Applications :: Setting Up A Radius Server?
Dec 27, 2010
I need to set up a Radius server for use in an ISP which will be wireless internet only.
I had thought to use Centos maybe and install and somehow configure Freeradius.
I have little experience with Linux, but am a Windows Admin, and use Linux a little.
My questions would be: Is there a best distro that i should use?? I have used Ubuntu the most, but not sure if it is best to use for this project.
Freeradius website has documentation but it doesnt tell me much about how to get it all up and running, What we want is Authentication and Accounting and from what i can see Freeradius is a good option? Is there anything better that i can use? We will be eventually having approximately 5000 clients.

I have one more machine with redhat linux on which i have installed pam_radius-1.3.17(client machine IP 10.150.113.4).
I have done the follwoing configuration at both sides
SERVER SIDE.

I have installed FreeRadius to a Debian Linux server.I have configured an account called Support to run the Radius as I didn't want Root to be the user to run this.I want Radius to start up automatically after the system is rebooted but I don't know how to do this. I am new to Linux so please bare with me. If the system is rebooted, is it possible for the Support account to be logged in automatically? Is there a script I can create to automatically login the Support account? This may not be secure but it has been requested. Also the main question is after a reboot can the Radius be configured to automatically start without the need for someone to login? So if the system is rebooted and then goes back to login prompt, can the Radius then be running?
I have had a good search about scripts but with my limited knowledge it isn't too easy.
After reading it also said something about using rc.radiusd which will automatically start Radius after a reboot, but again I cannot understand exactly what I need to do.Please can someone help out with this and let me know if I am on the right track? Will the start-my-radius.sh script work after the system is rebooted without someone actually login and how do I get it to work?Please explain clearly as this is all a bit technical for my liking and not understanding it well!

How to configure Web authentication against RADIUS server on Debian Jessie, because the package libapache2-mod-auth-radius is not available on debian mirrors.
I would like to know what happened to this package and what is the newest way to configure radius auth. Some people have told me to compile this package, but is there not an easier way to do that?

this is all I need simple VPN with authentication to external Radius server. Here is what I have done to try and get this goal accomplished. 1st try using PPTPD and Radius plugin No matter what I have tried (long explanation here [URL].. I can't get PPTPD to talk to my Radius server, even though I can authenticate using the same server and radius server using pam radius. PPTPD just won't, and so far the POTOP mail list has been quiet since my post to them and no replies/ideas in my other post, see forum link above.
2nd try using OpenVPN and their pam auth plugin. I give up on this one! I have the server working great BUT! As soon as I enable the plugin /usr/lib/openvpn/openvpn-auth-pam.so in the config I get this when trying to start the VPN server. kernel: [3725586.167177] openvpn[28364]: segfault at 0 ip 00007fd6e5e38fb4 sp 00007fff434f18f0 error 4 in openvpn-auth-pam.so[7fd6e5e38000+3000] Google turns up nothing on Segfaults on the openvpn-auth-pam.so Ug at my wits end, anybody have any other suggestions? I'm at a total loss ATM.

I'm trying to set the default apps using gnome-default-applications-properties. In previous versions I was able to set custom apps for everything. Looks like Gnome3/Ubuntu 11.04 doesn't let me do that for, say, the mail reader. I'm one of those people who still use Alpine, and in previous versions I was able to set the default to run an xterm (well, aterm) which auto-ran alpine.
This version, looks like that's not there. I'm wondering if there's a way to set that anyway. like registering a script I write as a "mail client" so it's available in the chooser. Second... and almost MORE annoying... the "Terminal Emulator" default app DOES have a custom option. But it also recognises that I have aterm installed, which I want to use as the default app... however, since it has an aterm option, it won't let me enter aterm as a default command. Which I want to do because I want to modify the commandline options. But if you choose "Custom" and type "aterm" into the Command field... it ERASES your commandline options and puts it's default sterm options in!

I have two applications that I would like to always open up in Workspace 2, even when i restart my computer. Is there a GUI solution that can do this? One of the apps is the Sound Preference window I would like set to open with the input tab selected.

So far Ive read it says to create a script in /etc/init.d which Ive done and named start-my-radius.sh I think Ive made It execuatable by chmod 777, if thats right?
The script looks like this:
But I dont know if thats even right? The radiusd is located in the /usr/local/sbin/ and the radacct and radius.log is located in / usr/local/var/log/radius
Some stuff I have read says it needs to link into /etc/rc.d but there isnt a rc.d directory, I have other rc directories which are rc1.d rc6.d.
After reading it also said something about using rc.radiusd which will automatically start Radius after a reboot, but again I cannot understand exactly what I need to do.

