Freeradius 1.1.3 installed via YUM on Fedora (not suse :P) radiusd.conf: http://pastebin.ca/447690 radiusd -X -A output: http://pastebin.ca/447693 domain: tfxschool.internal ADS: tfxschoolfs01.tfxschool.internal Hi again people, I have been pouring through the oreillys LDAP book (quite informative so far to btw). I got the example of using freeradius against the linux passwd file working fine. I tried their Freeradius and OpenLDAP (now I know ADS isnt OpenLDAP btw) and it fails with the following message: rlm_ldap: ldap_search() failed: Operations error Oriellys one reccomended for OpenLDAP (errors, possibly due to incorrect syntax ?): filter = "(&(objectclass=posixAccount)(uid=%{Stripped-User-Name:-%{User-Name}}))" Default filter (Fails with same search error): filter = "(uid=%{Stripped-User-Name:-%{User-Name}})" Im wondering if it is perhaps my basedn ?, Im still getting used to the idea of them, the user jacob (me) resides in the ou people FYI. basedn = "ou=people,dc=tfxschool,dc=internal" Thats all my info atm, Im currently compiling a 1.1.6 rpm (after Alan resolving my silly little mistake) and will test then report back as I feel its more likely a config error than a bug :) If some1 else has a working radius setup that auths againts AD using LDAP would they mind sending me the ldap { } section, would be very handy to compare my config to a working one. Thanks all, keep up the good work.
