      itbit,

      push it via github.

      It will be easier to check changes and commit on current code.

        Well… It took me a bit to figure it out
        but I think I got it.
        i proposed the changes at
        https://github.com/bsdperimeter/pfsense-packages/tree/master/config/freeradius2

        Cheers,

          Updates pkg v1.6.6_4:

          • Added: Possibility to edit the timeout when doing an XMLRPC sync between different RADIUS servers. If one RADIUS Server does not respond the main pfsense does not respond until the default timeout of 150s is over.

          • Added: Possibility to endable/disable a host when doing an XMLRPC sync. This allows you to add all destination hosts you want to sync this but if one is down or you do not want to sync the changes to this host you can disable this host for sync.

          Thank you itbit for adding this code and these options to the package. :-)

          Known bugs:

          • When using "stop/start accounting on CP then "Amount of Time/Amount of Traffic" isn't working correctly.
            http://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/2164

          • When using CP + RADIUS + Vouchers and "reauthenticate every minute" is enabled then CP sends the voucher as username to RADIUS. This causes RADIUS to disconnect the "user/voucher" because of an unknown/wrong "username".
            http://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/2155

          • When stop/start accounting on CP is enabled than the syslog shows many "wrong order" or "Login found bot no logout detected". This seems to not affect the usage of RADIUS but it is not 100% correct.

            Dear friends,

            I have a stupid question to ask. I've searched on the forum but couldn't find an exact solution to my problem.

            I'm modifying the files of FR 2 to make it connect to my mysql server and work flawlessly with my daloradius server. I'm backing up the files I've modified, but the problem is, whenever I reboot the machine, all of the files returns to their original values. So I made a backup of the raddb folder, and whenever I reboot my pfsense, I stop the service, untar the backup I've made, and restart the service.

            I want to get rid all of that. Is there any way to make the file changes permanent?

              Edit script that creates config files, it's usually package_name.inc script.

              And to keep this file modification on xml backup, use filer package.

                All files that will be modified by the GUI are in the freeradius.inc:

                /usr/local/pkg/freeradius.inc
                

                So the best solution for you would be to modify the freeradius.inc file so that it does what you want.
                Then your configuration will survive a reboot :-)

                But it will not survive a package reinstallation of freeradius and not a pfsense firmware update.
                For this - if I understand marcelloc correctly - you will have a look at the filer package. I didn't ever used the filer package.

                    After reinstalling freeradius go to the EAP tab and check if the certificates are correct and then click again on "save".
                    It could also help to change the "cert manager" option on the EAP-tab, click save and then change back and click save again.

                      New version of freeradius is available:
                      2.2.0

                      When looking at the freeradius.org webpage it says:

                      100% configuration file compatible with 2.1.x. The only fix needed is to disallow "hashsize=0" for rlm_passwd
                      

                      So this should be no problem for the configuration.

                      But the makefile seems to have changed - and now different "build options" must be used. Can someone verify this and perhaps make it available for pfsense ?

                            In general freeradius2 package is available for i386/amd64 installations using pfsense version 2.x
                            Full installation on HDD is supported and it should run on nanobsd installations, too.

                            Not sure, why it will not be displayed on you installation but you can try this:
                            1.) login on pfsense
                            2.) access this URL: http://your_pfsense_IP/pkg_mgr_install.php?id=freeradius2

                              You are on the latest version.

                              im using the http://mirror.optus.net/pub/pfSense/downloads/pfSense-2.0.1-RELEASE-i386.iso.gz
                              installed everything on my hdd using vmware workstation 8
                              installed lusca and squidguard without problems…

                              i have the same problem it does not show on available packages
                              here's the error on console when i try pkg_add -r freeradius2
                              and manual adding it on the pfsense webgui

                              is there a way i can fetch it or modify the repo links or xml? how?
                              or how can i install it manually or add it on the available package list?

                                I have some different VMs with 2.0.1 x86/x64 installs and pfsense 2.1 installs.
                                I can install the package on all machines from the GUI.

                                The parameter which indicates the version is the same as for lets say squid2 or squidguard:

                                
                                <required_version>2.0</required_version>
                                
                                

                                But I am not sure where the check is for the different installation types like CD, nanobsd and embedded :(

                                Can you try another .iso image from another mirror ?

                                    That's not the problem why you do not get freeradius in packagemanager GUI.

                                    If you want to use pkg_add -r then just use the complete path to pfsense server.

                                    x86:
                                    pkg_add -r http://files.pfsense.org/packages/8/All/freeradius-2.1.12_1.tbz

                                    x64:
                                    pkg_add -r http://files.pfsense.org/packages/amd64/8/All/freeradius-2.1.12_1.tbz

                                      pkg_add -r http://files.pfsense.org/packages/8/All/freeradius-2.1.12_1.tbz

                                      x64:
                                      pkg_add -r http://files.pfsense.org/packages/amd64/8/All/freeradius-2.1.12_1.tbz

                                      thanks! it's working now…

                                      i tried this post to install the gui: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=50572.0
                                      Fatal error: Call to undefined function freeradius_install_command() in /usr/local/www/exec.php(244) : eval()'d code on line 9

                                      any solutions?

                                          Hello,

                                          Just tried this package for the first time today and it's great!  There's just one minor problem that I would need to solve before I could use this in production.  Unfortunately, I'm not a programmer, so wouldn't know where to begin…

                                          What I would like is to have a check box that lets me enter the plaintext password for the user, but encrypts it in the /usr/local/etc/raddb/users file because otherwise any admin can view the plaintext password.  To get around this on my existing Linux FreeRADIUS server, I have a small perl script as follows:

                                          #! /usr/bin/perl -w
                                          use strict;
                                          use Digest::MD5;
                                          use MIME::Base64;
                                          unless($ARGV[0]){
                                           print "Please supply a password to create a MD5 hash from.\n";
                                           exit;
                                          }
                                          my $ctx = Digest::MD5->new;
                                          $ctx->add($ARGV[0]);
                                          print encode_base64($ctx->digest,'')."\n";
                                          

                                          So, at the command line, to generate the MD5 password hash:

                                          radius:~ # /root/md5pass.pl <chosen password="">
                                          X03MO1qnZdYdgyfeuILPmQ==</chosen>
                                          

                                          Then to use this in my users file I would use the following:

                                          "stuart"   MD5-Password := "X03MO1qnZdYdgyfeuILPmQ=="
                                          

                                          Anyone have any thoughts on this?

                                          Thanks,
                                          Stuart

                                            i found out the solution…

                                            ok to everyone that has no freeradius2 on their package list here's the simple fix...
                                            execute this > ./package.sh off
