EAP TLS testing using eapol_test

[Naunidh S Chadha]

Hi All

I am attempting to authenticate an EAP-TLS using eapol_test tool against
FreeRADIUS Version 2.0.3.
>From last two days I am getting stumped by certificate issues. Currently I
have the following error in my
Freeradius log that seems to be the problem.

>From searching around the net I found that one issue could be that my SSL
does not understand
that server.pem is a trusted CA. To make that happen I created hashes using
the following command,

*ln -s client.pem `openssl x509 -hash -noout 5~-in client.pem`.0*

for ca.pem/server.pem and client.pem. I then pasted the hashes and .pem
files into /usr/share/ssl/certs
folder too (out of desperation :) ). After this if I ran the command
"openssl verify *.pem" in .../raddb/certs
folder, it would return OK for all pem files. IMO this is the best to test
that all certificates are in order.
I also used the command "openssl verify -CApath . *.pem" (picked it up from
Makefile) and it returned OK too.

I must add here that my setup is totally as per the docs/config file
explanations. The radiusd.conf is configured to
use EAP as per the default config, and the certs are made by running the
make command in raddb/certs folder.
I commented out bootstrap for my exploration. I ran "make client.pem" to
create client certificates.

The supplicant client uses following configuration file:

network={
        ssid="1x-test"
        key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
        eap=TLS
        identity="user at example.com"
        ca_cert="/usr/local/etc/raddb/certs/ca.pem"
        client_cert="/usr/local/etc/raddb/certs/user at example.com.pem"
        private_key="/usr/local/etc/raddb/certs/client.key"
        private_key_passwd="whatever"
        eapol_flags=3
}


Since the logs are big enough to be a torture for people reading in digest
mode, I have put them at
http://naunidh.googlepages.com/logs

It has output of radiusd -XXX followed by logs of eapol_test tool.

My OpenSSL version is 9.7a (supported by Freeradius), My next step would be
to upgrade this but it does not
look like an OpenSSL issue, Upgrading this would be a pain at the moment as
lot of people are dependent on the
setup, but this is the only recourse left from my side.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry for the long mail, but I could not shorten it any more without missing
something important.

Thanks All
