      @myke:

      @Nachtfalke:

      In general you should create your CA ander server cert on pfsene Cert Manager.
      then select these two certificates on freeradius -> EAP and save.

      Client certificates can be build on pfsense Cert Manager and export the .p12 file. This should work and the .p12 file should be without any password. can you try with an empty password ? But this is more a "pfsense" problem than a freeradius problem.

      I am not sure but if I remember correct there was another thread here in the forum which is about the .p12 file and a password. Perhaps the search function can help you.

      Thanks for the answer.

      My Certificate Authority and certificate was created in pfsense Cert manager. I just created .pfx with openssl.
      In first time i try with an empty password and second time with a password "pfsense" but exactly the same result.

      I use pfsense 2.0.1 AMD release.

      Myke.

      Did anyone get this working? I came across this relatively fresh posting because I ran into the same problem (didn't I? Maybe someone spots a difference below)

      _I created a root-CA and a CA in pfSense cert-manager and created a server-cert and client-cert for EAP-TLS only. In Services->FreeRadius->EAP->CERTIFICATES FOR TLS I choose the CA, server-cert and client-cert. I checked "Create client.p12 for export" and saved.

      When I download the .p12 file from /usr/local/etc/raddb/certs/client_cert.p12 or using the cert-manager I get asked for a password when trying to install them on OSX or iOS …_

      Thanks a lot!!

        By default the certificates created by freeradius are protected with an "input/ouput" password from reading the certificate. The certificates created by the firewall's built-in Cert Manager are not protected so you must leave this field empty. (Default: whatever)

        In general you should leave this password field on freeradius –> EAP empty. If it is the default one it is whatever

        If the password field was empty then the password on this .p12 file is not freeradius related but pfsense cert manager related.

          This is exactly what I thought. That is why I am so surprised that it does not seem to work…
          I left the password in EAP empty, but the .p12 ist protected.

          I also tried "whatever" but it didn't work. I tried all other passwords I used in this context, but also not the correct ones.

          Is it possible to create the client .p12 on the Shell (not meaning the FreeRADIUS script)? Isn't it "simply" a cert created from my CA - in a special format? I am not that deep into this topic :-/

          BTW: Initially I thought every User would identify himself using a personal cert. Is this a wrong assumption or just not implemented in the FreeRADIUS packages GUI? ... Or did I only miss it there?

          Kind regards,
          Sascha

            Okay.
            I've tried several hours and could not get a usable .p12 from the GUI. By usable I mean, a .p12 with a password that I know. I tried "whatever" and every other password I used (just 5 in total).

            Then I tried a different approach, which is not what I initially wanted, but I can live with it. I downloaded the CA.crt (not the key!) and the .crt, .key of the client-certificate from pfSense's cert-manager (the one I tried to export as .p12 before). In bash I converted them into the .p12 format:

            $ openssl pkcs12 -export -out client_cert_user1.p12 -inkey client_cert_user1.key -in client_cert_user1.crt -certfile myCA.crt

            It asked for a password and created the .p12-cert. I could import it in OSX and iOS and authentication using the .p12-cert worked.

            Now I found out, that I can login (at least from my iPhone) if I enter the username that the client-cert has as CN (I checked "Check Client Certificate CN" in the EAP settings). But the user does not have to exist …. I have an empty user-table in FreeRADIUS (file is really empty, too) and login works, as long as I enter the same username that the certificate's CN is... strange thing. The GUI says about "Check Client Certificate CN":

            If this is enabled then the common name of the client certificate must match the username you set in FreeRADIUS => Users. (Default: unchecked)

            I thought that the client-cert would be useless, if the user is not existing in FreeRADIUS. Am I missing something? Or misunderstanding? Or is the username irrelevant if I have the client-cert installed?

            Maybe I'll find out soon, maybe not :-) I'll keep trying!

            Kind regards,
            Sascha

              I found the conde which generates the .p12 file:
              https://github.com/bsdperimeter/pfsense/blob/master/usr/local/www/system_certmanager.php

              
if ($act == "p12") {
if (!$a_cert[$id]) {
pfSenseHeader("system_certmanager.php");
exit;
}

$exp_name = urlencode("{$a_cert[$id]['descr']}.p12");

$res_crt = openssl_x509_read(base64_decode($a_cert[$id]['crt']));
$res_key = openssl_pkey_get_private(array(0 => base64_decode($a_cert[$id]['prv']) , 1 => ""));

$exp_data = "";
openssl_pkcs12_export($res_crt, $exp_data, $res_key, null);
$exp_size = strlen($exp_data);

header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename={$exp_name}");
header("Content-Length: $exp_size");
echo $exp_data;
exit;
}

              And this php command should create the file:

              openssl_pkcs12_export($res_crt, $exp_data, $res_key, null);

              A look at the manual shpws this:
              http://php.net/manual/de/function.openssl-pkcs12-export.php

              I do not see anything what could be wrong. Perhaps replace "null" with something else or try this as password.

