      Guys i Hope you guys can help me .. im having a very funny thing happening. I have pfsense with freeradius 2 running. my mysql server is on same network and i can connect through the pfsense shell to the mysql server.
      TThing is when i create a user it doesnt create it in the database (mysqlserver ) but just on the local one. I have tried looking on the logs and all i can see that doesnt look right is this .

      radiusd[62149]: rlm_sql (sql): Connected new DB handle, #0
      Jan 14 20:40:22 radiusd[62149]: rlm_sql_mysql: Starting connect to MySQL server for #0
      Jan 14 20:40:22 radiusd[62149]: rlm_sql (sql): Attempting to connect rlm_sql_mysql #0
      Jan 14 20:40:22 radiusd[62149]: rlm_sql (sql): Attempting to connect to radius@172.22.2.12:3306/radius
      Jan 14 20:40:22 radiusd[62149]: rlm_sql (sql): Driver rlm_sql_mysql (module rlm_sql_mysql) loaded and linked
      Jan 14 20:40:22 radiusd[62149]: Core dumps are enabled.
      Jan 14 20:40:20 php: /pkg_edit.php: The command '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/radiusd.sh stop' returned exit code '1', the output was 'radiusd not running?'

      does anybody have a idea please. Im running version 2.0.2 of software.

        If you add a user on freeradius –> USERS tab this will add a user on local "users" file. Not less and not more.
        If you want to use a mysqld server - then you must add users on your mysql database. This cannot be done from freeradius GUI.
        The only thing you can do on freeradius is to configure the connection to an external mysql database.

        So the log is telling you what is happening:

        Attempting to connect to radius@172.22.2.12:3306/radius
        

        freeradius tries to connect to your mysql server on IP172.22.2.12 on port 3306 - bot probably something went wrong.
        Wrong database user and password and/or wrong database.

        This could help you:

          So what you trying to tell me is that the users are local??? what would happen if i have a user called koos trying to connect ….lets say he is in the mysql database but not in the local one????
          will the user still be able to auth???

            Example:
            You add a user in freeradius –> "Users" tab with username "testuser" and password "testpw".
            Then your CaptivePortal authenticates against RADIUS then you are able to authenticate on CP with username "testuser" and "testpw"
            This account info is stored on pfsense in /usr/local/etc/raddb/users

            If you want to store your users on a mysql database then you must add "testuser" and "testpw" on the mysql database in the correct table.
            If CP now sends RADIUS an authentication request, then freeradius must know where there account information is stored.
            So you have to tell freeradius to talk to a mysql server. To read data on a mysql database you need privileges - a username/password on mysql who is allowed to read/write on mysql.
            This username/password is idependent from the credentials you enter on CP. The username/password for mysql must be entered on freeradius --> SQL.

            Did this answer your question ?

              I thought the username and password info was saved on the mysql server and not on the local db…does anybody know of a way to sync local db with mysql db??? Thing is i need to be able to add koos with rate limit of 2000 and cap of 1000 to sql database ..and i need pfsense to manage it...if that makes any sense??

              so if i have it correct at the moment if the user isnt in the local db then it goes and has a look on sql database???

                As the night owl said, you need to add the user data to the mysql database. If you want to use a GUI for that you have to supply your own one. The entries in the user list are written to the mysql database, which could be done, but you would loose some freedom on how you define the tables. My setups usually have a few extra columns.

                  If you want to anger me then you call it "owl" - but the correct translation should be "hawk" - just kidding :-)

                  @skoenman
                  Why do you want to use mysql ?
                  Do you have so many users ?
                  Do you need any special options that cannot be done bei the local "users" file ?

                    Well i have a whmcs server with mysql/freeradius interface which basicly loads the usernames and passwords in the mysql database….so this is why i want pfsense to sync the usernames so that i can do rate limiting and capping from pfsense.

                      @qbik:

                      I got it to work, I edited the files but did not know the config resets on reboot, so I edited freeradius.inc on line 362 and 1633, now all is working. On the other server I am using the normal freeradius package installed by me. I just need some more customization for french error message, working on it right now, i will upload the screenshots for the vouchers soon. This package is great, thanks again!

                      @Nachtfalke:

                      @qbik:

                      Hi I am using this package and created a group with 2 attributes: Max-All-Session := 600 (5 min) Simultaneous-Use := 1. I've enabled the noresetcounter on radiusd.conf, users on that group are able to authenticate ok, however they do not get disconnected after 600 sec have past. CP is enabled, interim updates enabled, authenticate users every minute is enabled. I have the same setup on another pf sense server with freeradius installed but not with this package and all is working ok on that one. I am using MySQL on both.

                      Thanks

                      Hi,
                      do you use freeradius2 package on both pfsense or not ? That's not clear for me.

                      the attribute: Max-All-Session is not a predefined attribute in GUI. So you probably created this attribute in your mysql database ? And if you use mysql as database for accounting then you need to use the sqlcounter.conf file. This file is NOT supported from GUI. You need to check and perhaps edit this file from shell.

                      I don't how it works with mxsql but if I use the ../raddb/modules/counter module (without external database) then this modul is ONLY running on accounting-stop packets, interim-updates do not work. So make sure that it does with mysql.

                      re-authenticate every minute should be enabled on CP so that the user gets disconnected. that's right what you did. You should enabled "Disable acct_unique" in FreeRADIUS -> Settings to make accounting work properly.

