Hi all of you. First, i wish you a happy new year ! :) Well, i have a little problem with freeradius. I have installed it on Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS. Here is my project. I want to make a radius server where users can use an username and password to logon on access points. But nothing more and nothing less. I have configured the radius server for EAP-MD5 authentification but when i try to test the configuration with freeradius -XXX, i get this message at the end : Fri Jan 2 18:13:27 2015 : Info: FreeRADIUS Version 2.1.10, for host i686-pc-linux-gnu, built on Feb 24 2014 at 15:16:51 Fri Jan 2 18:13:27 2015 : Info: Copyright (C) 1999-2009 The FreeRADIUS server project and contributors.

My configuration is the next : Freeradius Database : MySQL 2 NIC connected and configured. DHCP service ON and working for eth1. The access points are configured with WPA2 Enterprise security and i have given the radius server IP with the shared key. I have already tested the basic configuration of freeradius before testing with EAP-MD5 and it worked. If someone can help me about this... That'll help me a lot. Thanks in advance.
