I’ve been struggling with this for months.
That's always a bad sign. If something goes wrong... ask.
I found a doc HOW TO on the opensuse website. It says I have to use Samba in order to have the users authenticate. For some reason every time I get that thing configured, it works for a few days then…it’s gone.
Computers aren't magic. If data disappears, it's because something is making it disappear.
Can I set up freeradius to authenticate with ldaps and be secure?
No. Active Directory pretends to be an LDAP server. But it doesn't supply clear-text passwords when LDAP clients ask for them. So... the only way for FreeRADIUS to authenticate against AD is via Samba.
I would really be grateful for any help you could give me. I now have the radius server back to it’s original configuration….clean. So I’m ready to do your bidding.
See my web site for configuring FreeRADIUS && AD. http://deployingradius.com/documents/configuration/active_directory.html Alan DeKok.
