Greetings,

I work a lot with FreeRADIUS.  We have it connected to OpenLDAP instead of AD, 
but the work is the same.

Instead of hard-coding the Filter-IDs into the configuration for FreeRADIUS, we 
simply put them in LDAP.  AD should have a field for you to define the 
Filter-ID.

We try to store as much as possible in LDAP.  This way, we don't have to modify 
the configuration on all of the FreeRADIUS boxes if we want to add a new 
Filter-ID.  This is more of a suggestion and not meant to be a fix for your 
problem.

On to the problem.  You mentioned that you can put a bogus Filter-ID in the 
FreeRADIUS configuration and it does not impact how users are allowed onto the 
network.  So if RADIUS has a Filter-ID of "IlovePoodles" and the HiPath 
controller only has "TechAuthPolicy" defined and the user always ends up in 
"TechAuthPolicy" one can deduce that the HiPath is ignoring what ever RADIUS is 
sending to it.

I'd start looking at debug output from the HiPath and work my way back to the 
FreeRADIUS box and AD as far as troubleshooting goes.


Thanks,

Subject: [enterasys] HiPath, FreeRADIUS + Filter-ID & Policy Issue

Hi Everyone,

I thought I'd run this by the group before I opened a support ticket. I am 
migrating from M$ NPS to Linux/FreeRADIUS integrated with AD. I have it all 
working and can authenticate just fine except I can't seem to limit users to a 
VNS by using Filter-ID. So, I'm authenticating with winbind and authorizing 
with ldap. I even have the LDAP group lookup working great and having 
FreeRADIUS return a Filter-ID based on the group membership but the HiPath 
doesn't seem to be reading this. It works with NPS but not FR.

Excerpt from users:

DEFAULT Ldap-Group == "DEPT_IS"
        Filter-Id = "TechAuthPolicy",
        Fall-Through = 0

Excerpt from freeradius -X:

Sending Access-Accept of id 89 to 10.0.0.1 port 33716
        Filter-Id = "TechAuthPolicy"

TechAuthPolicy is the name of the policy in the HiPath controller. I can change 
the configuration line in the users file for the policy name to something 
complete invalid and it still let's me connect to this VNS. Again, this works 
fine with NPS but not with FR.

Has anyone seen this? What other information can I provide?

Thank you!

Stephen

P.S. The reason we're moving to FR is so we can use public, not self-signed, 
keys for easier wireless configuration for 3000 students
