Configuration of FreeRADIUS on Ubuntu/Debian with OPEN-LDAP Authentication
Hello everyone, I am the new member of this list, I just joined today and this is my first question so please ignore any unknown mistake(s) ! I have *Ubuntu Server edition 8.04.3* configured with samba with * open-ldap(slapd)* authentication which works pretty well I also installed *FreeRADIUS 2.1.7*, I was able to configure it but very basic like I am using users file for user names and passwords etc. Now I am trying to setup freeradius for ldap authentication so I dont have to add separate users in users file but can use ldap users instead, for Free-radius authentication I am a student so just want to do it for learning purposes. I would appreciate if someone can help me with that or can direct me to the right directions, howtos etc.. I googled it lot but did not come to any comprehensive solution. Thanks guys -- Ryaz Khan
Hi,
I googled it lot but did not come to any comprehensive solution.
http://wiki.freeradius.org/Rlm_ldap you need to ensure that the FreeRADIUS LDAP module can talk to your LDAP server - check the LDAP configuration in FreeRADIUS to ensure that the configuration, password etc etc is fine (modules/ldap in FR 2.x) then, enabled the ldap section in the required part of your configuration - ie you want to authenticate users or authorise them via ldap? uncomment the required line in eg inner-server (if using EAP) or default otherwise. the config file supplied by default should be fairly verbose - i cant say what the version you get after the pakcage maintainer has done their work on it - but , if in doubt, download the source tarball from freeradius.org and check the default contents of the raddb directory! finally, run in full debug mode radiusd -X and sniff/lof the LDAP server to ensure things are doing what you expect alan

You'll probably learn this the hard way anyway, but don't try to google for freeradius. Most of those hits will be outdated, even if it is on the topic you're searching for. 1) Search the docs installed with freerad. 2) Search the freerad website/wiki. 3) This mailing list. ~Justin
