I have a Multi Tennant VPN gateway that I terminate multiple customers on. If
I authenticate sessions to local database on router there is no segregation, so
one customer can authenticate to another customers VPN (inserting the
connection into that specific VRF) with any local username password on the
router. I can source radius auth requests from IP's specific to individual
customer VRF's and need to use a segregated username password database to
service these requests. I would like the solution to be able to scale to at
least 100 clients that use individual username/password files. Is the solution
you recommended above the best way to handle this.
For the pap configuration in the model I tried to get working I copied the
default file in sites-available and the only changes I made were adding server
smoothtest { ... } and changing files to second_files in authorize { ... } and
preacct { ... }. Did this cause the pap authentication to break?
So I can understand what you are suggesting:
- create multiple instances of the "files" module, one for each client.
- name them after the clients, so that you can keep track of which
module matches which client. i.e. name them after the client IP
address, for simplicity. i.e.
files files_192.168.1.2 {
...
}
Are you saying make multiple instances inside the existing files module, like
how "second_files" was created, or copy the files module multiple times to
creating client specifi file names and modify its content to files
files_192.168.1.2 { .
- select them dynamically at run-time via a "switch" statement.
- i.e. remove the "files" reference from "authorize", and replace it
with a switch:
switch "%{Client-IP-Address}" {
case {
files
}
case 192.168.1.2 {
files_192.168.1.2
}
...
} .
If I use the above I would only need to add the :
case 192.168.1.2 {
files_192.168.1.2
section for each additional client correct and files module created right?
For this method I should remove the virtual server I created and add the lines
you suggest to the default file in sites-available in the authorize section?
Thanks for the help.

You still haven't explained *why* you need that. You're focusing on a
solution. Instead, talk about the problem. Maybe there's another
solution which is better.

Yes, because you butchered the configuration, and broke it. You
deleted the "pap" module from the "authenticate" section.
Why? Just... why? What possible benefit is there from destroying the
"authenticate" section?
If you *do* want "users" files which are unique per client, there are
a few ways to do it. The choice of solutions can depend on how many
clients you have.
One way may be this:
- create multiple instances of the "files" module, one for each client.
- name them after the clients, so that you can keep track of which
module matches which client. i.e. name them after the client IP
address, for simplicity. i.e.
files files_192.168.1.2 {
...
}
- select them dynamically at run-time via a "switch" statement.
- i.e. remove the "files" reference from "authorize", and replace it
with a switch:
switch "%{Client-IP-Address}" {
case {
files
}
case 192.168.1.2 {
files_192.168.1.2
}
...
}
And don't change *anything* else. Butchering random things in the
configuration files is a guaranteed way to break the server.
