Equivalent of post_proxy_authorize in FR 2.0.5?

2008-08-29 Thread Palmer J.D.F.
Hi,

We are having an issue with inserting dynamic VLAN information in to
proxied Access-Accept packets with FR V2.0.5.
Local authentications do have VLAN info inserted into the accept packet.

In V1.1.7 we use the post_proxy_authorize directive in proxy.conf to
re-run authorize to obtain the VLAN information, however this is
depreciated in V2.
Can someone tell me what method I should use to achieve this for proxied
requests in FR V2?

Many thanks,
Jezz Palmer.

SoH - FR 2.1.11

2011-07-14 Thread Palmer J.D.F.
Hi,

We've started to look at SoH with the intention to implement it for the
new academic session in September, but are having an issue.

The server is setup using the example soh-server, but find that the
condition in the example (below) isn't being satisfied when a client
with no AV returns it's SoH status. (SoH Reply below)
It appears after some trial that only the first of the
"SoH-MS-Windows-Health-Status =" attributes is considered, if I
manipulate the condition to check the firewall status which is returned
first it works. Is this a bug or something I've done wrong?
 
Example condition...
if (SoH-MS-Windows-Health-Status =~ /antivirus (warn|error) /) {

SoH Status Reply...

SoH-MS-Windows-Health-Status = "firewall ok snoozed=0 microsoft=1
up2date=1 enabled=0"
SoH-MS-Windows-Health-Status = "antivirus error not-installed"
SoH-MS-Windows-Health-Status = "antispyware ok snoozed=0 microsoft=1
up2date=1 enabled=1"
SoH-MS-Windows-Health-Status = "auto-updates ok action=download"
SoH-MS-Windows-Health-Status = "security-updates ok all-installed"


Separate to this, an observation from the SoH reply after I'd installed
Microsoft Security Essentials; the two hashed lines below show that
Microsoft Security Essentials is classed as being non-Microsoft.
I presume this the NAP service on the client making this decision, not
FreeRADIUS?

SoH-MS-Windows-Health-Status = "firewall ok snoozed=0
microsoft=1 up2date=1 enabled=1"
##  SoH-MS-Windows-Health-Status = "antivirus ok snoozed=0
microsoft=0 up2date=1 enabled=1" (MSE)
##  SoH-MS-Windows-Health-Status = "antispyware ok snoozed=0
microsoft=0 up2date=1 enabled=1"   (MSE)
SoH-MS-Windows-Health-Status = "antispyware ok snoozed=0
microsoft=1 up2date=1 enabled=0"   (Windows Defender) 
SoH-MS-Windows-Health-Status = "auto-updates ok action=download"
SoH-MS-Windows-Health-Status = "security-updates warn
some-missing"

Thanks,
Jezz.

Thanks Phil & Arran,

I keep starting reply emails and another arrives before I get to send
them.

I've tried array hack, that fails even with 'firewall' as the condition.
if ("%{SoH-MS-Windows-Health-Status[*]}" =~ /firewall/), where as if
(SoH-MS-Windows-Health-Status =~ /firewall/) is satisfied.

Implementing SQL Insert/logging for SoH.

2011-08-02 Thread Palmer J.D.F.
Hi,

Further to my last foray onto the list regarding SoH, I'm looking to
commit the returned SoH info to the radius database using FreeRADIUS'
sql connection.

I could be well off target here, but please humour me, so far I have...

Created a table 'radsoh', and declared this inside sql.conf. 
Added a query (soh_query) to dialup.conf, at present this simply just
inserts User-Name to the table.
Declared soh_query in rlm_sql/conf.h
Declared soh_query in the 'module_config' section of rlm_sql.c
Declared a function, rlm_sql_soh, which is essentially a copy of
rlm_sql_postauth into rlm_sql.c.
Added rlm_sql_soh to the export section of rlm_sql.c.

It compiles and runs, but here is where I run out of ideas.

