Hi everyone I'm using Oracle Enterprise Linux (Red Hat EL clone) and the packaged version of FreeRADIUS (1.1.3) to ultimately authenticate some Linux machines centrally. I've been following the HOWTO at http://wiki.freeradius.org/SQL_HOWTO but some of it does appear to be out of date. I've managed to successfully authenticate using the users file, but when I try to authenticate against the test data I've put in the database I'm getting the following in the logs; rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 127.0.0.1:38929, id=223, length=64 User-Name = "john.gardner" User-Password = "xxxxxxxxxx" NAS-IP-Address = 255.255.255.255 NAS-Port = 1812 Processing the authorize section of radiusd.conf modcall: entering group authorize for request 2 modcall[authorize]: module "preprocess" returns ok for request 2 modcall[authorize]: module "chap" returns noop for request 2 modcall[authorize]: module "mschap" returns noop for request 2 rlm_realm: No '@' in User-Name = "john.gardner", looking up realm NULL rlm_realm: No such realm "NULL" modcall[authorize]: module "suffix" returns noop for request 2 rlm_eap: No EAP-Message, not doing EAP modcall[authorize]: module "eap" returns noop for request 2 users: Matched entry DEFAULT at line 155 modcall[authorize]: module "files" returns ok for request 2 radius_xlat: 'john.gardner' rlm_sql (sql): sql_set_user escaped user --> 'john.gardner' radius_xlat: 'SELECT id, UserName, Attribute, Value, Op ??FROM radcheck ??WHERE Username = 'john.gardner' ??ORDER BY id' rlm_sql (sql): Reserving sql socket id: 2 rlm_sql_postgresql: query: SELECT id, UserName, Attribute, Value, Op ??FROM radcheck ??WHERE Username = 'john.gardner' ??ORDER BY id rlm_sql_postgresql: Status: PGRES_TUPLES_OK rlm_sql_postgresql: affected rows = rlm_sql: Failed to create the pair: Unknown attribute "Cleartext-Password" rlm_sql (sql): Error getting data from database rlm_sql (sql): SQL query error; rejecting user rlm_sql (sql): Released sql socket id: 2 modcall[authorize]: module "sql" returns fail for request 2 modcall: leaving group authorize (returns fail) for request 2 Finished request 2 Going to the next request Now, it appears that the problem is to do with 'Cleartext-Password' I've stored in the database, but this seems to be correct according to the HOWTO. Can anyone see the problem just from the log? Is there a list of all the correct data that could entered into the database?
