Configuring Freeradius
Hi, I am new to freeradius. I am trying to get my freeradius server setup but I find I am having trouble. I am running slackware 12.1 as my OS and running freeradius version 2.1.5. All I want to do is get started on the right track. My question is the three main config files I need to edit are clients.conf, users.conf, and radiusd.conf, right? I did the radtest from the command line and get a accept reject message. Can anyone just tell me what I have to change to get me started off in the right direction? Thanks, jon

No. There is no "users.conf" file. PLEASE get the terminology correct. While it's new, it's not that difficult. Getting the terminology wrong means that you are thinking about it wrong, and that no one here will be able to understand you.

Read the FAQ. It contains instructions for what to do when "it doesn't work". It contains examples of how to test and configure the server. Alan DeKok.
Hello all, I am doing L2TPNS+FreeRADIUS load test with a third party device. We have one server running L2TPNS server and FreeRADIUS (v2.1.4) server. FreeRADIUS authenticates users from users file and assigns them IPs from IP pool configured in /module/ippool. Test is running pretty good with fewer concurrent sessions (less than 40). But as long as I start large number of concurrent sessions (say 60 for example), I can only see FreeRADIUS responding 40 requests. However on L2TPNS, I can see there are 60 sessions opened in the tunnel. But only 40 of them have IPs assigned by FreeRADIUS, the rest has no IPs at all, which reflects that FreeRADIUS only responds to 40 requests. Does anyone know what would be the reason of this behavior? Is there any documented load test for FreeRADIUS? Thanks very much XJ

Enter a user entry at the top of the users file. Exapmles are - in users file. You just need a username and password for testing. That's it. Don't make any changes to default radiusd.conf and clients.conf for locahost radtest. Ivan Kalik Kalik Informatika ISP
