Freeradius on OS X with OD, password attribute is not checked

Hi all,

I'm setting up a wireless network where users use login details provided 
by OpenDirectory + certificate. The goal is that user of the WiFi 
network must provide certificate and username with password. If the user 
is disabled in OD (via WGM - access account thick box), user must not 
access the network.



My setup:

OSX 10.4.8 Server, OpenDirectory, freeRADIUS, ZyWall 35 with WiFi AP 
using WPA Ent.

Clients: 99.9% Mac OSX 10.4.8

I got all setup, freeRADIUS 1.1.3 running, certificates, but I can't get 
the freeRADIUS to check the user password from OD.

Using radtest, I have no problems:
-------
Sending Access-Request of id 123 to 127.0.0.1 port 1812
User-Name = "12345"
User-Password = "12345"
NAS-IP-Address = 255.255.255.255
NAS-Port = 2
rad_recv: Access-Accept packet from host 127.0.0.1:1812, id=123, length=20
-------

However, when a client from WiFi logs in, username and certificate are 
the only criteria which are checked to grant access. If you can help, 
please read the debug dump below.


It seems that RADIUS has managed to decrypt the password and adds it to 
checklist:

rlm_ldap: Added password ******** in check items


... but then the access is granted anyway ... doesn't matter what you 
write in the password :-(


To achieve my goals, am I using the correct method (EAP-TLS)? When using 
unecrypted connection, I can clearly see the password attribute, but 
that defeats the whole purpose of WPA ...

I hope you guys don't mind that I dumped bits of my log & conf into this 
forum, I'm getting very frustrated ...

I have already added userPassword as User-Password ...

 From radiusd.conf:

---------

basedn = "dc=st,dc=ln"
filter = "(uid=%{Stripped-User-Name:-%{User-Name}})"
access_attr = "uid"
dictionary_mapping = ${raddbdir}/ldap.attrmap
password_attribute = userPassword
}


authorize {

eap
ldap
}

authenticate {

  Auth-Type PAP {
  pap
  }

  Auth-Type CHAP {
  chap
  }

  Auth-Type MS-CHAP {
  mschap
  }
  Auth-Type LDAP {
  ldap
  }

eap
}

I have also added "checkItem User-Password userPassword" to ldap.attrmap.



Please please help, many thanks in advance!!!!
