Beginner need help

[Frank Wei]

Hi,

I wanted to authenticate username "testing" with password "password". First I used the "radtest" utility and I've got

radtest testing password 127.0.0.1 0 testing123
Sending Access-Request of id 132 to 127.0.0.1 port 1812
        User-Name = "testing"
        User-Password = "password"
        NAS-IP-Address = 127.0.0.1
        NAS-Port = 0
        Message-Authenticator = 0x00000000000000000000000000000000
rad_recv: Access-Accept packet from host 127.0.0.1 port 1812, id=132, length=20


Then try to use "radlogin" utility to do the authentication (I uncommented the line in file /usr/local/etc/radiusclient/servers to make the shared secret to be testing 123), I got

radlogin
($Id: radlogin.c,v 1.9 2008/01/09 07:04:18 sobomax Exp $)
-----------------------------------------------------
Linux 2.6.9-1.667smp (softdev2.local.4rf.com) (port 2)
-----------------------------------------------------

login: testing
Password:
RADIUS: /dev/pts/2local: Authentication failure


Note during the above testing, the freeradius server did not receive any request. It looks like I missed some configure in the client side as "radtest" worked.

Could somebody help me what I have missed.

Cheers,

  See etc/radiusclient.conf in the "tar" file.
