SQL Mac-Authentication based on Call-Check

Hi.

For better understanding. Here are the packets, the Catalyst sends to the
radius (Cisco ACS). Captured with Ethereal. The feature
(Mac-Authentication-bypass)  was tested by myself, with ACS 4.0 beta and
worked.

The switch sends three packets like that:

Radius Protocol
    Code: Access-Request (1)
    Packet identifier: 0xa9 (169)
    Length: 65
    Authenticator: 1C3208670AF4106D1619034D1BD50526
    Attribute Value Pairs
        AVP: l=8  t=User-Name(1): azbycx
        AVP: l=6  t=NAS-IP-Address(4): xx.xx.128.156
        AVP: l=13  t=EAP-Message(79) Last Segment[1]
        AVP: l=18  t=Message-Authenticator(80):
996FDE4A9B0077AAC30FA6A8AE65BC09

They are NOT answered by the ACS-radius. Btw. WHAT is username: azbycx? Some
kind of default? It is always the same username, no matter what MAC i plug
into the Switch! Cisco documentation sucks big time on this! :( Why is he
doing it, it was definitely not configured in CatOS.

----------------------

After that, it sends the "real" access-request:

Radius Protocol
    Code: Access-Request (1)
    Packet identifier: 0x1 (1)
    Length: 100
    Authenticator: 012E175F0CF11CB90FE21A16008B1613
    Attribute Value Pairs
        AVP: l=6  t=NAS-IP-Address(4): xx.xx.128.156
        AVP: l=6  t=NAS-Port(5): 110
        AVP: l=6  t=Service-Type(6): Call-Check(10)
        AVP: l=19  t=Called-Station-Id(30): 00-14-1b-xx-xx-xx
        AVP: l=19  t=Calling-Station-Id(31): 00-0e-7f-xx-xx-xx
        AVP: l=6  t=NAS-Port-Type(61): Ethernet(15)
        AVP: l=18  t=Message-Authenticator(80):
3BF52FD5838A862CD4BFBD478515982A

"Called-Station-ID" is the MAC of the Switch-Interface. "Calling-Station-ID"
is the MAC that needs to be authenticated.


I'd really appreciate, if someone could help me out on the freeradius mysql
config, based on that scenario. Thanks.

Bye Flo
