I do an eap/tls authentication and after that an ad search. This works so far. But when setting the groupmembership in the ldap1 section, there are problems. I do not see the usual eap messages flying around, but nevertheless radius sends an Access-Accept: rlm_ldap::ldap_groupcmp: User found in group 515^M rlm_ldap: ldap_release_conn: Release Id: 0^M users: Matched entry DEFAULT at line 25^M modcall[authorize]: module "files" returns ok for request 0^M modcall: leaving group authorize (returns updated) for request 0^M rad_check_password: Found Auth-Type Accept^M rad_check_password: Auth-Type = Accept, accepting the user^M Sending Access-Accept of id 0 to 149.246.133.44 port 32770^M Tunnel-Type:0 = VLAN^M Tunnel-Medium-Type:0 = 802^M Tunnel-Private-Group-Id:0 = "Core1"^M Finished request 0^M On the client side, where I have eapol_test, I get an error: STA 00:00:00:00:00:02: Received RADIUS packet matched with a pending request, round trip time 0.24 sec No Message-Authenticator attribute found Incoming RADIUS packet did not have correct Message-Authenticator - dropped STA 00:00:00:00:00:02: No RADIUS RX handler found (type=0 code=2 id=0) - dropping packet This is from my radiusd.conf: When it is there, radius sends an Access-Accept. ldap ldap1 { server = "globalcatalogue" port = 3268 #global catalogue server identity = "testrad@TDE002.MYDOM.NET" password = "mypass" basedn = "dc=MYDOM,dc=NET" filter = "(&(servicePrincipalName=%{Stripped-User-Name:-%{User-Name}})(objectClass=computer)(!(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)))" ldap_debug= 0xFFFF timeout = 40 timelimit = 30 net_timeout = 10 tls { start_tls = no } dictionary_mapping = ${raddbdir}/ldap.attrmap groupmembership_attribute = "primaryGroupID" } authorize { preprocess eap ldap1 { notfound = reject } files } The complete output of radius -AX is lengthy and therefore nor included. It can be found at: http://www.wegener-net.de/fr/bad-group , where the error occurs, http://www.wegener-net.de/fr/ok-nogroup , where the authentication works as expected. As mentioned above, the only difference in the configuration is the use of groupmembership. Any hints are really appreciated. Thanks Norbert Wegener
