      Hello,

      I'm using the RADIUS server for different user and device authentication. Heaving hundreds of users (how can I count them?) and is working fine. But in the last time it happened to loose some users from the bottom of the list. I don't know how many. Do you know any reason of this? Maybe there is a limit and I crossed it?

      Thank you.

        So you're using the Freeradius package in pfSense I assume? Which version?

        You can check the user db file at /usr/local/etc/raddb/mods-config/files/authorize.

        The uses are also listed in the main config file i the <freeradius> section.

        Obviously those two lists should match.

          Thank you. Version 0.15.14 no SQL support, 801 clients. Is there any user count limit?

            No limit as far as I know but you're certainly getting into a size you should consider deploying a separate radius server. The pfSense gui will hit issues hen trying to load lists that large. It should still work though.

              You are right, that's why I always use an overpowered appliance. I don't expect to have more than 1000 entries in the future. One more question: at the bottom of the users page there is a 'Save' button. After adding a user the interface does not ask for 'Apply Changes'. For sure I didn't press the 'Save' button after each new user. Maybe that's why I lost some of them?

                Nope that save button is for saving the order of displayed users. Though I'm not really sure why you'd ever need to do that!
