Dear friends, I have added clients client private-network-1 { ipaddr = 192.168.0.244 netmask = 24 secret = testing123-1 shortname = private-network-1 } To the clients.conf. And run command "radius -X". From the debug message I can see the added client loaded. Then from my NAS (with IP 192.168.0.244) I sent a "authentication only" request to the server. The server showed me a message: Ignored,.....Unrecognized client "192.168.0.244" port "1222". What is wrong with my config?

My understanding is that source IP address of the Access-Request packets must be the NAS IP address which is "NAS-IP-Address". Apparently this is different to the Attribute description.

Could anybody explain?

sure. the NAS-IP-Address is set by the NAS - so it SHOULD be its IP address in a nice world. okay thats clear....however, the packet might be reaching your RADIUS server via some other route - lets say, eg a NAT gateway, a RADIUS server (it has been proxied) or from some central controller (thinking of some of the WiFi solutions out there) - in which case the NAS-IP-Address is NOT the source IP address of the packet. the NAS-IP-Address is also part of the RADIUS datagram - so you've already started to analyse the packet contents really before you can - eg how did you ensure the packet contents were correct, verify the message authenticator or ensured the content values by using the shared secret? you didnt. the RADIUS datagram comes in. you see the source address of the packet. look up the client, get its shared secret, work on the packet. alan - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

Hi, I believe it is the same clients.conf the server reads in. When I use command "radius-X" the output shows the new client is configured.

To the clients.conf.

which file did you edit? the same clients.conf that the server reads in (check its path in radiusd -X output_ alan - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

Hi, I've just installed "freeradius" in another linux PC running UBUNTU as my old linux PC has some issues. In this version of "freeraius" I have to run command "freeradius -X" (rather than "radius -X"). The output shows an error message of Failed binding to authentication address * port 1812: Address already in use /etc/freeradius/radiusd.conf[240]: Error binding to port for 0.0.0.0 port 1812 What is the reason it is not working?

Hi,

client private-network-1 { ipaddr = 192.168.0.244 netmask = 24 secret = testing123-1 shortname = private-network-1 }

how about just client private-network-1 { ipaddr = 192.168.0.244 secret = testing123-1 shortname = private-network-1 } ? alan
