can't get simultaneous login to work Part 1

19 Feb 2010

      Some background on what we have here:

- We have a Cisco wireless infrastructure (WLC 4400, a bunch of 1131s) and clients running SecureW2 supplicant. We want to authenticate and 

authorize them against our directory services. 
The 802.1x/EAP-TTLS/PAP method was suggested and we went with it.
- user's directory is  eDirectory and accessed via Novell LDAP v3 interface. (authentication is working and SSL secured [SLDAP])
- Radius server is on separate hardware,  OS is Novell SUSE Enterprise Linux (SLES) 10 SP3 and is NOT running eDirectory.
- FreeRADIUS  2.1.8 downloaded from FreeRADIUS.org and built from scratch with -eDIR options (compiled perfectly into RPMs and installed into 

OS perfectly).
- Config files and debug output to follow the base email below.

- I have my NAS listed in the huntgroups.config
- I set correct type of NAS in the file "/etc/raddb/clients.config". I set it to "cisco" (We assume this directs "checkrad.pl" to use that 

method)
- I set the username to SNMP, password is the community string in the clients config
- I have accounting turned on my NAS and we see accounting messages coming in when sessions expire.(see debug output below)

We can't get simultaneous login to work. We are trying to restrict simultaneous use to allow only one user to be logged at once.

(1) 

Some things that we have picked up on are that the checkrad.pl perl script is not able to access the Cisco 4400 wireless controller's data 

properly 
to access the session information. I think this may be partly us not knowing how a session is considered unique and two how the cisco section 

in the script polls
the MIB for session data. We know based on the new Cisco Airespace MIB that sessions are listed by MAC address but from there not sure how to 

map
that onto what FreeRADIUS is looking for. SNMP access to the device is working, we can see the request on the line using Wireshark and 

snmpwalk returns system data.

Perhaps it has something to do with adding Simultaneous-use parameter to 

the check items first line. I am not sure where to find "check items". 

Our usernames are coming from eDirectory and we have followed the Novell documentation on what to do there. The data is then presented to 

FreeRADIUS via LDAP.
When I go into Radius users using Novell iManager I can see some options for "check items" but none are set. 

(2) 
Another oddity is radwho. When the user logs in the first time they show up in radwho. When I have someone login again using the same 

username but on a different laptop the newest login 

overwrites the entry in radwho instead of adding to it. Should that not be a separate unique session and thus two should appear in the 

listing?

I have read the documentation:

- I installed the mrtg package (to allow the chekrad.pl to talk SNMP natively and that does work just not polling the right data we think)
- I put this line in the "/raddb/users.config" file at the top of the file (the first non commented line):

  DEFAULT Simultaneous-Use := 1
          Fall-Through = 1

We are not doing groups, everyone in our directory is allowed on the wireless so we used "DEFAULT".

Here is my debug output when I start radius:
