NEW Package: freeRADIUS 2.x

marcelloc

@marcelloc:

I can't see this option on package make config.

Now I can see it as experimental option ;)

Thank you for this information!

Updates pkg v1.6.6_3:

Fixes: accounting scripts and small updates on the documentation. More infos in this thread:
http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,48404.0.html

Known bugs:

When using "stop/start accounting on CP then "Amount of Time/Amount of Traffic" isn't working correctly.
http://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/2164
When using CP + RADIUS + Vouchers and "reauthenticate every minute" is enabled then CP sends the voucher as username to RADIUS. This causes RADIUS to disconnect the "user/voucher" because of an unknown/wrong "username".
http://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/2155
When stop/start accounting on CP is enabled than the syslog shows many "wrong order" or "Login found bot no logout detected". This seems to not affect the usage of RADIUS but it is not 100% correct.

Hi,
I want to do some test with DHCP on freeradius, I have a virtual machine where freeradius has DHCP enabled. I wanted to know if there is a way I can tell your package on installation to fetch my package file (from my server) and all dependencies will be treated as normal (from your server).

Thanks

No. what you can do is install freeradius2 package and then at console/ssh replace freeradius2 with your build using pkg_delete and pkg_add -r

Thank you, this worked.

@qbik:

Thank you, this worked.

You can also report what features you enabled and how it improved your setup.

And which files you need to configure so we can think about building a GUI for that if possible :-)

Is there a timeline for when this package will be updated to work with 2.1-DEVELOPMENT? Unfortunately, I need 2.1 for a client's system since their NIC isn't supported in 2.0.1 (RealTek 8111e), and I'm trying to get FreeRADIUS working so I can use WPA2-Enterprise. Thanks!

after installing gui, did you tried to install binaries on console?

these posts maybe usefull for amd64 installs

It's an i386 install, because the graphics chipset (Intel Atom D2700) doesn't work properly in FreeBSD AMD64 (heck, it doesn't TOTALLY work properly in i386 there are missing characters, and amazingly, it doesn't even work in Windows 7 64-bit - there are no drivers from Intel).

Sorry if I missed this but I'm not seeing it, if you still think it'd help, how would I go about reinstalling from the terminal then?

Maybe the package has installed missing libs, put as whe do not have .pbi package for freeradius2, you need to enable ssh/go to console and type

pkg_add -r http://e-sac.siteseguro.ws/packages/8/All/freeradius-2.1.12.tbz
pkg_add -r http://e-sac.siteseguro.ws/packages/8/All/openldap-sasl-client-2.4.26.tbz

Thank you! I'll try it out ASAP. Will this work through a firmware upgrade from the GUI or will it need to be re-done every time a new snapshot is loaded?

Every firmware update, all packages are reinstalled, so I think you need to do this too.

markuhde

Okay, thanks. It'll probably be Monday morning when I'm up at the campground where this install is, and I'll give it a whirl. Do a firmware update, then try to get FreeRADIUS and WPA2-Enterprise up and running there.

markuhde

Tried that, didn't do the trick, freeRADIUS 2 still won't start on 2.1 development.

markuhde

Here's the result of my attempt to start it from SSH in debugging mode. Any help would be great I'd LOVE to get this thing running and I appreciate it a ton!:

ERROR: Cannot find a configuration entry for module "weekly".

markuhde

**IGNORE ALL OF THIS - it didn't survive a reboot. The package must try to repair itself or something, I'm back to the error above about the module weekly…

P.P.S. I know I'm mostly talking to myself at this point but the magic final edit was hashtagging out weekly, monthly, and forever in freeradius.inc since it turns out that's where radiusd.conf is loaded from. Now, to figure out if whatever I broke to get FreeRADIUS to start is so severe that it won't work for my needs (which are fairly minimal, authenticate a few users who will stay around all the time, and have the ability to add/remove temporary users as needed).**

I think I got it running. I dunno what I broke in the process but first thing I tried was adding the "weekly, monthly, and forever" entries from my working 2.0.2-RC1's version of "/usr/local/etc/raddb/modules/counter" since those were missing. That did NO good. Changed nothing. So instead I hashtagged out weekly monthly and forever from radiusd.conf. Then on an error related to MOTP, so I edited the file "default" that contained MOTP references to hashtag that out. Then I halted on more errors about daily (yes, daily too this time), weekly, monthly, and forever so I hashtagged out a all those references in default and it starts!

I know I broke something in the process. I also know that I have no idea WHAT I BROKE, and I randomly hashtagged things out. The server starts but who knows if it'll work for what I want (WPA2-Enterprise). I'll find out Monday when I'm up there if I can connect to the private network I'm setting up now.

Anyone got any insight into what I broke? LOL

Nachtfalke

I did the GUI for that package. What you broke is nothing important for you. So no problem.
The counter files will be installed on package installation process. If you do not need the counters that will be no problem for you. Uncommenting this in "default" is no problem.

The same for MOTP. this a is one time password feature - you probably do not need this for your environment. :)

I posted on the dev mailing list and we will see what is happening for pfsense 2.1 :)
http://lists.pfsense.org/pipermail/dev/2012-May/000176.html

PS: If you have the time to do so, you can do the following:
copy and execute the code on pfsense GUI -> Diagnostics -> Command prompt -> PHP execute
Just copy the lines below - this will probably create all your missing files.


require_once("freeradius.inc");
freeradius_dictionary_resync();
freeradius_modulesmotp_resync();
freeradius_modulesdatacounter_resync();
freeradius_datacounter_acct_resync();
freeradius_datacounter_auth_resync();
freeradius_modulescounter_resync();

Thanks, as far as I know it works, but I haven't been up to the campground this is installed at (it's about 30 miles away). I know pfSense works, I haven't got any complaints and I see users connecting. No idea, however, if my WPA2-Enterprise admin network works. I know all my setup and VLAN tagging works (because I had no issues connecting when it was WPA2-PSK).

Why all the hassle to do WPA2-Enterprise? The admin network is also the network that bypasses the proxy. I want to be able to give group leaders passwords that are removed when their group leaves in case they need to bypass SquidGuard for any reason (it is setup fairly restrictive).

On my test setup here at home, running pfSense 2.0.2-RC1, it all works great (for my demo network, which is a similar setup).

Thanks again!