Presuming I'm on the right track, what else is required to enable the
query, and how would I make the call to execute the query? 
Ideally the call should be made from the with SoH virtual server defined
in raddb/sites-enabled.

Thanks,
Jezz.

Good stuff. :)

The source of rlm_sql.c still states only ...
"*  sql xlat function. Right now only SELECTs are supported."

We'd already tried - Tmp-String-5  := "%{sql:INSERT into radsoh
(sid,data) VALUES (NULL,'ss');} - but it wasn't encapsulated in an
'update request {.. ..}' statement so failed, schoolboy error.  
I did some digging on interweb which said INSERTs not possible, then
read the above comment in the 2.1.11 source, so gave up on xlat then.

All sorted now though.

Thanks,
Jezz.

RE: Blackberry disabled server certificates query

2012-01-20 Thread Palmer J.D.F.
We have endless amounts of trouble connecting Blackberrys, they are
hateful things.
Some devices will use the certificate, some won't connect unless cert
validation is disabled.  Some don't have the option to disable cert
checking, and some won't connect at all.
For a essentially single vendor device they have the most varied and
random configuration idiosyncrasies between devices, even of the same
model. Due to this variance we no longer try to offer online support for
them, users are asked to bring them in to be looked at (and hacked at)
to connect them.

But yes, if possible you want to be enforcing cert validation, but in
practice it's not always possible.

Setting Reply Attributes Based on Time of Day?

2012-02-23 Thread Palmer J.D.F.
Hello,

Is there a function within FR to schedule certain attributes to be
returned in the Access-Accept reply?

Essentially we return a QoS VSA along with VLAN information on a
successful auth, however between certain times of day there is more
available bandwidth so to be kind to our users we'd like to return a
different QoS level to during these bandwidth abundant periods.
Does such a mechanism exist?

Many thanks,
Jezz.

Excellent, thanks for the point in the right direction, Alan.
The %H variable is a string so wouldn't enumerate as above, so have done
this...

if ( "%H" =~ /(02|03|04|05|06|07|08)/ ){
  update reply {
Airespace-QOS-Level = "2"
  }
}

Not particularly elegant, but is doing the job.  
Would there be a more efficient way to do that?

And finally, is there an internal variable for day of the week?

Cheers,
Jezz.

Unreliable Dynamic VLAN Assignment?

2009-09-20 Thread Palmer J.D.F.
Hi,

We're having a bit of a problem with FreeRADIUS not always including
VLAN information in access-accept packets; I've not been able as yet to
establish what the cause is so I thought I'd throw it out to the list if
there's something others have come across.
Needless to say our testing through the summer had not highlighted this
issue, but now we have 3000 students trying to connect it's become
apparent.  

A bit of info, we're seeing this issue in both FR 2.1.1 and 2.1.7, and
our NASes are Cisco WiSM.
Users' VLAN info is stored in the SQL usergroup table.
I have an sql.athorize statement in the Post-Auth section of both the
default (outer), and inner-tunnel conf files.

Initially I thought it was only clients with an anonymised outer
identity that were having this issue, which seemed plausible as the
sql.athourize in default would see the outer and fail to find it in sql
(though wouldn't explain why it works sometimes); but it appears not to
just these users, as we're now seeing users who are not using anon
outers having the same issue.

Another thought was that fast-reauth could be the issue, in that somehow
a fast-reauth request was not doing a Post-Auth sql.authorize and
therefore not sending back the VLAN info?

I fully expect it's a config issue, but any insight would be gratefully
received.

Currently I do not have CCKM enabled on the controllers, but for some
time I have been considering enabling this to take some load off RADIUS,
and also wondered if it would help this current problem. Is there
anything to be wary of with CCKM?

Many thanks,
Jezz Palmer.

Proxy/Realm problem in 2.1.7

2009-10-07 Thread Palmer J.D.F.
Hi,

Since upgrading FR to 2.1.7 from 2.1.3 and 2.1.1 on our 2 servers
there's been an issue with our proxy pool.

