Hi,

After several days of not finding another path, I am trying to see what I have 
done wrong in terms of the eap-radius integration. It appears Strongswan is 
producing an Access-Request packet with the following attributes: User-name, 
NAS-Port-Type, Service-Type, NAS-Port, NAS-Port-Id, NAS-IP-Address, 
Called-Station-ID, Calling-Station-Id, EAP-Message (last segment), 
NAS-Identifier, Message-Authenticator.

One of the attributes for doing MS-CHAP-v2 is not in it. I thought that those 
might be vendor specific attributes 26:311 (I have experimented with the 
forwarding of attributes ike_to_radius = 26:311 but did not change anything).

I have configured the eap-radius servers in strongswan to point first to IAS 
2003 and it fails, as it expects PEAP and cannot handle EAP-MS-Chap-v2. I have 
then pointed it to a Windows 2008 NPS server and it fails, with Access-Reject - 
looking at the packets I don't see the MS-CHAP-v2 Challenge attribute coming 
through. [Short version: the password is not coming through in the 
Access-Request when eap-radius is involved]

The configuration is under IKEv2 type, I was able to bypass the radius stuff by 
simply doing a righauth=eap-mschapv2 using a local secrets file. I wanted to 
switch to radius based authentication and authorization. The client is windows 
7 - I have tried both EAP-MS-CHAPv2 and PEAP-MS-CHAPv2 with the eap-radius 
configuration and it did not work.

We are using strongswan-5.2.2 on centos6. I have looked at the examples and 
just cannot get the password to come through, only the attributes I initially 
listed.

Thank you for your help.

Steffen
