      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…

            ===============================================================================
            
            To enable FreeRADIUS, put the following line in /etc/rc.conf
            
            radiusd_enable="YES"
            
            The sample configuration can be found at
            /usr/local/share/examples/freeradius/raddb
            
            If you are upgrading FreeRADIUS, you are advised to use this as a reference
            for updating your configuration.
            
            FreeRADIUS will look for its configuration directory at
            /usr/local/etc/raddb by default.
            
            If you did not already have a configuration at this location, the sample
            configuration has been copied to this location and has been bootstrapped.
            
            If you wish to point FreeRADIUS to a configuration at a different
            location, put the following line in /etc/rc.conf
            
            radiusd_flags="-d /path/to/raddb"
            
            To start the server in normal (daemon) mode, run:
            
            /usr/local/etc/rc.d/radiusd start
            
            and to stop the server, run:
            
            /usr/local/etc/rc.d/radiusd stop
            
            To start the server in debugging mode, run:
            
            /usr/local/etc/rc.d/radiusd debug
            
            You are advised to make cautious changes to the configuration, and to test
            frequently, using debugging mode where necessary. Try to resist the
            temptation to disable or delete things that you don't understand - you may
            well break things!
            
            The documentation has been installed at /usr/local/share/doc/freeradius
            
            Useful configuration advice can be found in the FreeRADIUS Wiki at
            http://wiki.freeradius.org

              What do you want to do?

              If you want to use freeradius2 package on pfsense then just go to
              System –> Package Manager --> Available Packages
              and install freeradius2

              No need to do that manual from the console and it will not work.

                  I saw this problem several times in other threads. In most cases it was a problem with the pfsense installation.
                  Can you try to do a fresh installation of pfsense and try the package again ?

                  In general freeradius2 should start after you setup a listening interface.

                    Thanks for this great contribution.

                    I am currently testing pfsense 2.0.3 with freeradius2 in appliance only mode.

                    I think I've found a small bug, if a radius user is created with an email address .i.e "tom@example.com" and "Amount of traffic" is set, this user is unable to login.

                    I've added "@" to /usr/local/etc/raddb/scripts/datacounter_*.sh files on the line

                    USERNAME=`echo -n "$1" | sed 's/[^0-9a-zA-Z.:_-[color=red]@]/X/g'

                    I am able to log on with "tom@example.com", however traffic accounting completely stops, for all users not just ones with @ in their names, if I remove my changes from  /usr/local/etc/raddb/scripts/datacounter_acct.sh, accounting works again but not for @ usernames.

                    Any help?

                      You probably need to modify that on both functions:

                      freeradius_datacounter_auth_resync()
                      freeradius_datacounter_acct_resync()
                      

                      Further you need to restart pfsense to recreate the .sh files.

                      Or you go to diagnostics –> command prompt:

                      require_once("/usr/local/pkg/freeradius.inc");
                      freeradius_datacounter_auth_resync();
                      freeradius_datacounter_acct_resync();

                        Thanks.

                        I had the same results, I even commented out the realms section where it denies @ logins, still nothing.

                          @Abdsalem:

                          Thanks.

                          I had the same results, I even commented out the realms section where it denies @ logins, still nothing.

                          Hmm, I am no coding expert so I am not sure why this is happening but I found the follwoing:

                          http://php.net/manual/de/language.operators.php
                          So it seems that  @  is an operator in PHP.

                          And in function:
                          function freeradius_modulesdatacounter_resync()
                          we need the username (%{request:User-Name}) from freeradius and this could perhaps cause problems.

                          Is there a way to just get the value of  %{request:User-Name}  without doing any special with it ?

                            Thanks, Im no coder either :0)

                            It could be my regex skills are also crap, but I thought I'd mention it as I noticed 1 or 2 posts on this thread pointing to this symptom, Ive since moved to an external radius server, just need to work out all the correct configs for it.

                            But without @ username, the pfsense package worked great, I had 2 pfsense fr2 syncing with eachother with no problems.

                            Cheers

                              hello,
                              first @ is not operator in php.
                              second, both functions You mentioned are bash scripts, so it doesn't matter.

                              USERNAME=`echo -n "\$1" | sed 's/[^0-9a-zA-Z.:_-@]/X/g'
                              ```this changes special characters to X. But finally it's just name of file so it doesn't matter if you save it with X as tomXmail.com or tom@mail.com.
                              
                              I don't use this function, but I'll try to help:
                              1\. Do You have only one backslash before $1 in USERNAME?
                              2\. Give me ouput (You can cut it, but I need sample name of username file (path /var/log/radacct/datacounter/\$TIMERANGE/max-octets-\$USERNAME"):
                              You can do this command and paste somewhere.
                              

                              ls -lar /var/log/radacct/datacounter/ > /root/datacounterlist

                              
                              3\. As Nachtfalke wrote it could be problem in other function. We need to look into it:
                              in function freeradius_modulesdatacounter_resync we need to change $conf variable a little.
                              change only exec datacounterdaily
                              

                              exec datacounterdaily {
                                              wait = yes
                                              program = "/bin/sh $varFREERADIUS_BASE/etc/raddb/scripts/datacounter_acct.sh %{request:User-Name} daily %{request:Acct-Input-Octets} %{request:Acct-Output-Octets} && /bin/sh echo %{request:User-Name} >> /root/usernames"
                                      }
                              ...

                              
                              maybe we would know something more with those files ;)

                                Thanks very much guys for offering to help and sorry I have not got back to this asap, been a bit busy as I have migrated my entire setup to pfsense 2.1 (radius accounting works great btw), I've setup an external radius server that sits on my dmz and its authenticating and accouting correctly with all my users, including "@" usernames.

                                I am a little free now to help fix this problem for the community because its ideal and more practical in some cases to give users the option to sign up with their email addresses with the pfSense FR2 package.

                                I have also worked out how to give users custom replies for my own setup if they fail authentication for what ever reason, I know a few people were looking for this as the default gave inconsistant replies for their setup .i.e "You have entered the wrong credentials" for a user who has used up their data allowance, instead of something liike this "You have used up your data allowance for this month".

                                Ill setup another vm with pfsense 2.0.3 soon (I cant find where FR2 pkg resides on 2.1) and post the result of the commands pszafer wrote.

                                TIA

                                  Maybe better to test it on pfSense 2.1, so possible problem will no be reproduced in the newest version.

                                    Good news for those that use this package with eap-tls. Current version now includes certificate revocation list(CRL) on eap Tab.
                                    Once you revoke a client certificate, it will not be able to login anymore.  :)

                                            When using MySQL with freeradius then you need an SQL server somewhere. FR2 does not have any - it just connects to a SQL server.

                                            Further there is a problem that the configuration is working fpr freeradius 2.1.12 which installs on pfsense 2.0.x.
                                            On pfsense 2.1 the developers updated the package to version 2.2.0. But this version is not represented in the freeradius.inc file. I posted this twice on the mailing list but the did not update the "old" version to 2.2.0, too.

                                            But this could be probably easily fix. Modify:

                                            /usr/local/pkg/freeradius.inc
                                            

                                            On lines 83 and 217.

                                            Replace

                                            freeradius-2.1.12
                                            

                                            with

                                            freeradius-2.2.0
                                            

                                            Then restarting freeradius could do the trick and if it does not then restarting pfsense will do it.
