Re: Configuring Free Radius to do MAC Address Authentication (PLEASE HELP)
I'm running freeradius with SQL so I might be wrong here if I tell you that the account should be looking something like this in your users file. aabbcc-ccbbaa Auth-Type := Local, User-Password == testing The password should be the same as the secret of the Incoming Client (Router) This is what the clients file looks like.

I have it like that, but the wireless card won't authenticate. I also have no way of adding the mac address to the passwd file, because usernames have to start with an alpha character. _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

Can someone give me an example of what an entry will look like in the users file for MAC Address authentication. I think I got the clients.conf file setup correctly, but I'm not sure.

Re: Configuring Free Radius to do MAC Address Authentication
This information is quite helpful, but I still have a few more questions. Again I appreciate the help people have been giving me. 1. Edit your raddb/clients file and add the IP of your NAS in there with the secret. ( By this you mean the ip of my access points? correct?) 2. In regards adding the mac addresses as users so they can be authenticated, I try adding them to my passwd file using adduser and userconf I'm running redhat 7.2, and I get invalid user. I asked around in a couple of linux channels and they told me that a username can not start with a number. In regards to the format I am using xxyyzz-xxyyzz. If possible to paste a clip of a users file to make sure I have it set correctly and in regards to the clients (access points) I just follow the format of the clients file. Thanks again for your help you people here have been very helpful.

Re: Configuring Free Radius to do MAC Address Authentication
Do you use your passwd file in unix or the users file in raddb? I try using my passwd file in linux, I keep getting invalid user when I use that format using any type of adduser utility. I could add it manually to the passwd file, but I just wanna be sure the system will recognize it and actually yest that does help out. One more question though if you could get back to me as soon as you can. The access point I'm using has 2 MAC addresses 1 is the ethernet mac address that gets attatched to the network and the other is the wireless card mac address that the access point uses to communicate with the other wireless cards.

Re: Configuring Free Radius to do MAC Address Authentication
Hi David , had the same problem a few days ago , but luckely with the help of this fine group of people here I got it sorted out. 1. Edit your raddb/clients file and add the IP of your NAS in there with the secret. 2. All you need to do then is to add the Mac address of the end user as the UserName and the secret of the Nas that your client is connecting from as the Password. Make sure you put the mac address in the following format. xx-xx.