There are three servers in the auth and acct pools, but unless I comment
two of them out (as below) I receive a 'Request Denied' message back in
response to the first access-request packet that is proxied to one of
the auth servers.

Is this a bug in 2.1.7, or is there a difference in configuration file
format between the versions?  

# POOL Server config...

pool_config {
test_username = 'test-u...@remote-realm.com'
test_password = '***'
secret0 = '***'
secret1 = '***'
secret2 = '***'
}

realm pool {
nostrip
auth_pool = pool_auth
acct_pool = pool_acct
}

# Server Pools
server_pool pool_auth {
type = client-port-balance
#   home_server = pool0
home_server = pool1
#   home_server = pool2
}

server_pool pool_acct {
type = client-port-balance
#   home_server = pool0
home_server = pool1
#   home_server = pool2
}

home_server pool0 {
status_check = request
username = ${pool_config.test_username}
password = ${pool_config.test_password}
ipaddr = server0.net
secret = ${pool_config.secret0}
port = 1812
type = auth+acct
}

home_server pool1 {
status_check = request
username = ${pool_config.test_username}
password = ${pool_config.test_password}
ipaddr = server1.net
secret = ${pool_config.secret1}
port = 1812
type = auth+acct
}

home_server pool2 {
status_check = request
username = ${pool_config.test_username}
password = ${pool_config.test_password}
ipaddr = server2.net
secret = ${pool_config.secret2}
port = 1812
type = auth+acct
}

Proxying requests with source port 1815?

2009-10-27 Thread Palmer J.D.F.
Hi,

Just experienced a bit of strange behaviour, or at least seems strange
to me.

One of our FR 2.1.7 boxes has been proxying access-requests with a
source port of 1815, to which the authenticating server has replied to
with an access-accept on port 1815, only there is no listener for port
1815 running on the box and hence fails.
This was happening to ~50% of requests, but once one failed the FR box
was marking the authenticator dead.
It started yesterday following a FR restart for a small config change
(added a client to client.conf), I restarted it about an hour ago and it
seems to be behaving now.

Is that as odd as it seems, or am I missing something?

Thanks,

Dynamic VLANing and anonymous identity on re-auth?

2009-11-02 Thread Palmer J.D.F.
Hi all,

Is it possible to use anonymous outer identities with dynamic VLANing?

We have a problem with reauths when using anonymous outers, the initial
login is fine and the VLAN is assigned using sql.authorize, but re-auths
only seem to use the outer identity and hence no VLAN information is
sent back in the access-accept packet.

On a reauth, the only mention I see of the real username is...

[peap] Adding cached attributes to the reply:
User-Name = "test-user"
[eap] Freeing handler
++[eap] returns ok
Login OK: [anonym...@swansea.ac.uk] (from client wism port 29 cli
00-26-69-04-a7-f7)

Is it possible to capture this brief appearance of the real username to
run the sql.authorize to get the correct VLAN info?
Fast re-auth is disabled in experimental.conf (FR 2.1.7)

Many thanks,
Jezz Palmer.

Does the inner-tunnel get called on a re-auth? As said the only time I
see the real username on a re-auth is when it appears to be produced
from the cache.

At what point can I copy it?
 
I have sql.authorize sections in post-auth on both the inner and default
sections, I've tried putting them all over the place. :-D

I reinstated 2.1.8 this morning after having set the cache size to
infinity (was the default 255) but the problem still exists.
Caching is enabled in eap.conf, but does fastreauth need to be enabled
in experimental.conf?  It is currently disabled.

Whether this has any bearing on it I'm not sure, but this seems to be
affecting users that use wpa_supplicant more, though Windows users have
also reported the problem.

Do you mean under the cache directive?
If so that is set to 48 hours, yet failure occurred within 30 minutes.
Our wireless controllers have a 1800 second client session timeout,
forcing a reauth every 30 mins.

