This is what I am trying to set up:
Cisco AP Aironet 1200 authenticating on a FreeRADIUS running on Linux Redhat 9... it is supposed that the clients (which the most run windows XP in their laptops) should authenticate via the freeradius server in order to gain access to the network. I configured FreeRadius the way that it checks the Linux users/passwords (it doesn't use the users.conf file). I have seen a lot (A LOT) of tutorials and how-to's on how to do this but nothing seems to work fine. I don't know what I am doing wrong (or what I am NOT doing).
If anyone has done this before I would appreciate a lot your help... thanks
Hi Jose,
I'm new to radius myself, so I'm not sure if I can be helpful.
Firstly, it would be good if you could run freeradius in debugging mode (freeradius -X) and show us the output when the error occurs.
A guess at your problem: What user is the freeradius process running as? If it is not root then it may not have read access to the passwd/shadow files that store the users passwords, and then of course can't authenticate.
Having said that, it's best not to run processes as root if it is at all possible, for security reasons.
Hope this helps. Cam
