NEW Package: freeRADIUS 2.x

Nachtfalke

Thank you very much for your feedback. I read about the samba and winbind "problematic" to use an Active Directory with freeradius. But I am not sure at all now - I thought that Win Server 2003 and higher has LDAP compatibility but you first have to enable something on Windows Server. But I am not sure on that and I do not find the documentation…

freeradius2 has an "rlm_smb" module but this is still experimental. This is the excerpt of the makefile:

# No SMB option yet; rlm_smb is still unbuildable
.ifdef(WITH_SMB)
LIB_DEPENDS=	smbclient.0:${PORTSDIR}/net/samba-libsmbclient
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-rlm_smb
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-rlm-smb-lib-dir=${LOCALBASE}/lib
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-rlm-smb-include-dir=${LOCALBASE}/include
PLIST_SUB+=	SMB=""
.else
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--without-rlm_smb
PLIST_SUB+=	SMB="@comment "
.endif

# SMB module is still experimental
.if defined(WITH_SMB) && !defined(WITH_EXPERIMENTAL)
WITH_EXPERIMENTAL=	yes
.endif

The third thing I read about here in the forum is/was that someone had installed samba on pfsense but it breaks the hole system.

@pszafer:
You wrote you worked on freeradius2 (compiling) in the past. Did you use it on pfsense and how did you get it work with LDAP and/or AD ?
If there are samba binaries which don't breake the system I am sure we can add these to freeradius2 package and the create a GUI to edit the smb.conf. That shouldn't be to hard if we know the command lines.

@sandern
in /usr/local/etc/raddb/sites-enabled/default
you have authentication section

so far we've got plaint text password and this is our problem, we need nt-domain hash.
you could try comment line with unix auth
and uncomment Auth-Type LDAP, but this will propably cause other errors.
I've done this before so linux users with pap auth were authenticated succesfully, but trully I remove this and backuped in wrong place (it's gone) so I can't easy come back to this, but I don't want to.

@Nachtfalke
AD is compatible with LDAP in way we wanted to.
We need Kerberos to get ticket to get authenticated - http://www.google.pl/imgres?q=kerberos+eap&um=1&hl=pl&authuser=0&biw=1920&bih=913&tbm=isch&tbnid=4SMvBpPK_Big9M:&imgrefurl=http://anil-identity.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html&docid=xeW3QfB9c27wtM&imgurl=http://identitymeme.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/krbandweb-opps_06-700x366.png&w=700&h=366&ei=gUcLT5qpEcmq-AaFwL20AQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=1506&vpy=159&dur=1520&hovh=162&hovw=311&tx=119&ty=97&sig=107427534317749718724&page=1&tbnh=86&tbnw=164&start=0&ndsp=53&ved=1t:429,r:8,s:0

To get Kerberos working with AD we need get winbind (which is in Samba packet). Winbind is service allows to get authenticated over Windows PDC.
rlm_smb is something worth to try and interesting.

About Samba compiling, I think someone could try to use samba as file sharing server so firewall would be messed up.
I wanted to use Samba only for purpose to authenticate user and I think it is possible ;)

Two weeks ago I've bought new netgear router to my workplace, upgraded to OpenWRT and wanted to authenticate wifi via 802.1x.
As Domain Controller shouldn't be used for this for security reasons I decided to do it on pfsense router. Didn't search forum what's going on with this packet, didn't see this in GUI so recompiled freeradius on freebsd virtual machine and added necessary libraries for that.
I've come here because I was exhausted for tryin' ntlm_auth to work. Squid package has some ntlm_auth without samba, so I assumed it is possible. Now I think my assumption was wrong :P

Okay, now I'm reading about rlm_smb, maybe do something with that.

–------------------
one weird thing, in dd-wrt it is for 5 years and it is still experimental? am I missing something?

Only if you do it by hand, installing freebsd packages.Samba as a pfSense package is really not a good idea for firewall.

pszafer

in freebsd packages there are no security=ads. Unfortunately we need only this from samba :/

marcelloc

Ddid you tried with kerberos? there is a way to do this without samba.

@marcelloc
I will try tomorrow morning do this (in 7 hours) [other time zone ;)]

Updates pkg v1.4.8:

Added: Support for Redundant / LoadBalancing two LDAP Servers (authorize and authentication)

I will add redundant SQL server support in near futur, too.

PS: I found something about MS AD and LDAP and how to enable LDAP in MS Server 2003 and higher. This is not directly pointed to freeradius but perhaps it will help the guys who know more about this than me :D

Hello, here is the same and shorter version for 2008 AD, http://technet.microsoft.com/pl-pl/library/cc816788(WS.10).aspx,
but I'm not sure if this is what we want to do.
Make connection safer in one place, but less safe in other place.

I don't think this is the case here. We are authenticating to ldap so its not anonymous as in the technet article. I'll try some more this afternoon to get this working.

pszafer

just tell me, is command kinit working for you?
I have problem with a lot of libraries.
Now I'm stuck at error:
/usr/local/lib/libgssrpc.so: Undefined symbol "gss_mech_krb5"

–---------------------------

@marcelloc
look at this configure error of compiling Kerberos from hand :P

configure: error: krb5 libs don't have all features required for Active Directory support

Nachtfalke

Hi,

I got this on i386 and amd64 - does this help you?

