Hi, I've been trying to migrate from FreeRADIUS ver 1.1.3 to ver 3.0.4. I've setup new servers running MariaDB and FreeRADIUS 3.0.4 and have left the ver 3 config as default as possible with just changing a few things like the listen port and the SQL database parameters, and of course clients.conf and huntgroup. All looks good at first glance and the radtest utility works and returns what is expected and the debug shows Access-Accept. But when I run a "test aaa group" from the Cisco router it returns a "User rejected" and the "debug radius" outputs the following. router#test aaa group vpn-dialin-auth-test user-name cisco new-code User rejected router# Apr 18 16:01:39 SAST: RADIUS/ENCODE(00000000):Orig. component type = Invalid Apr 18 16:01:39 SAST: RADIUS/ENCODE(00000000): dropping service type, "radius-server attribute 6 on-for-login-auth" is off Apr 18 16:01:39 SAST: RADIUS(00000000): Config NAS IP: 172.16.0.1 Apr 18 16:01:39 SAST: RADIUS(00000000): Config NAS IPv6: :: Apr 18 16:01:39 SAST: RADIUS(00000000): sending Apr 18 16:01:39 SAST: RADIUS/DECODE(00000000): There is no General DB.

If I run the same test against the current live aaa group, which wuthenticates against the ver 1.1.3 FreeRADIUS, it all works fine as it should being the live setup. router#test aaa group vpn-dialin-auth user-name cisco new-code User successfully authenticated USER ATTRIBUTES service-type 0 5 [Outbound] tunnel-type 0 9 [esp] tunnel-password 0 <hidden> key-exchange 0 "ike" key-exchange 0 "preshared-key" The aaa groups are identical except the radius server defined to authenticate against and all the other bits that Cisco references are setup for the test group too. I have done the changes in the database for ver 3 like this one - changing attribute from "Password" to "Cleartext-Password" and the op to be ":=" +----+-------------+--------------------+----+-------+ | id | UserName | Attribute | op | Value | +----+-------------+--------------------+----+-------+ | 33 | user-name | Cleartext-Password | := | cisco | +----+-------------+--------------------+----+-------+ As far as the RADIUS debug is concerned all was good and successful, but clearly Cisco thinks otherwise... Please could someone point me in the correct direct as I've spent a few days now searching for this "error" to no avail...