Below is an excerpt of the radpostauth table for an affected user, it
shows the user re-authing every 30 mins though the night. 
I migrated back to 2.1.8 (from 2.1.7) at 08:41 this morning.  The client
reauthed successfully once after the reload at 08:48, but then fails at
the first 30min session timeout after that.

Cisco AP Vlan assignment when proxying EAP-PEAP?

2005-11-08 Thread Palmer J.D.F.
Hi,

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to proxy EAP-PEAP from a Cisco Aironet
to an IAS server via FreeRADIUS (I can do this bit), then, set the user's
VLAN information within FreeRADIUS in the access-accept packet returned to
the AP?

Also, is there a way to return an access-accept with a 'dirty' VLAN ID, even
if the IAS server rejects the user?  The idea being that the user would be
put into a dead end VLAN so they could get info on how to register to use
the service.

Many thanks,
Jezz Palmer.

Cheers Josh. :)

That's pretty much the way we do the Roanmode stuff.
Just wasn't sure being EAP whether you could mess around with the return
packet.

Do you have any cunning solutions to how you might get around the reject
issue?  
I'd imagine it's quite a common scenario, IE wanting to let users know that
they are doing something wrong as opposed to just rejecting them. 
This must be one of the only redeeming features of web redirect. :-D

Yes - write a script that outputs the relevant attributes to stdout, and 
specify it in an "exec" clause in radiusd.conf, making sure you set 
packet_type = access-accept. Invoke the exec clause by placing it in 
post-proxy section. For example (assuming you've got the proxying working):

assign-vlan.sh:

  #!/bin/bash

  VLAN = "123"

  # We can also grab the RADIUS username attribute from the environment.
  # USER = $USER_NAME
  # This might be useful if you wanted to drop users
  # into different VLANs.
  # if ( $USER == "[EMAIL PROTECTED] ); then
  #  VLAN = "666"
  # fi

  echo "Tunnel-Medium-Type = 802"
  echo "Tunnel-Type = VLAN"
  echo "Tunnel-Private-Group-ID = $VLAN"

  exit 0

radiusd.conf:

  exec assign-vlan {
program = "/path/to/assign-vlan.sh"
input_pairs = proxy-reply
output_pairs = proxy-reply
wait = yes
packet_type = Access-Accept
  }

  authorize {
...
# Make sure you put this AFTER the clause that invokes proxying
assign-vlan
...
  }

No; only a couple of attributes are permitted in Access-Reject packets.

I don't think it would be possible to "catch" Access-Rejects from IAS 
and cunningly turn them into Access-Accepts, either :-/ (well, it would 
be possible, but you'd need to hack FR to do this).

FreeRADIUS with PEAP(MSCHAPv2), MySQL and LDAP?

2006-01-17 Thread Palmer J.D.F.








Hi, 

 

I am currently trying to create a new auth system for our WPA
802.1x WiFi network.

Thus far I have the server authenticating using PEAP(MSCHAPv2)
against a users file containing a simple test user/pass pair.

What I would now like to do is use MySQL to contain user
data such as the VLAN to be assigned to that user and which LDAP server their
account exists on, then use LDAP to verify the credentials.

The idea being that a PEAP request comes in, tunnel gets
built etc, the user gets looked up in the MySQL database, the credentials are
then authenticated against the correct LDAP (or RADIUS) server, then on success
an access-accept along with the user's VLAN is passed back to the NAS.

 

The question is, is it possible for PEAP(MSCHAPv2) and LDAP with
MySQL to interact in this way?

 

Many thanks,

Jezz Palmer.

RE: FreeRADIUS with PEAP(MSCHAPv2), MySQL and LDAP?

2006-01-18 Thread Palmer J.D.F.
Hi Phil,

Many thanks for the reply.
I'm sorry the detail was lacking I'll try to explain myself a little better
now.

Firstly, what we do already and why I want to use MySQL...

