Hello, I am pretty new to radius.. I have installed the latest version on Fedora Core 5. I configured my AP. But now, I can't figure out how will the wireless clients authenticate. How will they enter their username/passwords? Thanks, Onur. --------------------------------- Looking for earth-friendly autos? Browse Top Cars by "Green Rating" at Yahoo! Autos' Green Center.

This is not a radius question. Wireless clients running 802.1x will have some software (known as a supplicant) built in, which prompts for the username/password and execute the EAP traffic exchange to the AP (which is forwarded to the radius server by the AP) I suggest you do some reading on 802.1x on wireless.
When I run radiusd, it says it is running properly, but I check with netstat -n and I don't see anything listenning on port 1812. The port setting in the configuration file is '0' (which is I think 1812 by default). Is this normal? I don't think my ap can access to radius server.. Regards, Onur.

as far as i kno udp usually has no states so netstat can show nothing on port 1812 (most of the time). just a few guesses: did you try radtest or radclient? does "tcpdump udp port 1812" show any attempts of the ap to connect to the server? did you set up clients.conf? markus Zitat von "M.

No. The socket is open, so netstat should show it. Alan DeKok. -- http://deployingradius.com - The web site of the book http://deployingradius.com/blog/ - The blog

I think by default, Fedora has a pretty aggressive firewall. Open up the ports 1812 1813 tcp and udp. (For testing purposes ONLY, you can disable the firewall) Also check what the status of SELinux is in Fedora
