Hello List, Apologies if this was asked here before. I would like to configure freeRadius to send Access-Reject with values that increment with each failed attempt. I noticed in the mailing list some discussion about an "FreeRADIUS-Response-Delay-Usec" is there an attribute that would allow for full seconds delay? Something like "FreeRADIUS-Response-Delay" maybe? I could then query the database for the last delay and increment it accordingly like such: update reply { Tmp-String-0 := "%{sql:SELECT delay+delay FROM failed_login_delay WHERE username=&User-Name}" FreeRADIUS-Response-Delay := &Tmp-String-0 } I hope this does makes sense... Obviously i'm aware of the reject_delay setting in radiusd.conf but I would like to be able to increment the delay dynamically. Or is there some other obvious way to do this? Thanks in advance. Regards, Krzysztof Airspeed Telecom

Your gut feeling was pretty correct, since 3.0.10 you can use FreeRADIUS-Response-Delay and FreeRADIUS-Response-Delay-USec to override the default delay from radiusd.conf. Keep in mind that there is a maximum of 10 seconds, larger values will be set to 10. -- Herwin Weststrate

Hello Herwin, Your gut feeling was pretty correct, since 3.0.10 you can use FreeRADIUS-Response-Delay and FreeRADIUS-Response-Delay-USec to override Great, need to upgrade the system though. the default delay from radiusd.conf. Keep in mind that there is a maximum of 10 seconds, larger values will be set to 10.
Is this value hard code you know or is there other factor limiting it? If its hard coded i can probably modify it myself in the code before building. Thanks for the response and advice! Regards, Krzysztof Airspeed Telecom

It's hard-coded. And it's there for a reason. Changing it is likely to cause other problems. We don't just put things in the server at random. They exist for a reason. And the reason is best summarized as 20+ years of experience with RADIUS. Alan DeKok.

- List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html Hello Alan,
Of course I dont want to argue with experience especially 20+ times more experience than i have :) Thats why I asked. So then instead of delaying the reject would it be maybe more optimal solution to simply blacklist the user for certain amount of time? Create a database entry for user after the first failed attempt and then after 3 failed attemts blacklist for a period of time. The setup would not be much more complex than the one for incremental reject delay and it would save me the need to upgrade. I'm on version 3.0.7 right now. Does this sounds reasonable? Thanks for the help! Regards, Krzysztof Airspeed Telecom

Hello List, I have implemented the temporary blackholing as described below. I have created the following on the freeRadius server in the policy.d: blackhole_if_asshole { update control{ Tmp-String-0 := "%{sql:SELECT CONCAT(logins,'#', blackhole) FROM blackhole_table WHERE username=\"%{User-Name}\"}" } if("%{explode:&control:Tmp-String-0 #}" > 0){ if(&control:Tmp-String-0[1] != 'B'){ if("%{&control:Tmp-String-0[0]}" < 3){ update control { Tmp-String-1 := "%{sql:UPDATE blackhole_table SET logins = logins + 1 WHERE username='%{User-Name}'}" } }else{ update control { Tmp-String-1 := "%{sql:UPDATE blackhole_table SET blackhole = 'B', time_blocked = FROM_UNIXTIME('%{%{integer:Event-Timestamp}:-0}') WHERE username='%{User-Name}'}" } } } }else{ update control { Tmp-String-1 := "%{sql:INSERT INTO blackhole_table(username) VALUES('%{User-Name}')}" } } } check_if_asshole { if("%{sql:SELECT `blackhole` FROM blackhole_table WHERE username=\"%{User-Name}\"}" == 'B'){ update reply { &Reply-Message += 'Username already Blackholled' } reject } } The first policy is performed in the "Post-Auth-Type REJECT" section in the default server. The second in the "authorize" section. The offending users are placed in the database which is cleaned up periodically by CRONTAB simply deleting all users that were there for more than an hour. "mysql -u radius -psupersecretpass -e 'DELETE FROM blackhole_table WHERE `time_blocked` < (NOW() - INTERVAL 60 MINUTE);' radius" What i have found is that the users rejected in the authorise section by my policy (or any other policy that i have) are still hitting the "Post-Auth-Type REJECT" and get evaluated by my blackholing policy. What happens then is the Event-Timestamp attribute is missing and the query fails. I worked around it, as shown above, by adding the default value but this obviously give the date as beginning of the epoch. My question is can I add some return value to (or tag it somehow) request rejectef by a policy so that they wont be sent to the "Post-Auth-Type REJECT" section? And a bonus question out of curiosity is how come there is no Event-Timestamp attribute in the request after it was previously rejected by a policy, is it expected? Thanks!
