Freeradius package - user expiration not working (FIX)

Slam

Hello,

when using freeradius package from pfsense, certain attributes for users arent saved to /usr/local/raddb/users when editing via webgui, like expiration and I think simultaneous-use logins, after a little digging I found very easy fix for atleast expiration.

Install freeradius as usual then ssh in to your firewall, vi /usr/local/pkg/freeradius.inc, go to line 459

      if ($x <> '') {

change to

      if ($userexpiration <> '') {

~~Ive tried to fix Simultaneous-Use but no matter what I change, the option isnt saved to the users file, as I dont know really much about php, hopefully someone more experience can have a look.~~

I finally found the problem why simulaneous-use wont write to the user file, I swear I checked the same line a dozen times, oh well heres the simple fix.

edit line 456

        if ($multiconnect";

change to

        if ($multiconnet";

I dont know if simulaneous-use actually works so if someones applies these fixes, feedback would help

tested with radlogin 4.0.28 & pfs 1.2.3-RC1 built on Sun May 31 16:28:51 EDT 2009

I have tried to install freeradius package on pfsense 2.0 (Tue Jun 9 14:13:31 FBSD 7.2), once I rebooted I noticed an error on startup.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function convert_friendly_interface_to_real_interface_name() in /usr/local/pkg/freeradius.inc on line 42
Executing rc.d items...
 Starting /usr/local/etc/rc.d/radiusd.sh...
done.

to fix this vi /usr/local/pkg/freeradius.inc and addrequire_once('filter.inc');right after line 3, it should now read```
require_once('service-utils.inc');
require_once('config.inc');
require_once('filter.inc');


reboot

@hadi57:

freeRADIUS is not starting with me i am using 1.2.3, even after adding the line:
require_once('filter.inc');

I downloaded latest snapshot of pfsense 1.2.3 and applied same changes and it worked fine, the "require_once('filter.inc');" was only meant for version 2 if you read more closely, but I think this might not be an issue anymore with ver 2.0.

The best advice I can give is to uninstall radius, rm -rf /usr/local/etc/raddb and reinstall radius again, then apply the 2 fixes above (for verion 1.2.3).

you can also run radius in debug mode from console "radius -X" and see if you have any errors there.

Hope that helps