I just wanted to share something with you all. If this belongs somewhere else let me know.I got the idea from this thread.I wanted the show mouse effect to not rotate around my mouse (just a preference)and have the emitters directly under my cursor. So by editing two files it gave me the desired effect to an extent.
1. Just in case back up your compiz settings.
2. Open a terminal and type - sudo nautilus . It'll ask for your admin password.
3. The file manager should now be open, go to /usr/share/compiz/showmouse.xml copy the file and rename the copy to showmouse.xml.bak.
4. Open showmouse.xml with the text editor.
5. Scroll down to the bottom and look for the "radius" section. Go to the <min>10</min> entry and change it to 2. Save.
6. Go to /usr/lib/compiz/libshowmouse.so copy the file and rename the copy to libshowmouse.so.bak.
7. Open the file with Ghex and search for the string radius on the right side of the search box.
8. It'll look like a jumble of words, but look after the word radius and find <min>10</min> change to 2. Save.
9.Compiz should now disable itself.
10. Reboot and re-enable Compiz and try out the show mouse plugin, it should now allow you to use a smaller radius.

My startup script for Radius now works so it starts at boot time, the script is in /etc/init.d and looks like this
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/sbin/radiusd -d /usr/local/var/log/radius/radacct/ -d /usr/local/etc/raddb/
After rebooting radius starts up automatically which is what I want.
However for security I dont want this to run under root, but I want to it run under a user and group called support
I have edited the radius.conf file and added
# for some finer-grained access controls.
#
user = support
group = support

I was asked to setup 802.1x Port Based Authentication for users connecting to a Managed Cisco Switch. From what I was told, it should work like this:
- User plugs workstation into switch.
- Workstation asks user for radius credentials.
- Workstation is then able to authenticate to the Radius server.
- After workstation is authenticated, the switchport then becomes unrestricted and allows the workstation to communicate on the network.

I have created a Radius startup script in /etc/init.d for Debian which looks like this:
Now this works but when I boot my server it shows as ready to process requests and it doesnt login. I cant get a login prompt. If I do a CTRL C to try close this it doesnt work and just shows CTRL C on the screen, I can type in kill radius but nothing happens.
I guess its because my script is in debugging mode, most of the suggestions for a script said I should use:
However the radiusd a doesnt work and if I try to run using command radiusd in it comes up and says invalid command and I dont have the option to use
So if this script runs on my server, I could connect to the server through a putty session via port 22 and log on fine and do what I need too, but if I try to connect to the server directly after boot its just sitting on ready to process requests and I cannot do anything when directly at the server. On one particular server I didnt have the network confg right so I couldnt putty to it and now Im a bit stuck. Will I need to rebuild my server? As I canït break out of this ready to process requests and I cannot login as its just sitting there, I have tried connecting through serial management via my laptop but I cant do anything this way either the only way I could do anything was if I could get through to the server on putty.
There must be a way when directly at the server to cancel the radius and get logged in? As Ive mentioned CTRL C doesnt work. I can get to the ok prompt but not sure what command to use and if I could change the network config at the ok prompt or if I could somehow cancel the startup script at the ok prompt? I thought I could use the init commands to start the server without the script starting but the init commands don�t work and the server just sits there.
Also I guess I shouldnt be using radius X in my startup script, to prevent this problem is there something else I should be using? I tried using radius x (the small x) and I hit enter and then no process for radius starts .

Because our visitors/customers are short term, and may be configured incorrectly with their own mail servers we automagically redirect all port 25 traffic going to internal IP's to our own mail servers while on our network.(postfix on centos 5.6)While I have taken some measures to prevent it from spamming, I would greatly appreciate some assistance.I will be putting in clamav, but I haven't configured it yet with the mail.I am using postfix, but can also put on procmail or even spam assassin

Having some issues setting up sendmail on a (basically) blank RHEL 5.5 server setup. My ultimate goal is to be able to automagically send logs / errors / notifications to ourselves from the server.
Our basic setup is a Win 2003 domain with exchange running on mail.domain.com.au.
I've edited the '/etc/mail/sendmail.mc' and added the :
Code:
line to it.
Also added the domain (domain.com.au) to the '/etc/mail/local-host-names' files
Also edited submit.mc and added
Code:
When I try and send a mail from root or a test user to one of the domain accounts, it seems to go fine, i.e no errors are reported but it never gets delivered.
From the mail logs:
Code:
So it seems to be sent to the queue no problems and when I check the queue :
Code:
Total requests: 0
Not nothing ever gets received. Am I missing something? I have read and read and read but dont seem to be getting any furthur.
So in the end this server doesn't need to do anything except be able to send mail from root to an external mail address.

I was using Red Hat 7.3 forever and decided it was time for a change. I went to Fedora 10 but it was really buggy. CentOS 5.2 is VERY stable.Here is my problem.The server is command line only -- I tend to hate GUI"S.I setup Samba no problem disabling the ports needed through the firewall and that was straightforward.CUPS is a nightmare for me since CentOS locks down the cupsd.conf and then the firewall does its thing. I allowed port 631 through the firewall but then got lost on the cupsd.conf. It's been too long and the old redhat one won't work with CentOS (not surprising since it's a VERY old system) straight-forward CUPS tutorial for a command line interface. I just need it to be:
a) do this
b) do that
