freeRadius / Unifi AP / EAP-TTLS ?

@furom Did you try running radsniff -x from the console ?

Not just that, no. Perhaps I overthink it, but shouldn't I specify an interface? I will give radsniff -x a go as soon as I get SSH setup again... :)

@furom I run eap-tls with one of my ssids on unifi, and use freerad on pfsense as auth.. I don't recall any issues with setting it up.. I had it off for a while when my company locked down my phone and prevented me from installing the profile on my phone with the certs. But recently re-enabled it and not having any problems.. if you want I could post my configurations up.

@furom If you don’t see any thing output from radsniff -x it’s highly likely that the ap isn’t set up correctly.

Well, either that, agreed, or something more intricate. As I said before, I set up a user, and am unable to validate it in Diagnostics, no matter how simple secrets & passwords... I don't think a system can be haunted, but sometimes wonder... well, I hope not.

johnpoz

@furom here you go

Config from pfsense freerad, settings for my ssid, and the freerad profile that tells the unifi where to go.. And then at the end you can see my phone authing..

furom

@johnpoz OMG. That is so helpful! Much appreciated!! It's a bit late to start with that right now, but will try it out tomorrow! :)

johnpoz

@furom if you need any help - just ask... I do like using a secure eap like eap-tls for my trusted devices on my trust wifi vlan.. I just wish iot devices supported wpa enterprise ;)

edit:
keep in mind you do need certs for these users - and getting the profile into say ios can be problematic - it doesn't like no password, etc. so I believe I run it through openssl to create the bundle, etc.

edit2: just noticed using old cert for my old phone ;) I now have a 13, but its using my old XR cert heheh

Good points, I do have the certs I need at least, and know they're good. So a starting point at least, and with all this great help I can't think of what could go south... :)

Hi there :) So much at the sam time, but now finally time for EAP-TLS, after all trouble I'm actually a little hesitant to even try, but I do want it too...

Did you follow any special path or just mended it together? One thing that I see others do, is creating a new separate "Authentication server" for radius, I can't tell if you did so too. This step was one that always failed before...

johnpoz

@furom you do need too point to freerad on your unifi setup.. Not even sure if you can fire up multiple configs for freerad on pfsense?

furom

Multiple configs? But yes, the Unifi part is clear I think. What is a little unclear is if this is needed or not?

furom

@furom This is well, embarrassing. I have done to the letter almost what you have. All the options the same etc.
But... same step relentlessly fails; verifying the user I create for radius... I have tried with a password I would like, with a very simple one, and it just won't work.
Secret is copy/pasted, so is most other duplicated stuff.
I will let it be now as you perhaps may have an idea where to look...

I finally ran

[root@netgate ~]# radsniff -x
Logging all events
Defaulting to capture on all interfaces

which did not show one single thing, so at least it is a big mistake somewhere...

Thanks :)

johnpoz

@furom well if you don't send any traffic why do you think radsniff would show anything?

Here is my phone coming in from trying to talk one of my AP on 192.168.2.2, do you have a firewall rule setup to allow your AP ips to talk to freerad on port 1812?

radsniff would not have anything to do with your setup of freerad, but if stuff is trying to auth to you. You would need to have firewall rules to allow that traffic - sorry if I left that off, but pretty basic that if you have a service listening on 1812, that stuff is going to talk to - your firewall rules would have to allow that.

As to setting up authentication server in pfsense - why would that have anything to do with freerad authing users for other devices.. No you don't need to setup anything there.

I set up radsniff and then tried to diag/auth, but didn't exactly show much.

Ok. And yes, of course I understand I need a firewall rule,

This should be permissive enough... I bet it's just a tiny thingy somewhere... I have to go over everything again...

johnpoz

@furom that rule that it has never been used, see the 0/0 do you have some other rule blocking? Maybe in floating or above that?

For unifi to send traffic, you would have to have set up unifi to send to pfsense IP, and then a client would have to try and auth that unifi would talk to your freerad with..

Here I went to my controller and ran a stupid radtest test that I knew would fail - but you can see that radsniff saw the traffic

Here this should give you how to test that freerad is running, etc..

https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/packages/freeradius-test.html#testing-the-freeradius-package

edit: you know freerad doesn't even need to be running to test that traffic is actually getting to pfsense with radsniff

Here I turned off freerad on pfsense.

if you are not seeing radius traffic with radsniff then your not allowing it via firewall, or nothing is sending anything, or they are sending it to wrong IP or port..

furom

@johnpoz I am about to test my wifi without radius just to see that it actually works... :/ Then add radius.

In floating I have this
which as I understand shouldn't impact this...

But the most basic still must be to get this diagnostic auth to pass, right? If that checks, all the rest will fall into place...

johnpoz

@furom said in freeRadius / Unifi AP / EAP-TTLS ?:

diagnostic auth to pass

Again - who cares... I would actually validate that traffic hits pfsense via radsniff.. if your network connectivity is not there then doesn't matter if users could auth or not via whatever method.. because it would never work..

Do a simple radtest and radsniff test like I did - does radsniff see the traffic - if not not then no matter what you setup or don't setup on pfsense for authing methods its never going to work.

johnpoz

Why do you have raduser in local db? you understand the users in freerad don't have to match up to local users.

Notice the johnsXR I am authing with my phone isn't in my pfsense users, only that testuser account matches up - and I don't even recall why I had created that.. Going to delete it now ;)

Hrm... No, I actually didn't. That is why I was nagging about diag/auth. Now I understand why you didn't care about that then.
But on the positive side, I got a reaction from radserver when trying auth from the tablet. I now need to copy over the cert and retry :)
