Configuring freeRADIUS and NAS

[Madhuraka Godahewa]

Hi All,

First of all, let me thank for all those, who helped me to configure the 
freeRADIUS server. I have installed freeRADIUS 1.0.5 recently and configured 
it. I tested the server using RADIUS Test Client utility from IEA Software and 
it works well (both for authentication and accounting).

Then, I configured a LinkSys WRT54G as a NAS and I configure it to make use of 
the freeRADIUS server to authenticate users. Now I can connect to the network 
using an XP Supplicant through the LinkSys WRT54G after authenticating through 
the RADIUS server (using PEAP). 

Now, I have a problem with the Session-Timeout attribute. With the Access-
Accept packet, I send the Session-Timeout and Terminate-Action attributes to 
the NAS, but the NAS does not terminate the session as specified in the Session-
Terminate parameter. And the NAS does not send any Account-Start or Account-
Stop packets to the RADIUS server. 

Is this a problem with the configuration of the NAS or is it a limitation of 
the NAS? Have any body tried using LinkSys WRT54G as the NAS to do RADIUS 
accounting? I use the orginal firmware, which comes with the WRT54G.


Thanking You.,
