debug log

[Ryan McGuire]

The link below is what I followed to setup my freeradius server

https://docs.beamnetworks.dev/en/linux/networking/freeradius-install

I believe I followed this all correctly, from here what would be my next step as far as sharing the debug logs and trying to authenticate with my mikrotik router?

Thank you

As Mr DeKok said, RADIUS is sodding complicated.  I found that using

tools like radclient and running the server in debug mode really gets

things into perspective.  Read the output carefully.



Run the job and grab the logs.  Now leave your computer and go and grab

a cup of tea/smoke a fag/say a mantra or whatever: You do you!  Pass

the logs through something like lnav or notepad++ or whatever gets some

colour and context into them on your OS.  Take a deep breathe and start

reading critically.



There are a lot of moving parts with RADIUS and you need to eliminate

silly things. such as a miss typed/pasted secret or a complete miss

understanding of what on earth is going on!



There is no easy tutorial for all eventualities but your use case is

pretty standard as far as I can tell.



Bon chance



Cheers

Jon
