1. Hi,

   i made configuration for Simultaneous -USe and its the same as yours. I asked a lot of questions in freeradius maillist, thay answered that problem is ME)))
   I am weak in freeradius, so i don’t have experience in debuging.

   may be, you can help me.
   I made configuration for Sim_use=1 in radcheck:
   =======================================
   mysql> select * from radcheck;
   +—-+——————————+——————–+—-+——————————+
   | id | username | attribute | op | value |

   | 15 | KeepAliveUserNameAndPassword | Cleartext-Password | := | KeepAliveUserNameAndPassword |
   | 5 | test1@wimax.com | Cleartext-Password | := | test |
   | 16 | test@wimax.com | Simultaneous-Use | := | 1 |

   =====================================================

   As i understood Freeradius has to check radacct for session with acctstoptime IS NULL for Simult users.
   but my Freeradius checks /usr/local/var/log/radius/radacct/ …may be the problem is in this??

   here is thepartof debug after second user with same username connected:

   4) – entering group accounting {…}
   (24) detail : expand: %{Packet-Src-IP-Address} -> 10.169.33.11
   (24) detail : expand: /usr/local/var/log/radius/radacct/%{%{Packet-Src-IP-Address}:-%{Packet-Src-IPv6-Address}}/detail-%Y%m%d -> /usr/local/var/log/radius/radacct/10.169.33.11/detail-20111214
   (24) detail : /usr/local/var/log/radius/radacct/%{%{Packet-Src-IP-Address}:-%{Packet-Src-IPv6-Address}}/detail-%Y%m%d expands to /usr/local/var/log/radius/radacct/10.169.33.11/detail-20111214
   (24) detail : expand: %t -> Wed Dec 14 13:57:54 2011
   (24) [detail] = ok

   can u help me?
   thanks

2. did you removed the comment before sql inside accounting section ? And the same thing before the sql inside session section ?

   #
   # As of 2.0.0, FreeRADIUS supports virtual hosts using the
   # “server” section, and configuration directives.
   #
   # Virtual hosts should be put into the “sites-available”
   # directory. Soft links should be created in the “sites-enabled”
   # directory to these files. This is done in a normal installation.
   #
   # If you are using 802.1X (EAP) authentication, please see also
   # the “inner-tunnel” virtual server. You wll likely have to edit
   # that, too, for authentication to work.
   #
   # $Id$
   #
   ######################################################################
   #
   # Read “man radiusd” before editing this file. See the section
   # titled DEBUGGING. It outlines a method where you can quickly
   # obtain the configuration you want, without running into
   # trouble. See also “man unlang”, which documents the format
   # of this file.
   #
   # This configuration is designed to work in the widest possible
   # set of circumstances, with the widest possible number of
   # authentication methods. This means that in general, you should
   # need to make very few changes to this file.
   #
   # The best way to configure the server for your local system
   # is to CAREFULLY edit this file. Most attempts to make large
   # edits to this file will BREAK THE SERVER. Any edits should
   # be small, and tested by running the server with “radiusd -X”.
   # Once the edits have been verified to work, save a copy of these
   # configuration files somewhere. (e.g. as a “tar” file). Then,
   # make more edits, and test, as above.
   #
   # There are many “commented out” references to modules such
   # as ldap, sql, etc. These references serve as place-holders.
   # If you need the functionality of that module, then configure
   # it in radiusd.conf, and un-comment the references to it in
   # this file. In most cases, those small changes will result
   # in the server being able to connect to the DB, and to
   # authenticate users.

   # Authentication.
   #
   #
   # This section lists which modules are available for authentication.
   # Note that it does NOT mean ‘try each module in order’. It means
   # that a module from the ‘authorize’ section adds a configuration
   # attribute ‘Auth-Type := FOO’. That authentication type is then
   # used to pick the apropriate module from the list below.
   #

   # In general, you SHOULD NOT set the Auth-Type attribute. The server
   # will figure it out on its own, and will do the right thing. The
   # most common side effect of erroneously setting the Auth-Type
   # attribute is that one authentication method will work, but the
   # others will not.
   #
   # The common reasons to set the Auth-Type attribute by hand
   # is to either forcibly reject the user (Auth-Type := Reject),
   # or to or forcibly accept the user (Auth-Type := Accept).
   #
   # Note that Auth-Type := Accept will NOT work with EAP.
   #
   # Please do not put “unlang” configurations into the “authenticate”
   # section. Put them in the “post-auth” section instead. That’s what
   # the post-auth section is for.

16. I wouldn’t use rp-pppoe when you can buy Mikrotik for less then 500USD and it works very good.

    For your case, check this link

20. Check this blog post

    http://www.serveradminblog.com/2012/01/freeradius-install-howto-5-mikrotik-settings/

21. Dear admin,
    I follow this tutorial for freeradius + mysql server for external authentication for my mikrotik router. And I don’t understand, if I try to connect with my nas client (mikrotik), always no response. help me please. (sory for my english) 🙂

22. Go back and check all config files… Check is radius started…

23. Great Blog ! Please more freeradius tutorials like

    – simultaniouse-use with SNMP session alive check on the NAS.
    – restrict users to monthly input+outputoctets via mysql
    – List of usefull AV-Pairs and where to get vendor specific AV-Pair information.
    ( In my case Cisco WCS url-redirects , only find TACACS+ Infromation.)

    These Information are hard to find and would be GREAT ! I’m from Germany and there are no Courses i can take about these Information, even if i would pay for it.

