Windows RADIUS Server

Xavi_IT

Hello @yanqian,
I could not configure a Radius server in PfSense "Authentication Servers". I followed several tutorials and Windows NPS event log was returning succesfull authentication attempts, but I could not figure out why didn't PfSense was not getting them.

Finally I had success using LDAP instead of Radius in PfSense "Authentication server" to connect to Windows Active Directory. With LDAP It worked at first attempt.

yanqian

@anwarmoinudeen As I recall, I hadn't solved this issue, and I gave up NPS radius server test. I hope @mohkhalifa would provide the guide in detail.

Old topic but try this:

First you need to know the vendor code for PFSENSE which I found in https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/blob/master/src/usr/share/doc/radius/dictionary.pfsense

VENDOR		pfSense				13644

BEGIN-VENDOR	pfSense

ATTRIBUTE	pfSense-Bandwidth-Max-Up		1	integer
ATTRIBUTE	pfSense-Bandwidth-Max-Down		2	integer
ATTRIBUTE	pfSense-Max-Total-Octets		3	integer

END-VENDOR pfSense

Now you can go to your network policy in NPS for the captive portal. Go to:
SETTINGS, VENDOR SPECIFIC, ADD, "custom", "Vendor specific/Radius standard", ADD,ADD:

Enter Vendor Code = 13644
Yes it conforms
configure Attribute -> 1 for pfSense-Bandwidth-Max-Up with decimal and you bandwidth

repeat for 2 = pfSense-Bandwidth-Max-Down

Untested but this should work in theory.

@jimmychoosshoes after that how can we limit bandwidth by users can you help me?

@anwarmoinudeen I know this is old, just want to update here, I tried to use NPS on server 2016 as RADIUS server today, and it works without any issue.
Pfsense version is 2.7.0, RADIUS MS-CHAPv2 .

dochy

@yanqian with FreeRadius?

Gertjan

@dochy

FreeRadius is not " NPS on server 2016 as RADIUS server".

Instead of install the FreeRadius pfSense package, @yanqian installed a Radius serves on a Micorsoft (server ?) and use that Radius server.
It isn't a free one (as it is from Microsoft)

He probably used this :

to set up an external authorization/authentication (Radius) server.

dochy

@Gertjan )) i use this method too and it is not hard to configure

mohkhalifa

@dochy Yes it's hard but you have to prepare a good coffee and I trust that you will did it.