                      For anybody still in doubt pfsense indeed resets few .conf files on reboot eg radiusd.conf sql.conf clients.conf . the file freeradius.inc is responsible for this. freeradius.inc is located in /usr/local/pkg/ ( I am just writing this to help anyone facing any problems with this.. like i did )

                        I "upgraded" to 64-bit pfSense 2.1 Beta 1 in order to get more available RAM and now FreeRadius is broken. It doesn't respond to authentication attempts and radiusd now sits at a steady 25% CPU load when running. Configuration files were the same (I messed around a little with EAP type and stuff which I really don't understand and created new certificates but it's now set back mostly at least how it was when working fine on 32-bit). It just appears broken on 64-bit. Any ideas?

                          maybe try to click 'Save' in eg EAP tab, so config of freeradius will be recreated. Then if problem still occurs paste some System logs of radiusd process.

                            I completely redid the configuration, deleted freeradius from config.xml and reinstalled package and started over. Same 25% CPU from the moment the package started. I'm clueless… what should I post?

                            Here's the output of radiusd -X :

                              A problem could be the different versions of freeradius on pfsense 2.0 and 2.1
                              jimp did some changes on the pfsense server and updated some freeradius files for new freeradius 2.2.0 version.

                              pfsense 2.1 is using freeradius 2.2.0 and pfsense 2.0.x is using freeradius 2.1.12. The reinstall could give you the newer version and the freeradius.inc file didn't get that.

                              Try to edit the /usr/local/pkg/freeradius.inc file on line 83 and 216

                              I will contact jimp to check if it is possible to make a new freeradius2 .tbz file for pfsense 2.0 so that all system use the same version and .inc file can be fixed.

                                Thanks, I edited those lines, FreeRADIUS still just locks at 25% CPU load when started. If you are interested to help troubleshoot the package, I can give you login credentials if you PM me. Unfortunately, I can't pay anything since I'm doing this work for free for a non-profit camp…

                                  Hi again,

                                  I did and upgrade of an "old" pfsense 2.1-BETA0 with freeradius2.1.12 to todays pfsense snapshot and freeradius2.2.0

                                  Service started and no problems with high CPU usage.
                                  But nevertheless there is something which needs to be corrected and please make sure you did that.

                                  Edit the freeradius.inc file:

                                  
                                  vi /usr/local/pkg/freeradius.inc
                                  
                                  

                                  Remove this line 83:

                                  exec("chown -R root:wheel " . FREERADIUS_BASE . "/etc/raddb && chown -R root:wheel " . FREERADIUS_BASE . "/lib/freeradius-2.1.12 && chown -R root:wheel /var/log/radacct");
                                  

                                  With this line:

                                  [code]exec("chown -R root:wheel " . FREERADIUS_BASE . "/etc/raddb && chown -R root:wheel " . FREERADIUS_BASE . "/lib/freeradius-2.2.0 && chown -R root:wheel /var/log/radacct");[/code]
                                  

                                  Remove this line 216:

                                  libdir = \${exec_prefix}/lib/freeradius-2.1.12
                                  

                                  with this line:

                                  libdir = \${exec_prefix}/lib/freeradius-2.2.0
                                  

                                  Save the freeradius.inc

                                  Now go to Diagnoctics –> Command Prompt and put the following into the PHP Execute:

                                  require_once('/usr/local/pkg/freeradius.inc');
                                  freeradius_install_command();
                                  

                                  This command will take some time. It will recreate all folders and config files and restart freeradius service.
                                  After that try again if it is working.

                                  Question:
                                  Do you "just" have problems with high CPU usage or do you have problems with freeradius at all? Does it show you "Ready to process requests" ?

                                  PS: No need to SSH and no need to pay money. Use your money for usefull things or donate to pfsense but not to me ;-)

                                    No, it's not just high CPU usage, it doesn't work, never gets to ready to process. I sent you exactly what it does :) I edited those files but I never ran that command you told me to, just did that. It still gets stuck on the same line (add defaults: start). Here's the radiusd thread causing the 25% CPU use:

                                    59445 root        119    0 34040M  9348K CPU1    1  1:13 100.00% radiusd

                                    100% use on that virtual core, it's like it's pegging it out in some kind of loop. Always worked fine on 32-bit. Maybe a complete system reinstall as 64-bit is in order, but it won't be able to happen for a month or so (though the RADIUS is only needed for youth camps come summer, right now it's all rental groups that don't get to bypass the proxy server :) )

                                      Perhaps just try with a complete fresh install.

                                      Do not mix architectures between snapshots. Just start with amd64 and stay on amd64 or do a fresh install.
                                      And after you installed the freeradius2 package again, do the changes, run the command I wrote and then try again :-)

                                        Yeah, but I can't do a fresh install for about three weeks :) Going to just do that!

                                          Is freeradius2 starting if you remove all config entries from config.xml file and do a fresh freeradius2 installation ?
                                          The only thing you need to configure is a listening interface and then freeradius must start. If it starts it could be an config problem - some special char or some syntax error.

                                          Just a suggestion.

                                            Nope, I tried that already, no luck. I actually deleted my entire configuration and started over. Thus why there's no users except the one test user…
