hello: would you please advice how to proceed this issue? here is what i am trying to do after authenticated with certs (compiled per "http://deployingradius.com/documents/configuration/certificates.html"): * radius will assign a vlan id* and IP address here is the configuration: user1 User-Password == "user1" Tunnel-Type = "VLAN", Tunnel-Medium-Type = "IEEE-802", Tunnel-Private-Group-ID = "vlan1", Framed-IP-Address = 10.0.0.101, Framed-IP-Netmask = 255.255.255.0, Framed-Routing = Broadcast-Listen, Framed-MTU = 1500, Framed-Compression = Van-Jacobsen-TCP-IP user2 User-Password == "user2" Tunnel-Type = "VLAN", Tunnel-Medium-Type = "IEEE-802", Tunnel-Private-Group-ID = "vlan2", Framed-IP-Address = 10.0.4.101, Framed-IP-Netmask = 255.255.255.0, Framed-Routing = Broadcast-Listen, Framed-MTU = 1500, Framed-Compression = Van-Jacobsen-TCP-IP i tested md5 first and it works (i think) but not able to bring up tunnel, so not able to get vlan id and ip addresses: Ready to process requests (0) Received Access-Request Id 148 from 100.64.8.3:51157 to 10.85.19.162:1812 length 170 (0) User-Name = "tester4" (0) NAS-Port = 82 (0) EAP-Message = 0x0200000c0174657374657234 (0) Message-Authenticator = 0xb19c034e8325fa37e7c8555a7323de40 (0) Acct-Session-Id = "8O2.1x81310900000b65a7" (0) NAS-Port-Id = "ge-0/0/16.0" (0) Calling-Station-Id = "08-ed-2a-81-00-00" (0) Called-Station-Id = "00-26-88-7c-c4-00" (0) NAS-Identifier = "jtac-EX4200-48T-r064" (0) NAS-Port-Type = Ethernet (0) # Executing section authorize from file /usr/local/etc/raddb/sites-enabled/default (0) authorize { (0) policy filter_username { (0) if (&User-Name) { (0) if (&User-Name) -> TRUE (0) if (&User-Name) { (0) if (&User-Name =~ / /) { (0) if (&User-Name =~ / /) -> FALSE (0) if (&User-Name =~ /@[^@]*@/ ) { (0) if (&User-Name =~ /@[^@]*@/ ) -> FALSE (0) if (&User-Name =~ /\.\./ ) { (0) if (&User-Name =~ /\.\./ ) -> FALSE (0) if ((&User-Name =~ /@/) && (&User-Name !~ /@(.+)\.(.+)$/)) { (0) if ((&User-Name =~ /@/) && (&User-Name !~ /@(.+)\.(.+)$/)) -> FALSE (0) if (&User-Name =~ /\.$/) { (0) if (&User-Name =~ /\.$/) -> FALSE (0) if (&User-Name =~ /@\./) { (0) if (&User-Name =~ /@\./) -> FALSE (0) } # if (&User-Name) = notfound (0) } # policy filter_username = notfound (0) [preprocess] = ok (0) [chap] = noop (0) [mschap] = noop (0) [digest] = noop (0) suffix: Checking for suffix after "@" (0) suffix: No '@' in User-Name = "tester4", looking up realm NULL (0) suffix: No such realm "NULL" (0) [suffix] = noop (0) eap: Peer sent EAP Response (code 2) ID 0 length 12 (0) eap: EAP-Identity reply, returning 'ok' so we can short-circuit the rest of authorize (0) [eap] = ok (0) } # authorize = ok (0) Found Auth-Type = eap (0) # Executing group from file /usr/local/etc/raddb/sites-enabled/default (0) authenticate { (0) eap: Peer sent packet with method EAP Identity (1) (0) eap: Calling submodule eap_md5 to process data (0) eap_md5: Issuing MD5 Challenge (0) eap: Sending EAP Request (code 1) ID 1 length 22 (0) eap: EAP session adding &reply:State = 0x221d73df221c7755 (0) [eap] = handled (0) } # authenticate = handled (0) Using Post-Auth-Type Challenge (0) Post-Auth-Type sub-section not found.

(0) Cleaning up request packet ID 148 with timestamp +14 i copied "client.pem" from the server to client side and tried "tls". this time i don't see any outputs from "radiusd -sX" (i think because of failed certs and 802.1x didn't even finish its process) the client side showed failed message: "Validated, Test cannot continue, a fatal error encountered when working with certificates" how could i troubleshoot this? is it an issue of certs? thanks _dave
