Apple announces FreeRADIUS in Mac OSX Leopard
http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/leopard/more.html What they don't say on that page is that FreeRADIUS is the server of choice. This means that in 2007, there will probably be 10's of 1000's of additional installations of FreeRADIUS. Once Leopard comes out, I think I'll update the main web page to say that FreeRADIUS is the #1 RADIUS server on the planet. I'm not sure of any other server with an install base of 100k individual sites... Alan DeKok. -- http://deployingradius.com - The web site of the book http://deployingradius.com/blog/ - The blog
Hi folks, now thats coincidence! I was just up to install FreeRADIUS on one of our Mac OS X 10.4 Servers and was about seeking help in doing so. Since I do not want to wait until 2007, is there any resource that shows me how to compile FreeRADIUS on Mac OS X 10.4.x? Thanks, Stephan Am 11.08.2006 um 18:54 schrieb Alan DeKok:

Hi Alan, he he, I did that already. On my MacBook Pro, I got some errors about some libraries, which made try again on a PPC machine. configure and make were successful, but upon installing, there was some error about installing the libraries. Install complained about a missing directory in /usr/local/lib, which does not created. I currently can't provide the install errors but I will on monday. I was just curious if anyone has already built FreeRADIUS on Mac OS X (Server) 10.4.x. My next question would be about hooking FreeRADUIS to our OpenDirectory server, which likely is only a matter of authLDAP. Regards, Stephan Am 11.08.2006 um 20:42 schrieb Alan DeKok:

After much struggling, I discovered darwinports. http:// www.opendarwin.org It installed freeradius with very little effort and it works great. On Aug 11, 2006, at 1:05 PM, Stephan Budach wrote:

Hmm, Darwinports is just in the stage of going dark, as it is stated on the website, but I will give it a try. Thanks, Stephan Am 11.08.2006 um 21:10 schrieb Brad Lachel:

This page is a very good starting place (I'm assuming your primary goal is to authenticate wireless users): http://homepage.mac.com/andreaswolf/public/wpaeap.html Nathan

Hi Nathan, yes, the goal is to authenticate wireless users. I have already taken a look at Andreas' web page, but the information seems a bit outdated to me. At this time I am wondering whether to go with darwinports' freeradius package or with one of the other two installers. Actually I can't figure out what this "experimental" opendirectory plugim is about and if its part of the regular FreeRADIUS source. The final setup I want to achieve is to have three groups of Accesspoints, one for internal users, one for freelancers and one for guests. The access to these accesspoints should be controlled by three corresponding groups on our OpenDirectory server, without the need to have these clients manually added to the clients file. Okay, maintaining the clients file could be done with a script as well. Is this possible with FreeRADIUS? Thanks, Stephan Am 12.08.2006 um 20:32 schrieb Nathan L. Cable:

Sorry about the long delay on the response. I'll try to add something of value to the discussion... The information on the page is dated, but it's accurate. You can also ignore some of the information, as the current stable version of FreeRadius seems to have everything set up and ready to go. All you need to do is enable the relevant sections of eap.conf (using the test certificates works), and add an entry for the base station in clients.conf. I don't run FR on a Mac server, but I did a quick test before sending this email, and everything compiled fine. Make sure you read the Mac relevant docs in the /doc directory of the distribution - there's a couple of important notes about compiling. As for grouping the access points, check out /doc/Autz-type. It describes how to set up different realms. I tried doing just that, but I haven't had any success with it. I'm going to do a separate post in the immediate future. Let me know if you've had any luck! Nathan On 8/13/06 1:22 AM, "Stephan Budach" <stephan.budach@jvm.de> wrote:

Hi Nathan, thanks for your replay - I really appreciate it. I have been busy myself with some other issues and had no time to dive deeper into FR on the Mac - but I will and I will also share any information I gain with the list. Thanks, Stephan Am 18.08.2006 um 18:48 schrieb Nathan Cable:
