FREERADIUS SERVER PROBLEM

Post by tecksonic » 2011/10/01 19:43:52

Hi

I have a Centos 5.5 virtual machine on my computer and i've configure a freeradius server in it...
the problem is that i'm not able to communicate the AP and the radius server, i've configured the client already, and configured the AP with the secret, port, and ip server...

when i do a radtest for localhost works fine..the packet is accepted...but with the AP there is no response..
i ping the AP and it's fine... so the last thing that i've done is the tcpdump to the AP to see what's happening
it seems that the request is being sended...but there is no response....can anyone help me with this??

thank u

FREERADIUS SERVER PROBLEM

Do you have iptables running and have you allowed the radius port from outside?

The Centos Firewall is deactivated...so iptables is not running
and all the ports are allowed for the virtual machine
i'm new in this centos and freeradius issue so excuse me if that wasn't what you meant

If you are sure that the firewall is disabled then the command below should say

[code]
# service iptables status
iptables: Firewall is not running.
[/code]

If so then have you checked the ports that radius is listening on? Maybe you have it set to listen only on localhost?

[code]
netstat -antup | grep 1812
[/code]

should show you the ports that are open and listening.

Yep, the firewall is not running..i checked

and this is what i get when doing netstat

[root@localhost radius]# netstat -antup | grep 1812
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:1812 0.0.0.0:* 12186/radiusd

it means that the port is listening any ip right? or am i wrong?

It looks that way but from the lack of any response in your tcpdump output, it still looks to me like your firewall is enabled. When you run tcpdump it 'sees' the packets before they go through the iptables level so it will list packets that are subsequently dropped by iptables rules. I was hoping that you would post the output from `service iptables status` here to show that it was actually not running but...

Otherwise I think your next step is to put the radius log level up to debug and check the logs there to see if it indicates any activity at all.

[root@localhost ~]# service iptables status
El cortafuegos está detenido. >> it means the firewall is not running


this is the debugging output for the localhost, the last log for radius.log says the authentication was accepeted for the localhost...

when im doing the radtest for the AP...nothing appears in the debugging output and the radius.log either

Could you re-run your tcpdump with the -n -nn switches so that the ip addresses and port numbers come out as numbers and not as translated port names.
