Sorry as I am not an expert in radius but if I do not set "Auth-Type = LDAP" how do I ensure that the authentication goes thru ldap.
LDAP is an authentication server? That's news to me.
All the users have their passwords stored in ldap and therefore I hope to utilise the ldap to do the authentication.
LDAP is a database. Let FreeRADIUS read the passwords from LDAP, and have FreeRADIUS do the authentication.
FreeRADIUS is an authentication server. LDAP is not.
Hi Alan, Melvin, LDAP does provide some authentication -- through the 'BIND' statement. Incidentally, this is how the FreeRadius rlm_ldap module chooses to authenticate against an LDAP entry... it attempts to 'bind' to it, passing the username and password to LDAP. I have successfully integrated FreeRadius & LDAP -- I can get you my config entries if you would like. It worked with OpenLDAP practically out-of-the-box. -kb -- Kris Benson, CCP, I.S.P.
