FW: MS AD / OpenLDAP with PAP - is it really not possible ?

2010-05-20 Thread Pawel Cieplinski

Hello

I have got application that allow only to authenticate using PAP method. My 
Goal would bo to use Active Directory as a abckend User Database, but I found 
that: 

Once the PAP authentication test has been successful, the next step for sites 
using Active Directory is to configure the system to perform user 
authentication against Active Directory. The clear-text passwords are 
unavailable through Active Directory, so we have to use Samba

Is it true ?

The same page describing to use ntlm_auth instead, But I cannot found how to 
pass attributes from LDAP Database using ntlm_auth to Radius Client.

Is it possible to reply attributes from LDAP using ntlm_auth ?

Best Regars
Pawel.

RE: NAS list update without restarting radius server.

2008-01-23 Thread Pawel Cieplinski
Hi Liran

I think, that will have to be a solution, i havegot also an idea to run two
instances of server on one machine on diffrent ports and redirect ports
using iptables, for egzample:

Radius A listening on ports 1820-1821 

Radius B listening on ports 1822-1823

Variable server_on;

Start script is to run both servers and tell ip tables to redirect ports
1812-1813 to 1820-1821.

Variable server_on is set to A;

And reboot server script is checking server_on value:

If server_on == A then 
{   reboot server B;
tell iptables to forward request to server B;
server_on = B;
} else {
reboot server A;
tell iptables to forward request to server A;
server_on = A;
}

Theoreticly non working server is idle and not taking resoures.

The only thing i dont know yet is switching while request is operating eg:
user send auth_request... Get response, and we swithed servers before
accounting.

Its just an idea, maybe it will be useful to someone

I think that having 2 servers running in master/slave and constantly
exchanging the roles between them is highly a compromise for reading
once in a while a cached nas list and updating it every now and
then.

The interval to update the nas list can be user defined and will
solely 
depend on your system being able to support it. Ofcourse I wouldn't
recommend doing it every second but a reasonable time is in place
I think.

Also I'm thinking that like most services in the world changes take
affect 
only after a limited time which you can enforce in a policy.
For example, you tell your users or whomever operates the nas list
that
changes to the nas are affected only after 3 hours and set that time
as
the interval for freeradius to re-build the list. 

Very much like that is what happens with DNS record updates for
example
(although for somewhat different reasons) which you have to wait at
least
a couple of hours if not the full 72 hours for the dns records to
update 
on servers/routers across the globe.

Run two servers:

every time NAS list will be changed. After adding a NAS
primimary will not
respond (unknown NAS) so NAS will ask secondary instead)
also request from 
other nases will not be lost becouse primary is not
restarded on NAS list
change.

What do you think ?

RE: authenticating with PIN only not username and password.

2008-01-23 Thread Pawel Cieplinski
Its simple

Pin will be a be a username
And password will be hidden on login page eg:

form name=login
input type=text name=username  -- your pin
input type=hidden name=password value=default -- hidden
password
/form

And radius needs to store usernames (pins) and passwords (default for all)

Thats how i see it

2008-01-23 Thread Pawel Cieplinski
Hi there
(its me again :P)

Another problem:

How to assign users to a NAS ?

In radcheck i got entires for 4 users (A,B,C,D) and 2 nas  (I and II)

But i want to assign somehow users A and B to NAS I and users C and D do NAS
II

(eg: user C using NAS II should get Acess-Reject - wrong username or
password )

I found out that it is possible using REALMS - check calling station id
And separating databases: User A and B and NAS I are id sql1 and C,D,II in
sql2
But this way doing it could be quite dificult for longer run.


Other option i have in mind is to add a record or table and match Usertable
and Nastable together and change SQL entires for authentication like :

Select * from radcheck where username=calling user and nas=calling station
(example).

Is there any simplier method to group users and nas together ?

Thanks for answering my stupid questions

 It's more complicated than that.  The NASes need to
be deleted, too.
And this has to be done without affecting normal
server operation.

 As always, patches are welcome.



Well, every given interval a query will run on the database
server to get the 
list of nases and it will build a new linked list based on
that and delete
the other nodes and free the pointers of those.

I guess that coming up with a method to check against each
nas if it's 
there or not, and to remove or add it based on a check is
do-able
but would probably face some efficiency issues where-as I
think it
would be proper to create a new linked list with whatever
nases that
query returns and free the previous linked list from memory.


I haven't had a look at the relevant code but it seems quite
basic
to implement unless I'm over-seeing some critical aspects
:-)

I'll be glad to take a look if you can refer me to the
current piece 
of code where freeradius handles the nas lists read from the
database
and stores them.

Liran Tal.
