URGENT - HELP REQUIRED :: FreeRadius Server Configuration and Integration with LDAP

Hi all,

I am doing the configuration of FreeRadius Server version 2.1.1 on FC8. I plan to connect WiFi access points to freeRadius for AAA as a part of my project. I downloaded the source code and built it using

./configure
make
make install

But, radtest gives access-reject for any username and password. Also, when running the radius daemon : radiusd i get the following error ::

/etc/raddb/users[74]: Parse error (check) for entry Auth-Type: expecting '='
Errors reading /etc/raddb/users
radiusd.conf[1171]: files: Module instantiation failed.
radiusd.conf[1970] Unknown module "files".
radiusd.conf[1905] Failed to parse authorize section.


Initially i was trying to integrate ldap with freeradius 1.1.7 in the first go. But, it also gave the failure to parse errors. So, i just shifted the version of freradius to 2.1.1.


Following is the code in the users file that i have added ::

#DEFAULT Auth-Type = System
# Fall-Through = 1

Auth-Type := ldap
Auth-Type := local, User-Password == mypasswd
Auth-Type := System

Service-Type = Login-User

"test" User-Password == "test"

User-Name = "abc" User-Password = "cba"

"swati" Cleartext-Password := "swati"
Reply-Message = "Hello, %{User-Name}..............."


Hope this much information is sufficient. Please do help me at the earliest.

Thanking you in anticipation.

What's the output of

Code:

ls -la /etc/raddb/users

?

 

Sir,

Following is the output to ls -la /etc/raddb/users ::

-rw------- 1 radiusd radiusd 7431 2008-10-04 16:23 /etc/raddb/users

 

And what's in /etc/raddb/users?

 

The part i added in the users file is as follows ::


#DEFAULT Auth-Type = System
# Fall-Through = 1

Auth-Type = ldap
Auth-Type = local, User-Password == mypasswd
Auth-Type = System

Service-Type = Login-User

"test" User-Password == "test"

User-Name = "abc" User-Password = "cba"

"swat" Cleartext-Password := "swat"
Reply-Message = "Hello, %{User-Name}..............."


But when i run radtest; either with the username and password mentioned in the file as given above or the system username and password; it does not work.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Swati

 

I don't know FreeRadius, but is the colon in

Code:

"swat" Cleartext-Password [B][COLOR="Red"]:[/COLOR][/B]= "swat"

correct?

And what about the two = signs in

Code:

Auth-Type = local, User-Password == mypasswd

and

Code:

"test" User-Password == "test"

?

 

Freeradius SErver config & integration with LDAP !

Swati,
Freeradius 2.0.5 or 2.X for that matter is a great product. It works with lots of configurations out-of-the-box.

I would suggest u to go back to the basics. Do a clean Install. enter a user in /etc/raddb/users (a plain text user) & test it with radtest. ( with this plaintext users even the freeradius 1.7 works out-of-the-box.)
Work it from there onwards. remember baby-steps. one thing at a time.
Good luck