24. hi this is my users file and im strugguling using this in Mysql table ..its working fine in my users file; its a one time password , im using it to authenticate user but i dont really know wich table or wich attribute to use in mysql database
    any help is wellcome
    serveur:/etc/raddb# cat /etc/raddb/users
    DEFAULT Auth-Type = External
    Exec-Program-Wait = “/etc/raddb/otpverify.sh ‘%{User-Name}’ ‘%{User-Password}’ ‘%{reply:Secret}’ ‘%{reply:Pin}’ ‘%{reply:Offset}'”,
    Fall-Through = Yes
    karim
    Secret = e37629f6d057dcc5,
    PIN = 1234,
    Offset = 0

25. for check attributes you should use radcheck and for reply radreply table… Check examples above

26. HI admin, what if I have 2 groups with different priority. Example would be user1 (with priority 1 & group1) would be able to access Server1 and user2 (with priority2 & group2) would be able to access Server1 & Server2. How can I do that in the db and radius configuration?

    Like:
    user1 ->access Server1 only
    user2 -> access Server1 & Server2

27. Hi admin.

    Please, I want to setup freeradius to auth windows wifi clients on a openldap + samba 3 domain. I need pre-auth via eap-tls (certificates) the stations, but the WIndows place the string “host/’ before the CN defined on certificate placed on local machine certificate store, then the search on ldap fails. How process correctly this auth request? The client certificate works fine. Could you indicate some guide for help me?

    Thanks

28. Hi

    I’m not sure but maybe unlang and attribute rewrite option can help.

    http://freeradius.org/radiusd/man/rlm_attr_rewrite.html
    http://freeradius.org/radiusd/man/unlang.html

    The other option can be perl script (Check rlm_perl and exec modules)

29. hi
    ihave freeradius server running in ubuntu
    i want to use cisco access point to relay connection to freeradius server
    the problem is that the server reject users
    i listed the access point in clients.conf and nas table and iam testing with laptop using windows7 os
    i am beginner

30. Run the server in debug. mode and check the output.

32. hi dear admin

    how automatically freeradius disconnect user when use over time or octets?

33. In Expiration field, we have to use the := operator in MySQL.

34. For me it works with “==” and date format “September 11 2009 00:00:00”

    Tested with Mikrotik only

35. i have smartphone + win 8 authentication with freeradius 2.x but windows 7 + windows xp can’t not authentication with freeradius 2.x.
    Thanks!

36. You think I have some kind of crystal ball? Have you ever heard anything about logs, debugging, etc ?

38. Seems like similar problem like on this link http://freeradius.1045715.n5.nabble.com/windows-users-having-trouble-authenticating-td2783717.html

    Set EAP to TLS and try again

39. Hi. I’m fix error. windows 7 not support eap-ttls. Install secureW2 software on win7. Thanks you rep!

40. thanks for this blog
    i need to ask
    if my database oracle
    i can replace authentication , accounting query with pl/sql block in dialup.conf??
    if possible ..how
    thanks

41. Nice blog, one question how can I bind MAC id’s

42. Hi, admin.

    My server is able to authenticate the user from my database but i found that the radacct table is empty. It do not update any info when user log in. I have checked the configuration in /sites-enable/default, sql is uncommented in accounting{}. And i have no idea how to fix this problem as it cause me unable to use Simultaneous-Use and Session-Timeout.

    Please help me . Thank you

43. Check the NAS (radius accounting should be turned on). The 5min. intervals will be Ok.

    If you already checked this, run the server in debug mode and check the accounting records. You’ll be able to see the complete accounting process.

44. Controlling simmultaneous use on Mikrotik you must use PORT-LIMIT attribute besides off simultaneous-use…

45. Session-Timeou is not working. I put Silmultaneous-Use in radgroupreply. I use := operator. Someone can help-me?

46. – Silmultaneous-Use goes in check tables,
    – Session-Timeout in reply tables
    Both with “:=”

47. Hello,

    Hi,

    This is what I send;

    root@be2:/etc/freeradius/3.0/sites-enabled# radtest testuser testpassword 127.0.0.1 0 secret Sent Access-Request Id 28 from 0.0.0.0:42886 to 127.0.0.1:1812 length 78
    User-Name = “testuser”
    User-Password = “testpassword”
    NAS-IP-Address = 192.168.0.25
    NAS-Port = 0
    Message-Authenticator = 0x00
    Cleartext-Password = “testpassword”
    Received Access-Reject Id 28 from 127.0.0.1:1812 to 0.0.0.0:0 length 20
    (0) -: Expected Access-Accept got Access-Reject

    What I noticed is that based on this tutorial, which I followed now .

    https://www.serveradminblog.com/2011/12/freeradius-install-howto-4-populating-tables/

    I should have gotten this:

    [root@ns2 raddb]# radtest testuser testpassword 127.0.0.1 0 testing123 Sending Access-Request of id 228 to 127.0.0.1 port 1812
    User-Name = “testuser”
    User-Password = “testpassword”
    NAS-IP-Address = 192.168.0.10
    NAS-Port = 0
    Message-Authenticator = 0x00000000000000000000000000000000
    rad_recv: Access-Accept packet from host 127.0.0.1 port 1812, id=228, length=54
    Ascend-Xmit-Rate = 524288
    Ascend-Data-Rate = 131072
    Framed-Pool = “internet”

    So, in the tutorial, Cleartext-Password = “testpassword” does not show up. Can it be the error? Does anybody know how to fix it?

    Thanks

    BR

48. Tutorial was written 7 years ago (for FR 2.x) and yes, it seems that “Cleartext-Password = “testpassword”” is something new for 3.x branch.

    Just tested the command and it works fine for me.

    I’m not sure why do you have a problem but please check that FR is connected to database. Also, please check the nas secret since testing123 is the default one for localhost
