Freeradius wont authenticate at all

paulqsource

Good day.
I am running 2.5.2-RELEASE (amd64) with freeradius3 version 0.15.7_32
and openvpn

but even before i can try to get openvpn to work i need to authenticate with free radius.
Gone through multiple tutorialals, deleting and starting over. i keep on getting : Error during RADIUS authentication : No valid RADIUS responses received.

/usr/local/etc/raddb/clients.conf

client "acrapfsense" {
ipaddr = 127.0.0.1
proto = udp
secret = 'acra' /* not real password*/
require_message_authenticator = no
nas_type = other
### login = !root ###
### password = someadminpass ###
limit {
max_connections = 16
lifetime = 0
idle_timeout = 30
}
}
and a authentication server set up as
type - radius
protocol - ms-chapv2
shared secret - acra exactly the same- tripple tripple checked
and services offered - auth
auth port 1812

radius nas ip attribute is set to - wan - 197.234..

But wgen i go to diagnostics/auth and authenticate i get error.

The following input errors were detected:

Authentication failed..

/diag_authentication.php: Error during RADIUS authentication : No valid RADIUS responses received

I have no idea what to do next

Hmm, I've tested that a few times recently and it's worked fine.

Does it respond to radtest at the cli?

Is the Freeradius service actually running?

Try this :

On the dashboard, the 'radiusd' process should be 'green' :

Stop it :

Open a console connection, menu option 8.

Type

radiusd -X

Now the FreeRadius process starts, and logs over the console.
If you use a ssh client like Putty, warning messages will be yellow, errors will be red.
Your mission : find the red lines, and make them go away.

When I start radiusd, I only see these :

Then, it idles, waiting for 'things to do'.
