Steve,

 

Your wireless access point is sending the MAC address as the username and 
password. Change the username and password in the users file and the 
authentication will work.

 

rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 10.10.18.241:2160, id=7, length=53
        User-Name = "00215c-08b25d"         <---  This came from the wireless 
access point
        User-Password = "00215c-08b25d"    <---  This came from the wireless 
access point

Subject: FR Using MAC Authentication

 

Hi -

I have just started tinkering with Freeradius, I built an Ubuntu 8.10 server 
box and installed FR --> sudo apt-get install freeradius*. It installed in a 
breeze and tested fine. I have setup a HP420 AP for testing, it's chattering 
with the FR box fine (I think).

I want my wireless clients to do MAC authentication via the FR box. I have 
setup my users file to auth two of my test laptops:

000E35-84610A Auth-Type := Local, User-Password == "esradius"
00215C-08B25D Auth-Type := Local, User-Password == "esradius"

When either tries to connect up, in the FR debug I see:

rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 10.10.18.241:2160, id=7, length=53
        User-Name = "00215c-08b25d"
        User-Password = "00215c-08b25d"
  Processing the authorize section of radiusd.conf

The authentication eventually fails:

rlm_pap: WARNING! No "known good" password found for the user.  Authentication 
may fail because of this.

Why is the User-Password the MAC address and not what is specified in the users 
file? I have only tweaked the users and clients.conf files.

Just simple MAC authentication, that's all I want at this point.

Thanks in advance!

- Steve
