Hi,

Not, I think, a Debian related question - but I can't be certain. PF
was working well, validating against freeRadius, itself validating
against LDAP. I completed the upgrade to 1.9.1 and the radius
authentication stopped working (apparently a known issue according to
the first clause of the UPGRADE doc). I posted a question about that
with no response so far. So I am dropping radius mediation and having
PF validate directly against LDAP. It's set up as a 'public' server
(within our intranet) so I had to make the following mod to
conf/authentication/ldap.pm to have PF make 'anonymous' access to
LDAP :

near line 130 -

from :
my $result = $connection->bind($LDAPBindDN, $LDAPBindPassword);

to:
my $result = $connection->bind;

Authentication against LDAP now works fine.

However, a user logging into the network is now left in the
'registration' vlan. Previously, using the old PF version and
authentication against radius, the process went to completion and the
user was transferred to the 'regular' vlan. Here, the user is trapped
in 'registration'. I've checked and the switch port has been moved to
the 'regular' vlan but the last step doesn't happen and the user is
left hanging.

Any ideas ? Insight ? Critique ?

Thanks in advance.

Best,

Chris
