I have found a working solution for my environment and wanted to share it with the list in case it may help someone else.
In my proxy.conf file I added the following ------------------ realm domainName1 { } Realm domainName2{ } ------------------ That fixed my realm problem, not sure why... We use Microsoft AD and ntlm_auth for authenticating our users through MSCHAPv2 tunneled through a peap session. I have 2 domains one is a child of the other the FreeRADIUS server is joined to the parent domain so it can authenticate users from both domains but passing the correct domain for the user request was a bugger! In the end what I got to work was modifying the ntlm_auth statement at the bottom of the mschap module to be the following: ntlm_auth = "/usr/bin/ntlm_auth --request-nt-key --username=%{%{Stripped-User-Name}:-%{User-Name:-None}} --domain=%{outer.request:Realm} --challenge=%{mschap:Challenge:-00} --nt-response=%{mschap:NT-Response:-00}" *** --domain=%{outer.request:Realm} was the key, now the realm of the request is passed to the ntlm_auth script perfectly and the user is authenticated like we all love them to be : ) This does seem to break the domain\username style of logging in though ... but due to time constraints this will have to do for now. Thanks to everyone who everyone who helped out, especially Alan. Thank you.

Read proxy.conf. It defines the realm names. The "realms" module just searches the User-Name in various ways (suffix, prefix, ntdomain), and then sees if there is a matching realm. > What would be really great would be a script I could use to determine > the domain of the user BEFORE they reach ntlm_auth so I can > prepopulate the command with the correct domain and just forget this suffix stuff : > ) I think the best place for this would be in the mschap module but > what is the language? Would it be unlang or regular bash scripting? The default config documents how to define realms. Alan DeKok. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
