Why are you so keen for 2.2.2 release? The delay is down to an issue which

Hi.

Wondering what authentication method you are using as maybe looking at wrong 
ntlm  check the mschap module for its ntlm_auth incantation.  Also, if you 
have doubts about the AD account used to bind them follow that up.  Get it 
bound in the same way. What does ntlm_auth do on the command line for you?

Some things started acting differently in 2.2.1 compared to previous releases

2.2.2 should revert that so things behave the same - so far that seems to be 
true but we are still seeing stalled module in core messages that we did not

Re: Running RADIUS in permanent debug mode with rotating log

2013-10-03 Thread Alan Buxey
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA256

I really wouldn't recommend running in full debug mode on a production server 
full time... its only single threaded so if you have to service lots of 
requests you have an immediate bottleneck.

What sort of weird problems are you facing? You know you can run on debug mode 
for single users or clients via radmin/raddebug ??

If you really want to proceed then you can use eg crontab to run a script which 
kills all radiusd processes and then starts new debug session with the date in 
the logfile eg

radiusd -X  /var/log/debug-'date +args xxx'

Where + args xx is the date string format you require

Well.  There's no such thing as EAP-TLS/MSCHAPv2 . So I'd guess that your

it to.  If you ran in full debug mode when connecting with the Android device

The default install comes with a few accounting virtual servers that you can 
use.  I'd strongly advise one of the or of band asynchronous ones.

If you use UDP syslog is not blocking. .. it is fire and forget. .. so if you 
might lose packets if you have congested links or a disruption between source 
and destination.  For security throw a VPN tunnel between the hosts.

At the end is whatever floats your boat and is maintainable. . you had a big 
list some of which seem prone to issues and overworked. And why not think of it 
the other way around? Let security have all the logs and then give ops access 
to the data via their system. ..ops then no longer need to worry about data

The only difference I can see is that the first example uses a
plain-text password, and the RADIUS on the LNS is using CHAP?

The backend database has = in the 'op' field (and not :=), so the
returned attribute is Auth-Type = Reject and not Auth-Type :=
Reject, but it is correctly rejected using radtest/radclient, and I
believe the = operand to be correct.

Has anyone seen anything similar; the NAS is a 7206VXR running
12.2(31)SB2 and the backend is FreeRADIUS 1.1?

If you believe that having a RADIUS server signed by a CA that is in the OS of 
your clients is the way you want to go, then simply go and buy a cert from eg 
thawte, verisign etc.

Re: Setting up EAP-TLS as the ONLY authentication mechanism?

2013-03-24 Thread Alan Buxey
All that stuff is on by default to ensure that people who want more than a 
really dumb and minimal server can get up and running without having to try to 
find what combination of stuff needs to be enabled.

So, eg proxying is enabled ..whats the issue? Unless you have actually edited 
proxy.conf to do something it won't do anything , there's no entry in 
clients.conf other than localhost too, so even if you had the required ports 
open to the world, nothing is going to happen.

If all you want is EAP-TLS auth then its very easy to minimise to that 
configmuch much easier than having to learn the server better and trying to 
get there from a minimal config that doesn't work out if the box (ask those who 
have tried doing it that way...look at mailing list history for those that 
stripped the config out before then trying to get things to work)

This isn't Apache, which does have a whole load of things on and can get you 
p0wned on port 80 if you have that open to the world

Re: Upgrading from FR 2.1.10 to 2.2.x

2013-02-13 Thread Alan Buxey
First, check that centos doesn't have the security issue backported

For upgrade, backup your current configuration directory eg

cp -R /etc/raddb /etc/raddb.backup

Then install the new version

2.1.10 and 2.2.0 are config compatible apart from one single option which isn't 
set by default (check the release notes). Freeradius install will not touch 
files that already exist...so you won't get any new options/comments in your 
config files so may lose visibility of any new features in that regard...but 
new config files and modules and virtual servers will appear in your config.