              I found this on the net:

              No, the only thing that check_cert_cn does is make sure that the CN in
              the certificate matches the User-Name attribute in the RADIUS request.
              It's basically just a sanity/security check on the request itself.  It
              does not go looking on other autz sources for you.  It is up to you to
              decide elsewhere (users file, SQL DB, LDAP) whether or not to allow that
              user to authenticate.  If you do nothing, the user will be allowed to
              authenticate by default.  If, for some reason, you decide you don't want
              a user to be allowed to authenticate, you must specifically reject him.

              And here is the original eap.conf:
              http://wiki.freeradius.org/Eap.conf/eaedb27b545ae8177cac6744ab09437c72594c1c

              Further try with Disable weak EAP types and Default EAP Type = TLS

                Guys i Hope you guys can help me .. im having a very funny thing happening. I have pfsense with freeradius 2 running. my mysql server is on same network and i can connect through the pfsense shell to the mysql server.
                TThing is when i create a user it doesnt create it in the database (mysqlserver ) but just on the local one. I have tried looking on the logs and all i can see that doesnt look right is this .

                radiusd[62149]: rlm_sql (sql): Connected new DB handle, #0
                Jan 14 20:40:22 radiusd[62149]: rlm_sql_mysql: Starting connect to MySQL server for #0

                does anybody have a idea please. Im running version 2.0.2 of software.

                  If you add a user on freeradius –> USERS tab this will add a user on local "users" file. Not less and not more.
                  If you want to use a mysqld server - then you must add users on your mysql database. This cannot be done from freeradius GUI.
                  The only thing you can do on freeradius is to configure the connection to an external mysql database.

                  So the log is telling you what is happening:

                  Attempting to connect to radius@172.22.2.12:3306/radius

                  freeradius tries to connect to your mysql server on IP172.22.2.12 on port 3306 - bot probably something went wrong.
                  Wrong database user and password and/or wrong database.

                  This could help you:

                    So what you trying to tell me is that the users are local??? what would happen if i have a user called koos trying to connect ….lets say he is in the mysql database but not in the local one????
                    will the user still be able to auth???

                      Example:
                      You add a user in freeradius –> "Users" tab with username "testuser" and password "testpw".
                      Then your CaptivePortal authenticates against RADIUS then you are able to authenticate on CP with username "testuser" and "testpw"
                      This account info is stored on pfsense in /usr/local/etc/raddb/users

                      If you want to store your users on a mysql database then you must add "testuser" and "testpw" on the mysql database in the correct table.
                      If CP now sends RADIUS an authentication request, then freeradius must know where there account information is stored.
                      So you have to tell freeradius to talk to a mysql server. To read data on a mysql database you need privileges - a username/password on mysql who is allowed to read/write on mysql.
                      This username/password is idependent from the credentials you enter on CP. The username/password for mysql must be entered on freeradius --> SQL.

                      Did this answer your question ?

                        I thought the username and password info was saved on the mysql server and not on the local db…does anybody know of a way to sync local db with mysql db??? Thing is i need to be able to add koos with rate limit of 2000 and cap of 1000 to sql database ..and i need pfsense to manage it...if that makes any sense??

                        so if i have it correct at the moment if the user isnt in the local db then it goes and has a look on sql database???

                          As the night owl said, you need to add the user data to the mysql database. If you want to use a GUI for that you have to supply your own one. The entries in the user list are written to the mysql database, which could be done, but you would loose some freedom on how you define the tables. My setups usually have a few extra columns.

                            Why do you want to use mysql ?
                            Do you have so many users ?
                            Do you need any special options that cannot be done bei the local "users" file ?

                              Well i have a whmcs server with mysql/freeradius interface which basicly loads the usernames and passwords in the mysql database….so this is why i want pfsense to sync the usernames so that i can do rate limiting and capping from pfsense.

                                I got it to work, I edited the files but did not know the config resets on reboot, so I edited freeradius.inc on line 362 and 1633, now all is working. On the other server I am using the normal freeradius package installed by me. I just need some more customization for french error message, working on it right now, i will upload the screenshots for the vouchers soon. This package is great, thanks again!

                                @Nachtfalke:

                                @qbik:

                                Hi I am using this package and created a group with 2 attributes: Max-All-Session := 600 (5 min) Simultaneous-Use := 1. I've enabled the noresetcounter on radiusd.conf, users on that group are able to authenticate ok, however they do not get disconnected after 600 sec have past. CP is enabled, interim updates enabled, authenticate users every minute is enabled. I have the same setup on another pf sense server with freeradius installed but not with this package and all is working ok on that one. I am using MySQL on both.

