I am new to FreeRadius.
I have downloaded and installed FreeRadius on my 10.4 server machine and now need some pointers on getting it working. I downloaded the Radius installer (FreeRadius for OS X) from StellarRADIUS and ran the installer.
Now I need pointers for where to go next. The machine that I have installed FreeRadius on is my OpenDirectory (LDAP) master. My hope is to be able to get FreeRadius to authenticate users against the LDAP so that I can control who uses our wireless network.
Then you don't want to authenticate users against LDAP. http://deployingradius.com/documents/protocols/oracles.html You want FreeRADIUS to read the clear-text passwords from LDAP, and then do the authentication itself. Remember, LDAP is a database, not an authentication server. FreeRADIUS is an authentication server, not a database. The O'Reilly OpenLDAP book has a good chapter on getting LDAP working with FreeRADIUS. I recommend reading it.
