NEW Package: freeRADIUS 2.x

zlyzwy

First I am sorry. I didn't see that you updated your post ;-)
First it is good that Plain-MAC-Auth is working
Second:
Disable Plain-MAC-Auth and put this in "FreeRADIUS -> Users tab"
Username: 00-02-a5-4e-df-67
Password: (The shared secret from Captive Portal below the point "Enable MAC authorization)
Delete the entry in "FreeRADIUS -> MACs" with this MAC address: 00-02-a5-4e-df-67

Then it should work.

I confirm this works.:) Nice~~

Uuuhh..hmm..I am out of ideas why this is happening. But to make it clear "rlm_radutmp" is containing all clients which are authorized. This is the file which checks for "Simultaneous-Use". You increased the "Simultaneous-Use" - that is what I had told you, too. Check again that there is not a double entry in "MACs" and "Users" with this MAC address: 00-02-a5-4e-df-67.

I am sure there is only one MAC for one record. I also tried to remove all the record and just put server's MAC to list. The result is the same– only host can access the Internet, vm machine can't.
I have an idea for this issue, because my host server and VM_debian are actually using one physical network card (VM is directly bridged on host). FreeRadius recognize there are two clients using the same MAC to get passed? Of course, this is only my guess.
But if this is correct, 'simultaneous connections' should solve the problem if I set the value as '2'.. :(
I google with the error log, very little information...

I read about this behaviour on some forum posts. It has something to do with that CP is only changing bandwidth for users which authenticate new. It doesn't change this for existing connections.
When I tested this at home I found out that you have to enable "Bandwidth Limits" on CP first. You can enter a value but if you set a setting on FreeRADIUS then the value of the CP will be overwritten (that's what we want). And then I am not sure if there is the same bug in this function as with "amount of traffic". The traffic which goes through CP is for example 1MB but accounting will tell RADIUS that there are 6MB. Not sure if this affects Bandwidth Limits in any way, too.
So I am sorry but I could not tell you where the problem for Bandwidth Limits is. Need to test this more and find out which checkboxes on CP I need to enable and which services needs to be restartet.

I did a quick test on your point. Basically the 'Bandwidth Limits' in CP works.
For FreeRadius's bandwidth limits, it does not always override the setting in CP. Usually CP's setting will override FreeRadius.

I am afraid I have little time today and these testings may not complete.

In next a couple of days, I can't access my PF box so I will not do any more testing… But I would like to continue this topic later.

Thanks && have a nice day:)

As far as I know in VMware Workstation you are able to change the MAC address of every interface. So you could try to change/check if all interfaces have different MACs.

To make sure that freeradius does not have old entries, delete the file:

rm /var/log/radutmp

Bandwidth Limits:
I think I cannot do anything against this. freeRADIUS is sending the correct attributes and CP recognizes these attributes but the problem seems to be deeper in the CP code (QoS) and so on. ( I had a very short conversation on mailing-lists about that with ermal).

We will see :)

Updates pkg v1.5.5:

Added/Fixed: We are now able to use the "Amount of Download/Upload/Time" limits as intended. There are some problems between CP and "rlm_acct_unique module in freeradius. I added an option in "FreeRADIUS -> Settings" to disable this module. Then the counter work as they should."
Updated: FreeRADIUS documentation (counters)

There are two kinds of network connection method in VM : Bridged, NAT and host only.
I am now using Bridged on host and VM_Debian. Their MACs are:
Host : 00-02-a5-4e-df-67
VM_Debian:00-0c-29-ee-88-30
The host's MAC is also the physical MAC.
I found the FreeRaius can only accept one client. It will always be the lastest one who refresh the network settings.
In windows it's

ipconfig/renew

In Debian it's

/etc/init.d/networking restart

I changed the debian's MAC to be the same as host, but no lucky.
Tried to put Debian's MAC to pass list, no lucky…

I am running out of idea for this issue... I have the feeling this should be the problem of FreeRadius not CP.
I am ready to post this question to FreeRadius Mail list...This is the only free support method I found for FreeRadius...
(I may need to mention this topic in the mail. Will that bring you any inconvenience?)

About bandwidth, I think I may try to do it in Firewall. But just thinking about it....

BTW: I tried to configure the PF in remote, it seems to be as good as local..

Nachtfalke

You can post your question where you want and you can point to this thread if you want. I do not have a problem with that.
But I do not think that RADIUS is the problem. The RADIUS is only doing what the NAS (CP) is telling.

The problem could be perhaps the NAS Port sent in the Access-Request. If both Access-Request do have the same attribute-values.
Try radiusd in debug mode (radiusd -X) and compare the Access-Request when connection with one and then with the other VM.

