NEW Package: freeRADIUS 2.x
-
Updates pkg v1.6.7:
-
Added: Possibility to use pfsense's Certificate Revocation List (CRL) with freeradius. Thank you to marcelloc for the code contribution. I really appreciate that and this was I feature I would like to add a long time ago but never was able to code it.
-
Added: Check if freeradius version 2.1.12 is used or 2.2.0. Thanks again to marcelloc.
-
Removed: Unneeded possibility to export Client.p12 file from FR2 - EAP GUI. This can be done much more comfortable from pfsense Cert Manager.
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.

The code is already pushed, just reinstall the package to get these fixes.

@skoenman
there was a small typo in the freeradius.inc file. Try to reinstall the package and please try again. -
I have successfully setup WPA2 Enterprise with EAP-TLS. Is there a way to create a user, that is not allowed to login with a password? I just want to use certificates and I have noticed that I can login (via MSCHAPv2 I guess) without certificates by just providing the user/password combo I created. Leaving the password entry empty allows the user to login without any password, so that is not an option.
For a test, I removed "Cleartext-Password :=" leaving just the username in the file "users". That seems to prevent the user from logging in with an empty password while still allowing login using certificates.
Is there a more elegant way to do this? Don't know if it is a supported option to just put a user in "users" without any option afterwards. But if it was, could it be made an option in the in users sections of the freeradius2 package? -

Try with the docs. Disable weak EAP types. enable check cert user.

Thanks for the quick answer, I used the wiki for my initial setup some time ago.
I'm sorry if I overlooked something, but I cannot find "check cert user", do you mean "Check Client Certificate CN"? That is already checked.
I found out that I can delete the user completely and still login via EAP-TLS when no user is defined. It seems any certificate issued by the pfSense internal CA is vaild for login now, even though I selected a specific cert in "CERTIFICATES FOR TLS" for "SSL Client Certificate". Cannot find any reference to that cert in eap.conf, though. Where would that client cert be found?
Here are my settings:

@athurdent
I just posted the docs to make sure you found the information there.In general EAP-TLS works without username and password. If the client has a valid client certificate which matches the CA on the freeradius server then the authentication will work.
If you enable "Check Client Certificate CN" then the common name of the client certificate must match the username (and password) in the users file. If you disable "Check Client Certificate CN" then the users file will not be checked.
On the GUI screenshots you posted there is something which shouldn't be there and confuses people in the past. I updated that yesterday and forget something which I removed right now. Reinstall the packages "GUI" and it will remove useless "SSL Client Certificate". (This was a kind of export feature which is useless and can be done from SYSTEM –> Cert Manager --> Certificate --> Download .p12)
The only certificates you need to enter on the freeradius GUI is the CA and the server certificate. Client certificate must be copied to your WLAN client. Perhaps try with a new client certificate and remove the old one from your machine or create a complete new CA and server certificate and client certificate.
If you like to read more about "Check Client Certificate CN" then google for "check_cert_cn" which is the configuration line on freeradius eap.conf file. I do not find to much on the web.
Hope this will help you!

Guys got the freeradius to run…now i added a user with password but it wasnt addded to the db what could be the problem???sql db???it doesnt give any errors in the logs and connects fine...does pfsense update the username and password into the db and if so how often???
edit i have whmcs creating the username and password but need to import it into pfsense???

Hi,
nice to hear that it is running now.If you are using mysql as database for authentication then you need to put the usernames and passwords into the mysql database. Do this with phpmyadmin or something else.
If you add a user on "FreeRADIUS –> Users" then the users will not be stored on the database they will be stored in the local users file.
http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/FreeRADIUS_2.x_package#MySQL -
so at this stage theres no way to sync local db to mysql db???

No, that's not the intention.
If you want to use redundancy then you must use 2 SQL databases and use the loadbalance functions.

If you enable "Check Client Certificate CN" then the common name of the client certificate must match the username (and password) in the users file. If you disable "Check Client Certificate CN" then the users file will not be checked.
Thanks for the quick answer and fixing the package!
Regarding "check_cert_cn": I think the client certificate CN only has to match the username you send in your radius request, the users file does not seem to be parsed at all. Like I said, I currently have an empty users file, have enabled "Check Client Certificate CN" and I can login with my wlan cert.
Post no 2 in this link seems to confirm this:
http://www.linuxhorizon.com/1-unix/30bd220de93c4195.htmIf you think that is correct and not just specific to my setup, maybe the wiki entry for EAP-TLS should be flagged with a warning that adding a user and password to "users" also allows logins without cert and just username/password?
Anyway, many thanks again, I am happy with my setup now as no one is allowed to login via username/password. And if a cert needs to be blocked, I just revoke it using that nice new CRL option ;)

@athurdent
What you say seems to be correct. In general you just allow authentication methods on the server configuration which you really want to use. The package ist not as flexible as a config file which you can edit with a text editor.So if you mix authentication methods like some clients should use EAP-TLS, others just username/password, this could have unwanted side effects.
Perhaps this could be something for the future freeradius packages :-)

Try to reinstall the FreeRADIUS GUI.

Updates pkg v1.6.7_2:
- Modified: XMLRPC sync code to generalize it with other packages and added the possibility to make it automatically sync with CARP members.
The code was changed by marcelloc because of an intention of the developers to make it more consistent with other pfsense functions. I just copied it over and hopefully made it workable with freeradius2. You probably need to confirm the XMLRPC configurations after you updated the package.

FreeRADIUS just connects to a SQL server - it has no own sql server. What you have to do is to install a SQL server somewhere else and then connect freeradius to this sql server.
