Freeradius experts, I am trying to configure freeradius to use openldap as a backend for authentication, but I can't seem to get the passwords to authenticate. It seems to have no problem binding and finding the username (uid). I am using crypt passwords in the ldap userPassword field: userPassword:: e1NTSEF9aXBWQklEYnZYSU9RdWl2V0ZtdGR5MWxIWFFsZWVCMjQ= I am not using any radius attributes. I simply want to allow any uid to authenticate. I get these results: rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 144.89.40.8:59881, id=60, length=59 User-Name = "tylertj" User-Password = "xxxxxx" NAS-IP-Address = 255.255.255.255 NAS-Port = 1812 rlm_ldap: - authorize rlm_ldap: performing user authorization for tylertj rlm_ldap: ldap_get_conn: Checking Id: 0 rlm_ldap: ldap_get_conn: Got Id: 0 rlm_ldap: (re)connect to ldap.beloit.edu:389, authentication 0 rlm_ldap: setting TLS CACert File to /etc/openldap/cacerts/cacert.cer rlm_ldap: starting TLS rlm_ldap: bind as / to ldap.beloit.edu:389 rlm_ldap: waiting for bind result ... rlm_ldap: Bind was successful rlm_ldap: looking for check items in directory... rlm_ldap: looking for reply items in directory... rlm_ldap: user tylertj authorized to use remote access rlm_ldap: ldap_release_conn: Release Id: 0 rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 144.89.40.8:59881, id=60, length=59 Sending Access-Reject of id 60 to 144.89.40.8:59881 What might I be doing wrong? I presume that the ldap server doesn't have to store the passwords in plain text, correct? I can store them in md5 or SHA1 hash if I want, correct? I did uncomment: authenticate { Auth-Type LDAP { ldap } Am I wrong to think this is now a password issue? Tim Tim Tyler Network Engineer - Beloit College tyler@beloit.edu