I think you are right. It's not the problem of FreeRadius. I change the auth method to local database. The error is the same. I am sorry I was wrong.
Even I sent mail to FreeRadius list, they don't think it's about VM and it should be something about PF.

The problem could be perhaps the NAS Port sent in the Access-Request. If both Access-Request do have the same attribute-values.
Try radiusd in debug mode (radiusd -X) and compare the Access-Request when connection with one and then with the other VM.

In fact, I can't control who between VM and host will login successful first. Once it was working with refresh the network interface but I just tried several times. It doesn't work.

I am going to post this question in CP and hope there is some solution for this..

Many thanks for your help!

hi,
i have a problem, i have pfsense that have:
LAN card(172.16.0.1) with DHCP turned on(172.16.3.1-172.16.6.250), where PC-s are connected.
WAN conenction, configurated as pppoe(dynamic IP)
from packadges there are:
squid
lightsquid
ntop
freeradius2

i did everything by this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6Hjxd1Af-s

in freeradius2:
for Client IP Address i put my LAN card address(172.16.0.1)
for Client IP Address (for port 1812,1813) i put also my LAN card address

in captive portal:
Primary RADIUS server IP address i put 172.16.0.1
RADIUS NAS IP attribute also 172.16.0.1

but every time when i tried to authentificate by username and password i gave, authentification
page appears again.

Hi,

that is no problem of freeradius.
Check System Logs and make sure that thre is "Login OK" for the username. Then authentication from CP user is working.

The redirection problm is another one - as far as i know. Try this:
Configure DHCP on LAN interface.
DNS Server is pfsense LAN interface (172.16.0.1). The client must use this DNS as first DNS.

If this doesn't work search the forum for captivportal and redirection

Auth with EAP (TLS + TTLS) with dynamic VLAN

I wonder if this is the case for configure a specific VLAN to a specific IP that would be passed from freeradius for a NAS with a encryted conection using AES.

Is there any test?

Nachtfalke

@osvaldotcf:

Auth with EAP (TLS + TTLS) with dynamic VLAN
(…)

I think you found this in the pfsense docs, right ?

It means that a Client which is connected with EAP-TLS or EAP-TTLS will be put in a specific VLAN which RADIUS tells it.
VLAN attributes can be sent from FreeRADIUS - that is working - but when using TLS or TTLS than we need to send the reply attribute tunneled. This can be configured via "FreeRADIUS -> EAP" on GUI.
In general this should work - but I could not test this till now.

Dynamic VLAN assignment for the NAS does mean that the NAS gets the VLAN attributes from the RADIUS server and than changes the state of the port on NAS. This must be supported by the NAS.

I hope this is what you asked !?

osvaldotcf

Thank you.
I set up a test environment.

Updates pkg v1.5.6:

Fixed: typos in description (interfaces, users, macs)
Fixed: syntax error in additional check-items (users,macs)
Added: GUI TLS support for LDAP

in freeradius2,

can i form groups and add users into groups and create groups rules? :D
and how to bind user to mac address?

Nachtfalke

@filip_pag:

in freeradius2,

can i form groups and add users into groups and create groups rules? :D

This isn't possible from GUI at the moment. And I don't know if groups can be build without any SQL database. In SQL you can create a group and put users into this group.

Then you can add the following as "Additional RADIUS Attributes on the TOP of this entry":

DEFAULT Group == "disabled", Auth-Type := Reject

DEFAULT Group == "disabled": matches all users in the group "disabled"
Auth-Type := Reject: sets auth-type to reject and so rejects all users in this group.
You can work with:

Fall-Through = yes

If other attributes should be assigned like VLAN and so on. But this isn't easy to handle from GUI so it would be perhaps easier to configure all attributes for every user.

coming back to AD with PAP
for me it is only one thing to change against webgui:
/usr/local/etc/raddb/sites-enabled/default:

authenticate
{
Auth-Type LDAP {

I am not familar with AD or LDAP so perhaps it is possible for you to give the example - using the pfsense web GUI (Screenshot) or something else how you configured it for your domain :P
So that we know what you filled out for "Base DN" and so on ::)

PS: Which samba package do we need ? Which version ? Link to freebsd ftp ?
I am thinking about to make a possibility to install samba and configure it this was but not installing samba by default when installing freeradius2 package.