So, radiusd -X of your current server , capture the startup output, then do the 
same again after the upgrade and compare the difference.

Hi,
I wanted to ping the Eduroam people about EAP over WAN links.  Are there
considerations that can cause connectivity issues that I should be
examining? 

depends on how fast your authentication backend is and what your NAS timers are 
set to.

if your backend takes around 1 second to auth and your NAS has a 2s timeout, 
then the
EAP roundtrip time etc could cause that to fail if you have yoru NAS set to 
eg 5s RADIUS
timeout instead then things should be okay... in eduroam we deal with/prpxy EAP 
authentications
from the other side of the world...sites with too low timers on the NAS kit or 
with slow
backend authentication soon find the problems.

happily do EAP

 With this configuration, I guess I don't need realm's LOCAL or NULL?

correct - you will deal with your LOCAL realm by handling your defined realm,
with eduroam you dont want to EVER authenticate a user you hasnt provided
a realm - because , for your own users, they may work finewhen they are at 
your

doesnt work when they go to another eduroam site...and then they'll blame

strongly recommend using unlang to validate that the user has valid realm etc

update the request to use a realm identifier (eg eduroam) and use that in

thus you are only sending valid users upstream (and not all the random typos

 I wonder if a better option wouldn't be something like
 rlm_unixsocket which passes the request down a unix socket in a
 standard format, and takes the reply in the same way. Then the
 various interpreters could run out-of-process.

I was thinking about the same thing the other day after the mumblings
about removing rlm_perl from FreeRADIUS.we dotn need that much really.
just a way of passing some details into external code and passing some details
back (the external code in our case is PERL as its just so darn flexible
and extensible...). i was thinking of having the PERL code running
as a background process like our other PERL code (which removes a lot
of issues and means everything can be nicely threaded etc) with some
'exec'd code to throw the values to it and get an answer back.. rlm_rest
might be an alternative as you say.  


whilst I like omelettes...in our case, we've been simmering a slow-cook stew
with our RADIUS configurations/adjustments/changes over the years so a few new 
broken
eggs for a quick snack might not be to everyones taste (basically all our local
scripts for various servers would have to be rewritten from almost scratch
(the joys of PERL being our local modules/subroutines which can just be dropped
into the new handler/code) 

but a unix socket approach would be far more efficient I feel  (cue the
screams from people with other ideas! )

 This is the RedHat RPM which I believe are maintained by RedHat.
 Hopefully they've back ported any major security issues!

got the changelog for the 2.1.12 RPM release you are running?

 It does both autentication and proxy and I do have status-check
 enabled. On the contraller I increased the default timeout from 2
 seconds up to 8 seconds. At the same time I lowered the

2 seconds is very low for international RADIUS proxying...the traffic
needs to get to the end site...and then be dealt with by the end site
(which may take 1 - many seconds to actually authenticate the user
once the tunnel is created). somewhere around 10 seconds is the maximum
I would expect for global roaming authentication via multple proxy peers

the RADIUS server is at the mercy of the controller and the remote sites...
who might not be answering at all...they could just reject.

I havent seen a sanity error message like that since the troublesome 2.1.7 - 
2.1.9
days when the proxy code got some rewrites in places.

I wonder if your proxy.conf for the home server stuff is correct and not 
flipping requests between remote proxys?

Re: 802.1x Issue

2012-12-03 Thread Alan Buxey
Hi,
Have you guys hear about SecureW2 ?
People from Cloudpath Networks said they can make it work MD5 hash
passwords on 802.1x with TTLS-PAP.
They said i can make it work aswell with EAP-TLS via certificates and PKI.
Is that correct ? Have anyone tested that before ?

i'll repeat what was already said in this thread:


Old Windows systems need an extra supplicant to do other forms of EAP such as 
EAP-TTLS/PAP   - eg open1X or SecureW2 - 
Windows 8 now natively supports such EAP methods 


so...yes, if you have a backend constraint then you can get around this 
by making your customers install a 3rd party program to allow eg EAP-TTLS/PAP
to be used - which means you can use eg MD5 passwords in the backend.

your level of success with such 3rd party supplicants will be mixed and 
varied...sometimes
it wont install, sometimes it has issues with the wireless drivers.

Re: 802.1x Issue

2012-12-03 Thread Alan Buxey
Hi,

So would you recommend ? Your opinion above looks like you wouldnt do
that, since it may not work. Kinda complicated, since we are an
university, and need to work with everyone.

we are a university and we avoid using any extra programs/utils to perform such 
duties
(especially as the OSes now have 802.1X support natively.  we were involved in 
the
OpenSEA alliance a while back and helped evolve the open1x tool but until 
theres a
must-have and compelling reason to go for such a tool (eg perhaps integrated 
single
sign-on with applications via moonshot) then take the basic default OS 802.1X 
where
you can. I believe that SecureW2 was popular in many european countries for 
eduroam
but that has receeded too (and older pre-licence change version is what is used)

Hi,

 Most times you will be able to get the native supplicant working given enough 
 prodding, but prodding on a large scale is unfeasable without some kind of 
 automated tool, because students are really really bad at following 
 instructions.

oh yes, I agree with that - configuration deployment tool = big yes!  - 3rd 
party suppliance = big no  ;-)

 What ever happened to Open1X anyway, last update in 2011, is it pretty much 
 dead now?

ISTR that they got bogged down with the whole TNC/posture vaidation 
thing.the initial
product coming from a company that got divided into the wind (Identity Engines 
IIRC) - with
the opensea alliance just pretty much gone save for some google cached pages 
and wayback engine
storage space. back in 2007 the 802.1X space was a different beast.

Re: About Radius security

2012-12-01 Thread Alan Buxey
Hi,

 But when using this method through a proxy way, wher eis data encryption ?

the TLS tunnel is set up with the remote server - the traffic being passed
through all the interim proxies. so the client only trusts the remote server (ie
the server they authenticate against) - all the traffic is encapsulated within 
the
TLS tunnel (which is transferred in RADIUS packets). so long as the client is 
configured
to trust only the CA of the remote RADIUS server and the CommonName of the 
remote
RADIUS server, you have the PKI assurance.

Re: 802.1x Issue

2012-11-30 Thread Alan Buxey
Hi,

Well, lets say its not possible... since we are an university, with
something about 600 conections every night, with lots of O.S working (70%

we are a university with around 6500 concurrent wireless users and 5000 
concurrent
wired connections in the student residential network. 

windows), it would be kinda hard to configure every single computer with a
software.
Its better to make a new DB with new passwords on EAP and use a .bat + xml
profile to configure windows notebooks.

we use a profile deployment tool - our current choice is cloudpath 
Xpressconnect 
- which does its job. our Windows clients are configured to use standard 
microsoft PEAP
PEAPv0/MSCHAPv2 - our backend authentication is Microsoft ActiveDirectory - our
FreeRADIUS servers authenticate the users via the AD - and we have a post-auth
PERL script which does some checks and then, if eg a student - puts them onto a
student VLAN.  all basic 802.1X and AAA stuff.

we are also a member of eduroam - so visitors to our campus who are also from 
eduroam
sites just get online - most without even realising as they have en eduroam 
profile
on their smartphone or tablet. zero config 'open laptop and be online' - all
done by the same FreeRADIUS architecture.

Old Windows systems need an extra supplicant to do other forms of EAP such as 
EAP-TTLS/PAP
- eg open1X or SecureW2 - Windows 8 now natively supports such EAP methods - so 
those
new surface tablets should make life easier. Just ensure that your settings are 
actually
secure on the clients - ie ensure that the clients are set to trust the CA of 
your
RADIUS server and are set to have the CN of your RADIUS server.
