Hi Tim -

Thanks Tim, that worked, although is that up to each AP manf as to what it sends? I have HP420s. I changed the password field to match the MAC and it authenticated (I think), but I didn't get an IP. The 420 I'm using hands out an IP fine when I turn off the MAC auth and have it wide open, so it's talking to my DHCP server fine.

Any more ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thx - Steve

Steve,

 

Your wireless access point is sending the MAC address as the username and password. Change the username and password in the users file and the authentication will work.

        User-Name = "00215c-08b25d"         <---  This came from the wireless access point
        User-Password = "00215c-08b25d"    <---  This came from the wireless access point

Subject: FR Using MAC Authentication

 

Hi -

I have just started tinkering with Freeradius, I built an Ubuntu 8.10 server box and installed FR --> sudo apt-get install freeradius*. It installed in a breeze and tested fine. I have setup a HP420 AP for testing, it's chattering with the FR box fine (I think).

I want my wireless clients to do MAC authentication via the FR box. I have setup my users file to auth two of my test laptops:

000E35-84610A Auth-Type := Local, User-Password == "esradius"
00215C-08B25D Auth-Type := Local, User-Password == "esradius"

When either tries to connect up, in the FR debug I see:

rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 10.10.18.241:2160, id=7, length=53
        User-Name = "00215c-08b25d"
        User-Password = "00215c-08b25d"
  Processing the authorize section of radiusd.conf

The authentication eventually fails:

rlm_pap: WARNING! No "known good" password found for the user.  Authentication may fail because of this.

Why is the User-Password the MAC address and not what is specified in the users file? I have only tweaked the users and clients.conf files.

Just simple MAC authentication, that's all I want at this point.

Thanks in advance!

- Steve
