Hello Talented and Knowledgeable PacketFence Gurus!!
We use Nagios in our environment and I need to set up a service monitor for the
Packetfence system. I'm already monitoring the server itself for the various
stuff, disk, memory, cpu, etc., as well as the various relevant processes. But
what I need is something that will permit me (or rather nagios) to go through a
full dry run to verify that a user would be able to login using Radius. I have
a test user account defined in our Active Directory and if I use it to actually
attempt to log in with a real system on a real switch, it works fine. So that
much is working okay. But when I try to just do a radius check from nagios
(located on another system) with the same user and credentials, I keep running
into all sorts of roadblocks such as "CLI Access is not allowed by PacketFence
on this switch", etc. I have tried a number of different switch and
configuration combinations, especially attempting to use the "PF::MockedSwitch"
type as that seems the most reasonable, seeing as how nagios isn't a real
switch. I've gone in and told it to permit CLI access (CliAccess=Y) and all the
variations I can think of-- but nothing seems to work out. There is nothing
wrong with the PacketFence system in general. We use it all day every day and
have been for well over a year now. So it's just trying to get something set up
for testing / monitoring that I'm having difficulties with. I'm fine with any
type of Radius check as long as it uses the user defined in Active Directory
and can return the answer to a remote system (i.e., the nagios system). I don't
need it to do any vlans or special handling. Just verify that the user could
log in as far as PacketFence is concerned.
Can anybody offer any advice or assistance on this?
Thanks!
John Whitten
