EAP with FreeRadius and Azure Active Directory

[Graeme Gellatly]

Thanks Alan,


That guide is for Active Directory, not Azure Active Directory which is very different.  I was actually reading it when your mail came in.  The auth workflow is oauth2 based for Azure, no NTLM.


Guess I'll need to experiment with the new Domain Services feature of Azure and a VPN.  There are reports of it working with other radius servers.  Bit that sucks is I already had samba authenticating using oauth.


Will report back, once I've had a decent crack at it.

  Good.

  Bad.  PAM is crap.  Don't use it.

  Not for PEAP.  It's impossible, because there is no clear-text password.

  Many people have done this over the years.  It's complex, but not difficult.  Follow my guide, and it will work.

  And don't use PAM.
