Testing an access-request user without the debugging mode

[Hangi Christian]

Hello Guys,

I am new in Freeradius server and also in linux and I need your help regarding the functionality of the server. I am currently using freeradius version 2.2.3  and my desktop computer is running the CentOS 6.4 linux operating. First of all, I've downloaded the uncompressed freeradius software package (freeradius-server-2.2.3.tar) from the freeradius website: http://www.freeradius.org from source code in the tar format. Then after I had to create a folder using CentOS linux in order to the freeradius server source code package to the folder, uncompressed and installed on the computer. After copied to the folder, I used the tar commands to uncompress the source code package and install it on the computer using #./configure, #make and #make install commands from the INSTALL file of the uncompressed server package. After installed, the configurations files of the RADIUS SERVER were found under /usr/local/etc/raddb directory path.
i tested the server on the debugging mode using radiusd -X and at the end of the output i saw this line  " Ready to process requests".

 I have first created a user inside the users file and I did the normal default testing with the debugging mode and the user was accepted. After that i change the clients.conf file putting my shared key and the IP Address of the switch and also configure ssh on the server side 

 I have done the AAA , Radius and SSH configurations on the switch, then I used Putty on another computer to access to the server by putting the IP address of the switch . 

 Is this the right way to access the server ? 
 i ran the debugging mode on the server and try to access using putty on another PC .
here is the result i got this :
     rad_recv: Accounting-Request packet from host 192.168.9.26 port 5001, id=151, length=122
    User-Name = "testing"

then i stopped the debugging mode. and run the server using this commands
 
 [root at chris raddb]# service radiusd restart
Stopping radiusd:                                          [  OK  ]
Starting radiusd:                                          [  OK  ]

on the user's PC side i got access denied and the server does not report on the radius.log file .
please help me and also correct me where ever i went wrong.

With Regards,
 Chris
