Hi All, I m a new member of this fast growing mailing list. i had just started working on FreeRadius version 1.0.1 on RedHat Linux release 2.4.18-3 I had encountered problem in authenticating user based on his/he password.
As per man radiusd, When testing, start off by configuring a user and password in the users file. So long as the server knows about a user, and has a clear-text password for that user, almost all of the authentication methods will just work". BUT , this is not working at all !! I removed the comments from the entry for user "dialbk" at line 113 of the file "/raddb/users" Then i did ./configure ; make clean ; make all; make install If now i run "radtest dialbk callme localhost 0 testing123" , debug prints on RADIUS server shows the following result : User-Name = "dialbk" User-Password = "callme" NAS-IP-Address = 255.255.255.255 NAS-Port = 0 Processing the authorize section of radiusd.conf modcall: entering group authorize for request 2 modcall[authorize]: module "preprocess" returns ok for request 2 modcall[authorize]: module "chap" returns noop for request 2 modcall[authorize]: module "mschap" returns noop for request 2 rlm_realm: No '@' in User-Name = "dialbk", looking up realm NULL rlm_realm: No such realm "NULL" modcall[authorize]: module "suffix" returns noop for request 2 rlm_eap: No EAP-Message, not doing EAP modcall[authorize]: module "eap" returns noop for request 2 users: Matched DEFAULT at 152 modcall[authorize]: module "files" returns ok for request 2 modcall: group authorize returns ok for request 2 rad_check_password: Found Auth-Type System auth: type "System" Processing the authenticate section of radiusd.conf modcall: entering group authenticate for request 2 modcall[authenticate]: module "unix" returns notfound for request 2 modcall: group authenticate returns notfound for request 2 auth: Failed to validate the user. My question is when users file has an entry for "dialbk" at line 113 , why does it give a match at line 152. [users: Matched DEFAULT at 152] even though i had reissued make install. Now if i add the user "dialbk" to my system, it will give Accept but again (if i guessed it right) this is due to match DEFAULT at 152, Auth-Type = System. so that it will look into /etc/passwd for "dialbk" Can anybody plz look into this .. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