                                Thanks

                                Hi,
                                do you use freeradius2 package on both pfsense or not ? That's not clear for me.

                                the attribute: Max-All-Session is not a predefined attribute in GUI. So you probably created this attribute in your mysql database ? And if you use mysql as database for accounting then you need to use the sqlcounter.conf file. This file is NOT supported from GUI. You need to check and perhaps edit this file from shell.

                                I don't how it works with mxsql but if I use the ../raddb/modules/counter module (without external database) then this modul is ONLY running on accounting-stop packets, interim-updates do not work. So make sure that it does with mysql.

                                re-authenticate every minute should be enabled on CP so that the user gets disconnected. that's right what you did. You should enabled "Disable acct_unique" in FreeRADIUS -> Settings to make accounting work properly.

                                For anybody still in doubt pfsense indeed resets few .conf files on reboot eg radiusd.conf sql.conf clients.conf . the file freeradius.inc is responsible for this. freeradius.inc is located in /usr/local/pkg/ ( I am just writing this to help anyone facing any problems with this.. like i did )

                                  I "upgraded" to 64-bit pfSense 2.1 Beta 1 in order to get more available RAM and now FreeRadius is broken. It doesn't respond to authentication attempts and radiusd now sits at a steady 25% CPU load when running. Configuration files were the same (I messed around a little with EAP type and stuff which I really don't understand and created new certificates but it's now set back mostly at least how it was when working fine on 32-bit). It just appears broken on 64-bit. Any ideas?

                                    maybe try to click 'Save' in eg EAP tab, so config of freeradius will be recreated. Then if problem still occurs paste some System logs of radiusd process.

                                      I completely redid the configuration, deleted freeradius from config.xml and reinstalled package and started over. Same 25% CPU from the moment the package started. I'm clueless… what should I post?

                                      Here's the output of radiusd -X :

                                        A problem could be the different versions of freeradius on pfsense 2.0 and 2.1
                                        jimp did some changes on the pfsense server and updated some freeradius files for new freeradius 2.2.0 version.

                                        pfsense 2.1 is using freeradius 2.2.0 and pfsense 2.0.x is using freeradius 2.1.12. The reinstall could give you the newer version and the freeradius.inc file didn't get that.

                                        Try to edit the /usr/local/pkg/freeradius.inc file on line 83 and 216

                                        I will contact jimp to check if it is possible to make a new freeradius2 .tbz file for pfsense 2.0 so that all system use the same version and .inc file can be fixed.

                                          Thanks, I edited those lines, FreeRADIUS still just locks at 25% CPU load when started. If you are interested to help troubleshoot the package, I can give you login credentials if you PM me. Unfortunately, I can't pay anything since I'm doing this work for free for a non-profit camp…

                                            Hi again,

                                            I did and upgrade of an "old" pfsense 2.1-BETA0 with freeradius2.1.12 to todays pfsense snapshot and freeradius2.2.0

                                            Service started and no problems with high CPU usage.
                                            But nevertheless there is something which needs to be corrected and please make sure you did that.

                                            Edit the freeradius.inc file:

                                            
vi /usr/local/pkg/freeradius.inc

                                            Remove this line 83:

                                            exec("chown -R root:wheel " . FREERADIUS_BASE . "/etc/raddb && chown -R root:wheel " . FREERADIUS_BASE . "/lib/freeradius-2.1.12 && chown -R root:wheel /var/log/radacct");

                                            With this line:

                                            [code]exec("chown -R root:wheel " . FREERADIUS_BASE . "/etc/raddb && chown -R root:wheel " . FREERADIUS_BASE . "/lib/freeradius-2.2.0 && chown -R root:wheel /var/log/radacct");[/code]

                                            Remove this line 216:

                                            libdir = \${exec_prefix}/lib/freeradius-2.1.12

                                            with this line:

                                            libdir = \${exec_prefix}/lib/freeradius-2.2.0

                                            Save the freeradius.inc

                                            Now go to Diagnoctics –> Command Prompt and put the following into the PHP Execute:

                                            require_once('/usr/local/pkg/freeradius.inc');
freeradius_install_command();

                                            This command will take some time. It will recreate all folders and config files and restart freeradius service.
                                            After that try again if it is working.

                                            Question:
                                            Do you "just" have problems with high CPU usage or do you have problems with freeradius at all? Does it show you "Ready to process requests" ?

                                            PS: No need to SSH and no need to pay money. Use your money for usefull things or donate to pfsense but not to me ;-)