Hi Nachtfalke,

I am using the pfSense on an embedded device (ALIX board).
After system boot the file system (/) is mounted as read only.
When starting the freeradius server it reports following error mesages:

Jan 26 20:38:50 radiusd[53305]: /usr/local/etc/raddb/modules/counter[71]: Instantiation failed for module "daily"
Jan 26 20:38:50 radiusd[53305]: /usr/local/etc/raddb/modules/counter[71]: Instantiation failed for module "daily"
Jan 26 20:38:50 radiusd[53305]: rlm_counter: Failed to open file /usr/local/etc/raddb/db.daily: Read-only file system
Jan 26 20:38:50 radiusd[53305]: rlm_counter: Failed to open file /usr/local/etc/raddb/db.daily: Read-only file system

Do you think it is possible to locate these file within the /var/.. or /tmp/… folder.
These folders are RAM drives (/dev/md[0|1]) which are mounted as read-write after system boot.
Could you be so kind to locate also other runtime/temporal files in these folders?

Thanks a lot & best wishes

Hi Hermel,

I am not using an embedded device. Do you know if it is possible to installe pfsense embedded in a VM ?
If there is a way to virtualize this than I could spent some time on doing and testing this. Don't know how much work this will be.

The "db.daily" is a database and needs to be persistent after a reboot.

You can test and edit freeradius.inc starting at line 2544 - 2674:

/usr/local/pkg/freeradius.inc

original:

counter daily {
	filename = \${raddbdir}/db.daily
	key = User-Name
	count-attribute = Acct-Session-Time
	reset = daily

	reply-name = Session-Timeout
	cache-size = 5000
}

counter weekly {
	filename = \${raddbdir}/db.weekly
	key = User-Name

	reset = never
	counter-name = Forever-Session-Time
	check-name = Max-Forever-Session
	reply-name = Session-Timeout

}

counter maxmonthlyupload {

i want to limit bandwith for one user, I enter bandwith limit(upload&downlaod) for
user account but it isnt working, I tried also for MAC address but it dont work, do I
have to enable some rule or?

Hi Nachtfalke,

I have tested the changes you proposed and after a reboot, the server has the status "running"

But root (/) is not mounted as read only.
I currently do not know why.
The only log entries which could relate on this topic are:

Jan 27 00:55:32 php: : freeRADIUS: Switched to pfSense Cert-Manager. Creating new DH and random file in /usr/local/etc/raddb/certs
Jan 27 00:55:29 php: : FreeRADIUS: Restoring the original file from /usr/local/etc/raddb/policy.conf.backup and /usr/local/etc/raddb/files.backup
Jan 27 00:55:28 php: : FreeRADIUS: Restoring the original file from /usr/local/etc/raddb/policy.conf.backup and /usr/local/etc/raddb/files.backup

But today it is too late to make a more detailed analysis and at the weekend I will not be at home, thus I have to shift this topic to next week.

However finally I would like to reply to your comments/questions:

I am not using an embedded device. Do you know if it is possible to installe pfsense embedded in a VM ?
So far as I know this is not possible.

The "db.daily" is a database and needs to be persistent after a reboot.
Well if my understanding is corret, then the files have to be stored at shutdown and restored at boot.
This may be quite complex … I am open minded to support you at the development - also if I do not have too much time.

Have a good time

Hi Hermel,

Jan 27 00:55:32 	php: : freeRADIUS: Switched to pfSense Cert-Manager. Creating new DH and random file in /usr/local/etc/raddb/certs

This error ist related on the certificates which are located in /usr/local/etc/raddb/certs/
So it wouldn't be possible to create and import new certs to freeradius2 because the directory is write-protected. We only need write access if we store there the new certs after this it is ok for "read-only". I think I can fix this idependent from pfsense version (embedded or install).

Jan 27 00:55:29 	php: : FreeRADIUS: Restoring the original file from /usr/local/etc/raddb/policy.conf.backup and /usr/local/etc/raddb/files.backup
Jan 27 00:55:28 	php: : FreeRADIUS: Restoring the original file from /usr/local/etc/raddb/policy.conf.backup and /usr/local/etc/raddb/files.backup

This error is related to the fact that you can switch between the "normal" 802.1X auth (default) or the possibility to enable "Plain-MAC-Auth" in "Settings". I made this because I do not know if there are site-effects when enabling this but as far as I can see that there is no problem. So there shouldn't be a problem for embedded devices.

On weekend I will give thought to this and try to find a solution.

But the basic features of freeradius2 should work so give it some more tests if you found time and post problems.

@filip_pag

i want to limit bandwith for one user, I enter bandwith limit(upload&downlaod) for
user account but it isnt working, I tried also for MAC address but it dont work, do I
have to enable some rule or?

Bandwidth-Limit needs - as most of the settings - support of your NAS. The NAS can be your switch, access-point or pfSense Captive Portal.
The attributes the NAS must understand are the following:

WISPr-Bandwidth-Max-Up
WISPr-Bandwidth-Max-Down

Check your NAS documentation or post the NAS then we perhaps can find out how to handle this.