At the moment we run FR as a RADIUS proxy that proxies requests to a number
of RADIUS servers based on the username.
Presently we use the 'users' file to do this, the users file is built from
our mail tables; amongst other things the users file maps a username to a
home RADIUS server and a VLAN; basically I want to use MySQL to replace the
users file; I don't want to actually authenticate against details in the
MySQL database.

The reason we use the mail tables is that it contains every user and the
respective server that their mail goes to, we use the SMTP server name to
determine which domain a user's RADIUS requests should be sent to.  
We use the Proxy_To_Realm directive in the users file to forward a user's
request to the correct server.

The reason I now want to use a database is because it will give us the
ability to add more user data fields and a database would be more
manageable, as the current users file has 38554 entries and is growing.

Why I want to use LDAP...

All of our user data is held in various MS ADS or Novell NDS directories,
currently we run an IAS machine on each of our AD domains to handle the
proxied requests forwarded by the FR server; my thinking was that it seems a
little pointless to have these IAS boxes if I could use FR to set up the
PEAP tunnels then verify the user's credentials against the appropriate
domain's LDAP server.

I ideally want to use PEAP(MSCHAPv2) though, mainly from a support, but also
from an encryption strength point of view; however it appears that unless
something clever can be done to verify MSCHAPv2 against MS or Novell LDAP it
looks like I may be stuck with the nasty IAS boxes.

I hope that makes some sense. 

Many thanks,
Jezz Palmer.

Proxying on Realm and NAS?

2005-05-19 Thread Palmer J.D.F.
Hi,

Could someone tell me if it's possible to use Freeradius to proxy radius
requests to different radius servers depending on a combination of a user's
realm and the originating NAS-IP-Address; or any other distinguishable NAS
variable for that matter.

I have two types of NAS and what I'm trying to achieve is to send requests
from one NAS type to one radius server, and from the other NAS type to
another server.  The user's realm in both cases is the same.


The setup looks a little bit like this...

 /[RADIUS LOCAL 1]
[NAS Type 1]\   /
 |---[Proxy]--[RADIUS LOCAL 2]
[NAS Type 2]/   \
 \[RADIUS PROXY REMOTE]


The different scenarios I have are...

[EMAIL PROTECTED] & NAS Type 1 should be forwarded to RADIUS LOCAL 1
[EMAIL PROTECTED] & NAS Type 2 should be forwarded to RADIUS LOCAL 2
[EMAIL PROTECTED](default) & either NAS type should be forwarded to RADIUS PROXY
REMOTE.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] requests can also come in from RADIUS PROXY REMOTE and
should be forwarded to RADIUS LOCAL 2.

The bottom line is, can the NASes identity be used to steer the proxy
request?

Many thanks,
Jezz Palmer.

RE: Proxying on Realm and NAS?

2005-05-23 Thread Palmer J.D.F.
Hi,

Thanks for that Alan. :)
I have been looking at this today but it doesn't appear that I can 'pass'
the user's realm (from the username [EMAIL PROTECTED]) into the users file as an
attribute?  
Is that the case or am I looking in the wrong place?

For example I want to be able to do this but it doesn't work, is there a way
that I can achieve this?

foo.com and foobar.com are my two local realms, NULL realms are also used
locally. 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2 are both local RADIUS servers, 192.168.0.1 is
a remote radius proxy server.

A Request from NAS 10.0.0.1 should get forwarded to rad1, unless the realm
is 'unknown' but not NULL, in which case it should be forwarded to rad3.

DEFAULT NAS-IP-Address==10.0.0.1, Realm==NULL, Proxy-To-Realm := rad1
DEFAULT NAS-IP-Address==10.0.0.1, Realm==foo.com, Proxy-To-Realm := rad1
DEFAULT NAS-IP-Address==10.0.0.1, Realm==foobar.com, Proxy-To-Realm := rad1
DEFAULT NAS-IP-Address==10.0.0.1, Realm==unknown, Proxy-To-Realm := rad3

Similarly, A Request from NAS 10.0.0.2 should get forwarded to rad2, unless
the realm is 'unknown' but not NULL, in which case it should be forwarded to
rad3.

