Sorry as I am not an expert in radius but if I do not set "Auth-Type =
LDAP"
how do I ensure that the authentication goes thru ldap.
LDAP is an authentication server? That's news to me.
All the users have their passwords stored in ldap and therefore I
hope to utilise the ldap to do the authentication.
LDAP is a database. Let FreeRADIUS read the passwords from LDAP,
and have FreeRADIUS do the authentication.
FreeRADIUS is an authentication server. LDAP is not.
Hi Alan, Melvin,
LDAP does provide some authentication -- through the 'BIND' statement.
Incidentally, this is how the FreeRadius rlm_ldap module chooses to
authenticate against an LDAP entry... it attempts to 'bind' to it, passing
the username and password to LDAP.
I have successfully integrated FreeRadius & LDAP -- I can get you my
config entries if you would like. It worked with OpenLDAP practically
out-of-the-box.