When using Captive Portal on pfSense then take a look here:
http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/FreeRADIUS_2.x_package#Amount_of_Bandwidth

hm, do I have to put just this in CP index?

count-attribute = WISPr-Bandwidth-Max-Down
count-attribute = WISPr-Bandwidth-Max-Up

this is my index code

The attributes in my documentation are only to show which attributes are needed for this to work. If the NAS does not support these attributes than bandwidth limit will not work. But Captive Portal can do this.

What you have to do is:

Go to:
SERVICES => CAPTIVE PORTAL
scroll down and enable "Per-user bandwidth restriction"
leave bothe fields empty (so all users have unlimited bandwidth).

Go to:
SERVICES => FreeRADIUS => USERS
there you create all users you want. For the one user you want to limit its bandwidth scroll down to:
"Maximum Download Bandwidth" and "Maximum Upload Bandwidth".
There you have to enter the bandwidth limit for the user.
Important: You have to enter "BIT per second"….8Bit = 1Byte and 1024Byte = 1Kilobyte

After you have changed bandwidth limits for a user AND this user is connected while you changed the settings than the will not take effect. So make sure that you disconnect the user after you made changes so that the user needs to reconnect.

PS: Not sure if it works 100% because there seems to be a bug in CP and/or ipfw which counts sometimes different. For example when using "Amount of traffic" then if in real 1MB passes CP than CP sends back 6MB to the RADIUS server.

So do some tests and try to find out how it works.

I've done all you saied ant got this with radtest:

$ radtest test test 172.16.0.1:1812 0 ldskfjldskdfjslkf4
Sending Access-Request of id 16 to 172.16.0.1 port 1812

is that OK?

Yes it is.

Updates pkg v1.5.7:

Added: checks for CA, certs when using EAP-TLS
Added: ability to export certs in .p12 format which can be used on windows systems when using EAP-TLS
Fixed: a bug when NAS shortname contains whitespace(s)
I will update FreeRADIUS 2.x package documentation: How-to for EAP-TLS (LAN), EAP-PEAP (LAN), match common name, match issuer

Hi Nachtfalke,

I've received a patch from freeradius maintainer to compile it with heimdal instead of krb5.

I'll test compiling it but as usual I need help on testing.

:)

Of course I'll do that :)

But help me - I forgot it - what will heimdal improve/change instead of using kerberos ? ???

@Nachtfalke:

Some pages ago, to get kerberos working, we need to force heimdal(A popular BSD-licensed implementation of Kerberos 5) package install.

The issue about VM is not woking with CP. I think I had found a solution here.

In the past, VM is running a Debian and I assigned the IP in manual.

allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.25
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1

Today, I tired to let Debian get the IP from PF's DHCP and then add its MAC to pass list.

auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp

Then it works. Both the host and VM can access the Internet without any trouble.

I will do some further testing later and post the result here.
;)

@zlyzwy

Thanky for feedback and nice to hear that :D
But we both thought that it probably would be a problem of VMware/interfaces and not directly CP and/or freeradius2.

Nachtfalke

Updates pkg v1.5.8:

Added: option to disable weak EAP types for authentication
Added: some checks if it is really neccessary to create new DH and random file
Fixed: description in EAP

@Nachtfalke

I double checked that the CP is now working with VM and host. :)

There is only one condition : use pass-through MAC in CP

If I tried the RADIUS MAC authentication (MAC as username;share secret as password), it will not work..

It's not a big trouble for me because I just wanna to add a few MACs to pass list, and I don't need to manage them with FreeRadius.

Furthermore I did some other basic testing, they all seems to be no problem.
I created the test user in FreeRadius, it's woking properly.
I created the Vouchers in CP and it will work, FreeRadius will also log it. Great.
(note: I found if I need to use Vouchers , I must disable 'Reauthenticate connected users every minute'. Otherwise the client will have to input the code every minute)

I will go online this hotspot soon and give a feed here.

Great thanks for your help and the package~

The same problem goes for me…
I hope that improves as soon as possible

Sorry guys,

Just contacted my provider, they are fixing it right now.

valshare

working again. Thanx!

Why do you use your own site to host things marcelloc?

ermal,

Freeradius2 conflicts with current compiled version available on files.pfsense.org.

We are also testing many different package compilations until whe find a final solution to publish on files.pfsense.org.(asterisk, dansguardian, subversion,…)
Also there are some missing libs to get cyrus-sasl working to(You helped me diagnosing it on postfix thread).

But, if I can have a folder on files.pfsense.org I can publish these packages there ;D