DEFAULT NAS-IP-Address==10.0.0.2, Realm==NULL, Proxy-To-Realm := rad2
DEFAULT NAS-IP-Address==10.0.0.2, Realm==foo.com, Proxy-To-Realm := rad2
DEFAULT NAS-IP-Address==10.0.0.2, Realm==foobar.com, Proxy-To-Realm := rad2
DEFAULT NAS-IP-Address==10.0.0.2, Realm==unknown, Proxy-To-Realm := rad3

Finally, all incoming RADIUS requests from the external server (which is
actually Rad3) should get forwarded to rad2.

DEFAULT NAS-IP-Address==192.168.0.1, Realm==foo.com, Proxy-To-Realm := rad2
DEFAULT NAS-IP-Address==192.168.0.1, Realm==foobar.com, Proxy-To-Realm :=
rad2

In theory that is what I want to achieve, but unfortunately the Realm
attribute doesn't appear to work like that.

Any help would be gratefully received.

Many thanks,
Jezz Palmer.

RE: Proxying on Realm and NAS?

2005-05-23 Thread Palmer J.D.F.
Thanks Alan,

Realms are listed before the files, I'll look into using regular
expressions.

Cheers,
Jezz.

  The realm module sets it.  So you have to list "realms" before
"files". an "authorize".

  Or, use regular expressions.

mod_radius, apache2 and the auth cookie.

2005-07-27 Thread Palmer J.D.F.
Hi,

Is it possible to set the timeout for the auth cookie used by the mod_radius
authentication module to 0; by Zero I mean no time, not infinite time?

Or, is there a way that I can clear the cookie on a failed login?

At present, if a user login fails the user has to close the browser and open
another in order to be able to re-enter their credentials, I want to try to
get round this if possible.
It doesn't matter that the login will timeout immediately.

Many thanks,
Jezz Palmer.

Effectively yes, see the description of what I'm trying to do below.

If I get a failed login, then try to login again it just uses cached
credentials and doesn't prompt for details, if I close and re-open the
browser it does then allow me to enter details.
I guess it may not be a cookie if one isn't set, but the credentials are
being cached somewhere.

So far this has only been tested with IE on a patched up but otherwise std
XP machine.

The reason for the authentication is to log into a web-redirect gateway.
An iptables rule redirects any un-authenticated IP/MAC pairs to the login
page; on a successful login the page (a php page which resides in a
protected folder) adds some iptables rules to allow that particular client
(IP/MAC pair) through the gateway.
This is why it doesn't matter that there is an instant timeout, as the
client will not need to access the page again until his/her connection times
out and the 'allowing' iptables rules are removed.  The removal of stale
connections is handled with a cron job script that compares iptables entries
to the arp table on the internal interface, if there are iptables rules for
an IP/MAC pair, but no arp entry for them then the iptables rules are
removed.  
Quite crude, but it works.

In summary, I have index.php that users are redirected to, this page
contains a 'Log In' link to a page in a protected folder /gateway/go.php
when they click the link they are challenged for credentials, if they are
correct then /gateway/go.php loads setting some iptables rules, if it fails
then we are currently loading a page called failed.php that explains to the
user that they need to shut down the browser and open a new one and try
again.

An aside to this, is it possible to have a couple of text boxes on the login
page where the user/pass are entered which are then sent to mod_radius, as
opposed to having a pop up user/pass dialogue box?


Thanks,
Jezz Palmer.

The gifs etc are located in an unprotected directory, surely this prevents
from having to re-authenticate for each?

Firefox and Opera are also broken in that case. :-(

A bit of a dig around reveals this from the Apache site, which implies that
all browsers cache the credentials.
