We need certain information to answer questions. One piece of which is the debug output. That's why we ask for it DAILY on this list.

That's what I want. I don't want copies of your configuration. If I had wanted copies of the configuration, I would have asked for them. Please follow instructions. A MAJOR reason why people have trouble is that they refuse to follow instructions. Alan DeKok. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html

Hi Alan, The reason I didn't post the debugs and config files was because I thought there might be an easy explanation which one of you would be able to spoon up without any trouble. Especially because nothing is broken and everything works as it's supposed to. I'll get back with a debug log and the config after the weekend.

Because it's doing different searches. See the debug output for more information. It's all in there. Really. That's why we tell people to read it, and to post it here.

Question about differences between possibilities of authentication
Hi All, The last week I've had my first encounter with FreeRADIUS as we were supposed to deploy eduroam. I had a lot of fun doing it although I have dreamt about the config files after a couple of days :) Everything is working as it should so no worries there, but I'm curious about something. I configured the proxies and the local realm. When I did a radtest like this: radtest che...@localdomain.nl password 127.0.0.1 1 secret I would get an Accept-Accept. The debug output would show that first a bind and then an LDAP search is performed in our eDirectory. Okay! Fun times I thought, let's try it on my mobile phone because a test account I got from an academic institution in the UK worked so local authentication should work as well! I entered the credentials but now comes the difference. Using a Wifi device made the LDAP search fail because it tried to authenticate the u...@domain.nl in stead of stripping the suffix. I've been staring at the config files to see if I got the LDAP-filter defined two times somewhere but that doesn't seem to be the case. Now, this wasn't a really big problem because users can be pretty stupid and we decided to let them authenticate using their email address in stead of their username@domain which would to too much confusion for them. The LDAP filter was: filter = "(uid=%{Stripped-User-Name:-%{User-Name}})" Is now: filter = "(|(cn=%{Stripped-User-Name:-%{User-Name}})(mail=%{User-Name}))" The proxy.conf lines right before it's defaulted to eduroam: realm ettyhillesumlyceum.nl { } Anyone has an idea why radtest would behave differently from an 802.1x login?