[2.0.1-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.localdomain]/root(1): kinit
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/libkrb5.so: Undefined symbol "add_error_table"

marcelloc

No, i'll Google for it. ???

pszafer

put this code into sh script, execute and krb should work:

#!/bin/sh
export PACKAGESITE="ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/i386/9.0-RELEASE/packages/Latest/"
pkg_add -r krb5-19
pkg_add -f -r heimdal

krb5-19 you should have, but this is just in case ;)

now create file:
vi /etc/krb5.conf

[libdefaults]
        default_realm = DOMAIN.NAME
        dns_lookup_kds = TRUE
        default_keytab_name = /etc/krb5.keytab
[domain_realm]
        .domain.name = DOMAIN.NAME
[realms]
        DOMAIN.NAME = {
          auth_to_local = RULE:[1:$0\$1](^DOMAIN\.NAME\\.*)s/^DOMAIN\.NAME\\//
          auth_to_local = DEFAULT
}

My name for admin user is: Administrator (maybe other name in you language).
And now in console:

$ kinit Administrator@DOMAIN.NAME [don't know why but only upper case for me]
password: xxxx

and now:

$ klist

But trully have no idea what next :P
I've tryin' get ntlm_auth and winbindd to work without samba :P

trully ntlm_auth use only command from winbind like get_domain_name, so I'm thinking about editing source code :P

marcelloc

export PACKAGESITE="ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/i386/9.0-RELEASE/packages/Latest/"

Install freebsd9 packages on 8.1 install could break many dependencies.

pkg_add -r krb5-19
pkg_add -f -r heimdal

kerberos conflicts with heimdal, why do you need both?

But trully have no idea what next
I've tryin' get ntlm_auth and winbindd to work without samba

I know some extra steps, i'll try to find it and post here.

marcelloc

I did not found any compile arg to fix Undefined symbol "add_error_table"

For now, pszafer suggestion works.

Just fix path for heimdal

amd64
pkg-add -r http://e-sac.siteseguro.ws/packages/amd64/8/All/heimdal-1.4_1.tbz

i386
pkg-add -r http://e-sac.siteseguro.ws/packages/8/All/heimdal-1.4_1.tbz

I'm not sure if it breaks other packages that call krb5.

it's my mistake. I used 8.1 packages, but only testing 9.0 packages ;)
Be aware that this operation could cause problems with ldconfig, I had one :P

if you can give me a hint what to do, because I'm tryin and tryin and I'm become impatient :D

Updates pkg v1.4.9

Added: Support for second SQL database (failover/loadbalancing)

===============================================================
@marcelloc:
I noticed a problem with libmysqlclient.so.18 not found after a reboot:

What I did:
I did a fresh install of pfsense (i386/amd64) and a fresh install of freeradius2.
I enabled SQL with MySQL - the service would start if it could find a mysql server.
I did a reboot of pfsense and after the reboot the libmysqlclient.so.18 cannot be found. See the following:

As you can see, the file is on the system, the mysqlclient pkg is installed and after I forced a reinstall of mysqlclient the MySQL module is working again - but until a reboot.

I tried to work around this following this instruction from freeradius.org page:

#
# libdir: Where to find the rlm_* modules.
#
#   This should be automatically set at configuration time.
#
#   If the server builds and installs, but fails at execution time
#   with an 'undefined symbol' error, then you can use the libdir
#   directive to work around the problem.
#
#   The cause is usually that a library has been installed on your
#   system in a place where the dynamic linker CANNOT find it.  When
#   executing as root (or another user), your personal environment MAY
#   be set up to allow the dynamic linker to find the library.  When
#   executing as a daemon, FreeRADIUS MAY NOT have the same
#   personalized configuration.
#
#   To work around the problem, find out which library contains that symbol,
#   and add the directory containing that library to the end of 'libdir',
#   with a colon separating the directory names.  NO spaces are allowed.
#
#   e.g. libdir = /usr/local/lib:/opt/package/lib
#
#   You can also try setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable
#   in a script which starts the server.
#
#   If that does not work, then you can re-configure and re-build the
#   server to NOT use shared libraries, via:
#
#	./configure --disable-shared
#	make
#	make install
#
libdir = @libdir@

I added the /usr/local/lib/mysql path to the radiusd.conf but with no luck.

There isn't any problem with PostgreSQL, and ldap as well as krb5 are still working after a reboot.

I'm sorry I didn't test that some days before when you started compiling. Don't know how to fix that :(

marcelloc

Ok, I'll take a look.

@Nachtfalke
if you see that library there and it is not seen by ldconfig just run:

ldconfig -m /usr/local/lib/mysql/

Unfortunately ldconfig doesn't run recursively…

Thanks! Will try that tomorrow. Will go to bed now to get at least 5h of sleep ;)
