[Surya Teja]

Hi  Alan ,
Thanks for suggestion and i have followed the steps as per documentation
from freeradius.org  installed free radius and the tested with same example
given, its working fine.

[root at nusalxsl0983 ~]# radtest testing password 127.0.0.1 0 testing123
Sent Access-Request Id 126 from 0.0.0.0:45388 to 127.0.0.1:1812 length 77
        User-Name = "testing"
        User-Password = "password"
        NAS-IP-Address = 10.0.0.120
        NAS-Port = 0
        Message-Authenticator = 0x00
        Cleartext-Password = "password"
Received *Access-Accept* Id 126 from 127.0.0.1:1812 to 0.0.0.0:0 length 20
[root at nusalxsl0983 ~]#


but i have few other integration which needs changes in few configuration
files
I am trying to configure the cova chilli with freeradius for captive portal
as a result of it i need to integrate mysql  with freeradius
and need to change the secret key of freeradius default one(testing123) to
that of  mysql free radius user password
as suggested in forum i have modified the secrekey on following config files
*1)sudo vi /etc/raddb/mods-available/sql*
Uncomment and or change the following parameters:
driver = "rlm_sql_mysql"
dialect = ”mysql”
server = "localhost"
port = 3306
login = "*FREERADIUS_DB_USER*"
password = "*FREERADIUS_DB_PASS*"
read_clients = yes
*2)sudo vi /etc/raddb/clients.conf*
Change the password to the password used above for FreeRadius MySQL
database:
*secret* = [*FREERADIUS_DB_PASS*]

 updated above and restarted freeradius server and tried the same above
test case of with new password (secret key)now i am getting exception
in radiusd.log as
Sat Apr 20 11:37:20 2019 : Info: Dropping packet without response because
of error:* Received packet from 127.0.0.1 with invalid
Message-Authenticator!  (Shared secret is incorrect.)*
Sat Apr 20 11:37:25 2019 : Info: Dropping packet without response because
of error: Received packet from 127.0.0.1 with invalid
Message-Authenticator!  (Shared secret is incorrect.)

can i know is the this secret key needs to be updated in any other
configuration files, any idea or suggestion will be more helpful
Any help can be appreciated.

Thanks
surya
