 John,

 Have you had any luck? I will be moving shortly to push the port
 version to 2.1.10 and would love to include these changes if they
 seem to work for you.

 Let me know!
 -r


Well, I can say that it doesn't break any current functionality that
we've been using. I unfortunately have been quite busy and haven't
gotten the chance to get this new server set up. However, we discovered
some issues with our LDAP setup that are posing a delay in getting my
test server running. I think I have most of them ironed out but have yet
to get to
test my FreeRADIUS install against e-dir.

I have a feeling the patches work, but can not currently back it up. I
can however say that my current config from my production server still
works on my test server with the patches, so it doesn't appear to be
breaking anything, at least, not anything that I use anyway.

 Thank you for the patch Olli.  If this works out for John I will get
 this committed to the port.
 
 Please let me know when it has been tested.
 
 Thanks,

I can say that it builds with no errors and that an initial radiusd -X
runs with no errors. However, I have not had the chance to configure
it to our network to test if it can talk Novell or not. I would think
that since it compiles installs the files that FreeRADIUS needs on the
Linux installs, that it would work on FreeBSD. Hopefully I'll get the
chance to test it later this week. I'm the only one working on this
and being in K-12 education, I don't have much time for this as I'm
also handling most of the regular day to day help desk tickets.

Doing only MAC auth with WEP on our wireless semi-guarantees that it
is one of our laptops connecting and that's enough for the powers
that be for now, but I'd rather combine MAC auth with login names and
certificates to make sure that it is one of ours. Also plan on
switching to WPA as well on the wireless and enabling RADIUS on the
wired so that we know only our machines are being plugged into the
network.

But I digress, I will get back to you as soon as I get the chance to
configure FR to talk to Novell and do some tests.

Thanks,

freeradius2 port with e-dir

2010-09-17 Thread John D McDonnell
Around 3 weeks ago, I had asked on the list about how to compile 
FreeRADIUS 2 with support for e-directory. I had been hoping to get an 
answer back by now from someone with a success story of using FreeRADIUS
2 
on FreeBSD with Novell E-Directory for a backend. With the (very) old 
freeradius1 port, there is a toggle in options for e-dir support, but
that 
is missing in the freeradius2 port.

It was verified by the FreeRADIUS mailing list that support for 
E-Directory needs to be compiled in. I've not had a chance to set up the 
new server yet, but that should be happening in the next week or two.
With 
the imminent release of 2.1.10, I may just set the rest of the server up 
and wait for that to install FreeRADIUS.

I tried looking through the Makefile but I didn't find any reference to 
edir there. Would it be possible to add the E-Directory option back or
at 
least provide the option within the Makefile even if not available from 
make config? (Or just tell me I'm an idiot and show me what I missed
that 
gets it to build with e-dir support. ;))

Thanks in advance.

FreeRADIUS and E-Directory

2010-08-27 Thread John D McDonnell
Hello, I've a question about compiling FreeRADIUS with
E-Directory support. In the FreeRADIUS 1.x branch, there is a
toggle in options for compiling with support for e-dir. In the
2.x branch, there is no toggle. I have sent an e-mail to the
FreeRADIUS mailing list and had it confirmed that FR still needs
to be compiled with the e-dir option, but they were not sure how
to do that in FreeBSD. While we are currently only checking MAC
addresses, I would like to switch to usernames in order to tell
who is using which computer when and need to tie into our Novell
servers.

Please reply to the list as I check the list with a different e-mail
address. (It's an exchange account and I've found my mail to the
list bounces.)

Thanks in advance!
