Hi I'm having troubles setting up EAP-PEAP with freeradius (2.1.0) + hostapd (0.6.9) + wpa_supplicant (0.6.6) What I've done is mostly to follow http://tldp.org/HOWTO/8021X-HOWTO/freeradius.html Which basically is to update eap.conf to use peap and add my login details to the users file:

"testuser" User-Password == "Secret149"

That howto is years out of date. In 2.x peap works by default - you don't need to make any changes to configuration files. Just put this (password attribute and operator should be changed) in users file:

testuser Cleartext-Password := "Secret149"

If you have troubles still, post the whole debug (not just pointless snip).

Thanks for your quick response. I purged all my old configuration and did a reinstall. This time only updated the users file by adding the line above but with the same result.

Hi, Per, if you read the debug log you will clearly see the problem. (cutting everything until the auth occurring.

there. look. its not EAP. the server tells you this...and you can clearly see this isnt EAP. this is just plain PAP - even worse, its nothing to do with your username - this is a very dumb MAC address PAP. you'd find that if you put "0016dbd4b7d5" Cleartext-Password := "0016dbd4b7d5" into your users file this would probably work straight away..but do you want PAP - if you want EAP, configure your NAS to do EAP (from the other log entries, looks like this NAS doesnt send proper accounting data either) alan

So maybe I should ask on the hostap mailing-list instead?

No.

Basically I've configured hostapd to use freeradius as the authentication and accounting server, so I can't understand what I would have to change to configure it to use peap instead.

You need to set that on your AP. AP is set to do mac authentication, not EAP (probably called WPA-Enerprise). Fix AP configuration. Ivan Kalik Kalik Informatika ISP

Hi,

Nearly all of them haven't been updated in *years*. i.e. Since long before 2.0 was released. They are not just wrong, they are actively harmful.

yeh. most of them are from 2006/2007 era and are 'heres how I configured FreeRADIUS 1.x in some wierd way to do this' - which, whilst may have been appropriate then, the server has been massively upgraded and improved to basically work out of the source ball with minimal extra work - eg EAP stuff, certificates, database, inner authentication and handling multiple servers. alan
