      Okay, well, there is now no way apparently to get FreeRadius 2.x installed on the latest builds, so I figured I'd try FreeRADIUS 1.x. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to get all the certificates and everything to make WPA2-Enterprise. On FreeRADIUS2, once I finally got it to start, everything "just worked" - am I missing something or is FreeRADIUX 1.x not capable of doing WPA2-Enterprise. Desperately need a solution here to get the staff network up at this campground back up and online in the latest builds.

        I am not 100% sure how it works in freeradius1 but you have to place your certificates in /usr/local/etc/raddb/certs/ folder. Then you need to edit the "eap.conf" file to point to the correct certificates. Perhaps you have to enable "eap" in radiusd.conf.
        But you are right - in freeradius1 there is no GUI for that. The certificates need to be in .pem format if I remember correct. So probably best way would be to copy these certificates created on a pfsense 2.0.1 version to pfsense 2.1.

        I am not sure if freeradius2 package is visible on package manager on pfsese 2.1 but if it is try to install the package - it will install the GUI but breaks because of the missing packages which are not available in .pbi format.
        The go to console and add the freeradius2 package from freebsd server with:
        pkg_add -r http://www.bla-bla/freeradius2.tbz

        Then it "should" work with the basic features.

          Yeah, I had it working that way before, it worked great, but I updated my snapshot and they removed all the non-PBI packages now. So I have no way to install the GUI since it can't manually be installed. Ugh…

            This is the install link in the package manager of pfsense 2.0.1
            Perhaps login on your pfsense and type in this URL. This should work…

              Thanks I'll give that a try tomorrow, I can't honestly see how it would work if the underlying reference to it in the list of available packages is gone, but anything's worth a try :)

                Working perfectly, I guess the underlying reference to the package isn't gone. Running today's snapshot, where it'll probably stay for quite some time (maybe until release if it proves stable) since everything I need up here is now working well (content filtering, traffic shaping, a VLAN with priority, and WPA2-Enterprise)! Thanks a ton!

                  That was quick! I see there's now a PBI for freeRADIUS 2.x… Not gonna give it a shot yet I have everything working on the system and not gonna take it down on a client right now, I'll test next week and make sure the PBI "just works" by doing an update probably next Thursday

                    Don't do that!
                    We are trying to build the correct .PBIs and the correct dependency .PBIs for freeradius. At the moment there are not all .PBIs on the server. Hopefully the .PBI builder is doing its job.
                    On the Packages or the 2.1 forum there is a thread where peaople post which packages work for pfsense 2.1. You should have a look there and first install / change packages in production if they were tested.

                    Just remember - pfsense 2.1 is still development and not ready ;-)

                      Something I know all too well, but at least I'm getting to test it in the real world. I built a new system for a client, and didn't realize I couldn't use a Realtek 8111e on-board NIC with pfSense 2.0. Thankfully, all is working now knock on wood - if it seems stable, I might not touch it until the final comes out :D

                        All of the PBI bits should be there now, and the other bits as well, on files.pfsense.org.

                        https://github.com/bsdperimeter/pfsense-packages/commit/465839eb99cd094d6d7e5b7d76e82c432165a82b

                        Give things another test, see how they go.

                            Odd for whatever reason amd64 picked up postgresql 9.x and i386 got 8.x.

                            Should be OK shortly. Give it ~20 min and reinstall.

                              Does PF 2.1 count or send the correct traffic data when using freeradius2 and captive portal ?
                              I would like to run a daily and or a monthly usage cap for users, with mac auth.

                                Anyone testing the traffic limits?

                                  Probably not because there was just the .PBI fpr pfsense 2.1 but not the GUI ready for that.
                                  I made some changes on the freeradius.inc to make the package work for 2.1. There are probably some fixes to make but at first it should work and we can test if all the neccessary dependencies are available and working or not.

                                  Give the server some minutes to sync the code.

                                    FYI- a new PBI for FreeRADIUS2 just uploaded also, it should have the proper build options now. Due to a bug in the PBI build script it was missing the options for things like LDAP and such.

                                    EDIT: i386 is up… amd64 is still building, I thought they had both finished.

                                      Thanks for feedback. Cannot test from home because of a very bad and slow WLAn connectiong. Perhaps someone else can do this or I will try to find some time tomorrow.

                                      Another question:
                                      freeradius2 package contains a "mobile-one-time-password" feature. The script which realizes that is written in "bash". In the past I downloaded the bash package from the freebsd ftp server if someone wants to use mOTP. I would like to shrink the freeradius.inc so that I do not have to download bash because pfsense does not has bash by default - but pfsense can talk "shell" ;-)

                                      So if someone would like to help to improve this package - please feel free to translate the following script from "bash" to "shell":

                                      #!/bin/bash
                                      #
                                      # Mobile One Time Passwords (Mobile-OTP) for Java 2 Micro Edition, J2ME

                                        For now if you want to, just add a build_port_path for shells/bash and then eventually when the PBI pops out it can be included.

                                        If someone can rewrite that to a basic shell script then we can eventually remove that dependency.

                                          It has changed on pbis, but still have something to do:
                                          previous version was using cyrrus-sasl, did you compiled with krb5 on this version?
                                          libkrb5.so is missing for rlm_krb5 but not for libgssapi_krb5.so

                                          /usr/pbi/freeradius-amd64/lib/freeradius-2.1.12/rlm_krb5.so:
                                          libfreeradius-radius-2.1.12.so => /usr/pbi/freeradius-amd64/lib/freeradius-2.1.12/libfreeradius-radius-2.1.12.so (0x800c00000)
                                          libkrb5.so => not found (0x0)
                                          libcom_err.so => /usr/lib/libcom_err.so (0x800d21000)
                                          libk5crypto.so => not found (0x0)
                                          libthr.so.3 => /lib/libthr.so.3 (0x800e23000)
                                          libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x800646000)

                                          /usr/pbi/freeradius-amd64/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so:
                                          libkrb5.so => /usr/pbi/freeradius-amd64/lib/libkrb5.so (0x800c00000)
                                          libk5crypto.so => /usr/pbi/freeradius-amd64/lib/libk5crypto.so (0x800dce000)
                                          libcom_err.so => /usr/lib/libcom_err.so (0x800ef8000)
                                          libkrb5support.so => /usr/pbi/freeradius-amd64/lib/libkrb5support.so (0x800ffa000)
                                          libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x800646000)

                                          Is that the very latest PBI from a couple hours ago?

                                          It should be compiled with whatever options were set in build_options - if those aren't right, feel free to adjust them.

                                          That Kerberos library file is in the base system but it can also come from the krb5 port or the heimdal port.

                                          If needed I can get the libraries and put them in a tgz on files.pfsense.org but I'd really like to avoid that if possible, these kinds of things should (in theory anyhow) be handled by port dependencies…

                                            hmpf  :(

                                            I have a problem with my constant…it's not working.

                                            define('USRLOCAL', '/usr/local');
                                            

                                            USRLOCAL is not resolved in the rest of the config files (radiusd.conf, radiusd.sh)

                                            Could there be only one constant in a php file !?
                                            Or should the maintainer just improve his php skills ;)
