Support for WiMAX VSA

Hi Walter,

We fixed the freeradius so that the WiMAX VSA may be downloaded to the 
ASNGW after
EAP completion. We have not enhanced freeradius to be AAA server in a 
WiMAX network.
We download the MSK from freeradius to our ASNGW. Based on the downloaded 
MSK
our ASNGW generates the AK context and hence the required keys. Freeradius 
only
provides the key material, generation is part of our ASNGW. Hope this 
explanation helps.

We can work towards making freeradius a complete AAA server for the WiMAX 
network.

Regards
Nitin

OK, I'll rephrase that ... "if anyone on this list has a 3.0beta10 install
they can test with".  :)

Does anyone have actual examples of radclient (or other 
command-line tools) being used to test Freeradius using Windows 
Active Directory authentication via samba/ntlm_auth?

I'd like to be able to test Radius authentication for various 
different categories of user on our Active Directory.

Presumably this involves PEAP/MSCHAPv2 I can't work out how to 
do it without using a Windows client and a wireless 
infrastructure we don't have yet. (or even if it is doable)

I can use radclient to test PAP and "straight" CHAP against 
locally defined users with cleartext passwords. Time to go one 
step further.

you dont need wireless to do such testing - there are plenty
of ethernet switches out there that do 802.1x and can throw
the EAP authentication to your RADIUS box...
....with this in mind, you could use wpa_supplicant on linux
- yes it does wired 802.1x nicely... eg have this in the config

    eap=PEAP
    identity="domain\username"
    password="secret_password"
    ca_cert="/etc/cert/ca.pem"
    phase1="peaplabel=0"
    phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"

or..since you're playing with wpa_supplicant..use its handy tool
eapol_test  - very useful. 

of course, with wired 802.1x you can also play with the windows client
and get used to its quirks and foibles.

I have an idle routerboard waiting for a replacement wifi mini-pci. It
has routeros 2.9 but somehow I am not tempted to try the upgrade:

upgrade to 3beta & failed logins:
http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=17128

On liked topic things go from bad to worse - it seems that the wireless
package is working as well as setup command in beta:

RB133c and 3.10b:
http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=16502&p=80766

And since routerboard has flash memory and not HDD for storing OS I am
not so sure what would happen to the licence after the
upgrade/downgrade. Not particularly keen to find out :-(

You don't need to do PEAP to test ntlm_auth, just MSCHAP.

Hello All,

Hi I am Nitin Naveen working with HUGHES SYSTIQUE. We have been working to
enhance freeradius to support WiMAX VSA (as per WiMAX NWG forum). WiMAX
VSA are not the typical type-length-value rather they have 
type-length-controlinfo-value.
We have enhanced the dictionary but we were not able to generate the 
attributes 
as per the WiMAX NWG format. For now we have developed our own 
rlm_hsc_wimax
module.  We like to contribute to freeradius so that the WiMAX VSA are 
supported as
part of the standard distribution. To this end we can share our code. But 
before that
we would like to follow the correct procedure for releasing the code. Your 

inputs and
suggestion are awaited.

Hi Nitin,

Question on your planned contribution to FreeRADIUS: Does your module
support the key generation algorithms for the WiMAX mobility keys?
Specifically, is your module able to correctly generate the
MN-HA-MIP4-KEY and related key material from the EMSK derived as part
of the EAP exchange?

Personally this was seen as the biggest challenge towards building NWG
compliance into FreeRADIUS as opposed to VSA format.

Thanks,
Walter
