to access Internet": --GUEST ZONE SELECTION-- Enable Guest Zone : (Yes) Wireless Band : 2.4GHz Band Wireless Network Name : EAP_sled (Also called the SSID) Enable Routing Between Zones : (No) Security Mode : WPA-Enterprise --WPA-- WPA Mode : Auto (WPA or WPA2) Cipher Type : TKIP and AES Group Key Update Interval : 3600 (seconds) --EAP (802.1x)-- "When WPA enterprise is enabled, the router uses EAP (802.1x) to authenticate clients via a remote RADIUS server." Authentication Timeout : 60 (minutes) RADIUS server IP Address : 192.168.0.198 RADIUS server Port : 1812 RADIUS server Shared Secret : testing123 MAC Address Authentication : No **CLIENT.CONF** Then I change the client.conf from localhost 127.0.0.1 to the IP of the router 192.168.0.1 #client localhost { # Allowed values are: # dotted quad (1.2.3.4) # hostname (radius.example.com) # ipaddr = 127.0.0.1 # Test with router: client router { # Allowed values are: # dotted quad (1.2.3.4) # hostname (radius.example.com) ipaddr = 192.168.0.1 # and I keep rest of it as it was. **/ETC/HOSTS/** I put in a line in /etc/hosts/ (I am not sure if it is right or necessary: # IP-Address Full-Qualified-Hostname Short-Hostname 192.168.0.1 router dlink **YAST CONFIG FOR THE USERCLIENT** I change the setup in system (YaST)from PKS key to EAP: --MODUS-- Accesspoint: (Yes) Ad hoc: no Master: no --NETWORKNAME SSID-- EAP_sled --AUTHENTICATION MODUS-- Open: no Shared key: no WPA-EAP (Yes) WPA-PSK: no EAP Modus: TTLS Identity: sigbj (as in /usr/local/etc/raddb/users) Password: testing-0 (as in /usr/local/etc/raddb/users) Anonymous identity: (left open) Client-Sert: (closed) Client-Key: (closed) Client-Key_password: whatever Server-Sert: /usr/local/etc/raddb/certs/server.csr I have made no changes in eap.conf and radius.conf I try to start the radiusd -X with these changes (the previous test on localhost is successful: "Ready to process requests." And radtest test gives the right feedback:Sending Access-Accept of id 178 to 127.0.0.1 port 1932,so this test part works) Some of the messages from the radiusd -X with the changed client.conf: ........ radiusd: #### Loading Clients #### client router { ipaddr = 192.168.0.1 require_message_authenticator = no secret = "testing123" nastype = "other" ............. ... adding new socket proxy address * port 1047 Listening on authentication address * port 1812 Listening on accounting address * port 1813 Listening on command file /usr/local/var/run/radiusd/radiusd.sock Listening on authentication address 127.0.0.1 port 18120 as server inner-tunnel Listening on proxy address * port 1814 Ready to process requests. radtest gives this: Sending Access-Request of id 207 to 127.0.0.1 port 1812 User-Name = "sigbj" User-Password = "testing-0" NAS-IP-Address = 192.168.0.198 NAS-Port = 0 Message-Authenticator = 0x00000000000000000000000000000000 radclient: no response from server for ID 207 socket 3 and radiusd consequently: Ignoring request to authentication address * port 1812 from unknown client 127.0.0.1 port 1048 Trying to login with the Knetworkmanager (KDE) on to the network gives no reaction on the server, server is just waiting, the knetworkmanager may blink or just dryrun. I have a feeling that the server is listening on the 127.0.0.1 instead on 192.168.0.1, but do not know I am of course doing a typical newbie mistake somewhere, but I do not know what. IF YOU NEED THE WHOLE RADIUSD -X LOG AT THIS POINT, PLEASE TELL ME. I have given this explanations to begin with. The problems may also be that a router of this kind cannot be used on freeradius or that the router is 100% "Windows-messed-up". -- Si St sigbj-st@operamail.com -- http://www.fastmail.fm - A no graphics, no pop-ups email service
