Setup: - FreeRADIUS 1.0.4 built with edir on FreeBSD 4.11 server. - Cisco 3005 VPN Concentrator - LDAP database on NetWare 6.5 server Everything works fine when not use SSL certificate and TLS. However, when TLS is turned on, here is what I get: -----snip----- Listening on authentication *:1812 Listening on accounting *:1813 Listening on proxy *:1814 Ready to process requests. rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 10.254.1.6:1063, id=27, length=118 User-Name = "username" User-Password = "password" NAS-Port = 1028 Service-Type = Framed-User Framed-Protocol = PPP Called-Station-Id = "10.254.1.6" Calling-Station-Id = "69.152.48.158" Tunnel-Client-Endpoint:0 = "69.152.48.158" NAS-IP-Address = 10.254.1.6 NAS-Port-Type = Virtual Processing the authorize section of radiusd.conf modcall: entering group authorize for request 0 modcall[authorize]: module "preprocess" returns ok for request 0 rlm_realm: No '@' in User-Name = "stcrye", looking up realm NULL rlm_realm: No such realm "NULL" modcall[authorize]: module "suffix" returns noop for request 0 rlm_ldap: - authorize rlm_ldap: performing user authorization for stcrye radius_xlat: '(cn=username)' radius_xlat: 'o=services' rlm_ldap: ldap_get_conn: Checking Id: 0 rlm_ldap: ldap_get_conn: Got Id: 0 rlm_ldap: attempting LDAP reconnection rlm_ldap: (re)connect to 10.254.8.25:389, authentication 0 rlm_ldap: setting TLS CACert File to /home/juser/trustedrootcertssl-certdns-episd1.b64 rlm_ldap: starting TLS rlm_ldap: ldap_start_tls_s() rlm_ldap: could not start TLS Connect error rlm_ldap: (re)connection attempt failed rlm_ldap: search failed rlm_ldap: ldap_release_conn: Release Id: 0 modcall[authorize]: module "ldap1" returns fail for request 0 modcall: group authorize returns fail for request 0 Finished request 0 Going to the next request --- Walking the entire request list --- Waking up in 6 seconds... rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 10.254.1.6:1063, id=27, length=118 Discarding duplicate request from client VPN:1063 - ID: 27 --- Walking the entire request list --- Waking up in 2 seconds... --- Walking the entire request list --- Cleaning up request 0 ID 27 with timestamp 431712ab Nothing to do.
