The EAP Tunnel should terminate on the last RADIUS where the user belongs. On your RADIUS only the EAP-Tunnels for your users should be terminating. Read http://www.dfn.de/content/fileadmin/1Dienstleistungen/GWIN/sonstiges/Konfiguration-freeradius.pdf it is for DFN-Roaming, but it is the same as EDUROAM. regards Helmut - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

I do not want to terminate the EAP tunnels for the foreign realms, but I have to terminate the local one (@tu-darmstadt.de and NULL) as I have to forward the requests to a set of internal radius servers not capable of speaking EAP.

Set Proxy-To-Realm := LOCAL for the realms you want to terminate locally. Make sure that this is done before the "eap" module is run in the "authorise" section. Then, put the following in the "users" file to proxy the inner request to another realm: DEFAULT FreeRADIUS-Proxied-To == 127.0.0.1, Proxy-To-Realm = oldservers 2.0.0 should have a much more fine-grained way to control this.

It works for GTC, PAP, and MS-CHAPv2. The server can terminate PEAP, and proxy the inner EAP-MSCHAPv2 session as plain MS-CHAPv2. With the new virtual server support, it's now possible to have the inner tunnel session run through it's own virtual server, independent of the outer tunnel session. Just set "Virtual-Server = foo" via "update control", and the inner tunnel session will be run through "server foo". 30 lines of code changed: incredible new flexibility.

I guess if it's just working off EAP-Type then it's functionality can be replicated in unlang ... I've just seen a few requests with people saying how can I limit EAP to xyz. Can you clear something up for me with inner/outer identity. The outer identity is in the User-Name attribute , it's a standard RADIUS attribute... Inner identity is encoded in the EAP message, and is pulled out by the EAP module prior to internal proxying and set as the User-Name attribute (which should overwrite the User-Name attribute in the request) ? And it's standard practice to leave the outer identity as anonymous, as the only communication between the NAS and the Supplicant is EAP based when using EAPOL, and so the NAS would have to understand EAP to be able to extract the User-Name string and write it into the Access-Request packet ? So although the NAS must send an EAP-Identity-Request when the client connects it's not required to understand the EAP-Identity-Response ? Thanks, Arran - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

In fact, since the inner identity is normally sent in an encrypted EAP flow, the NAS would have to break the encryption to access it. Basically the NAS can't see the inner User-Name > > So although the NAS must send an EAP-Identity-Request when the client > connects it's not required to understand the EAP-Identity-Response ? Correct. One final thing to add - the EAP standard specifies that in the final Access-Accept, the radius server (which DOES know the inner User-Name) should copy it to a User-Name attribute in the Access-Accept - so, the radius server tells the NAS what the user is. This is *slightly* complicated because by default, FreeRadius proxies the inner EAP to itself, so when it sends that Access-Accept it sends it to itself; and you need to "use_tunneled_reply" to actually get that back to the NAS. That is: NAS: Access-Request [EMAIL PROTECTED] SRV: Access-Challenge NAS: Access-Request [EMAIL PROTECTED] SRV: Access-Challenge NAS: Access-Request SRV: SRV(outer): Access-Request [EMAIL PROTECTED] SRV(inner): Access-Accept [EMAIL PROTECTED] SRV: SRV: Access-Accept [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hope that helps. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

Nope; see RFC 3579 for the gory details: "the NAS MUST copy the contents of the Type-Data field of the EAP-Response/Identity received from the peer into the User-Name attribute" The use of "anonymous" is simply to preserve privacy; it's not a technical requirement of any EAP method (that I know of). An interesting tangent: note that "end-user identity hiding" is simply a "requirement" of RFC 4017 ("EAP Method Requirements for Wireless LANs"), which I think is a shame. > So although the NAS must send an EAP-Identity-Request when the client > connects it's not required to understand the EAP-Identity-Response ? For the reason given above, it *does* need to understand the EAP-Identity-Response. But that's about it! The NAS is a pretty dumb device. josh. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

And indeed as the RFC states, the User-Identity needs to be set in the access requests for none EAP aware proxies. I suspect FreeRADIUS may count as one of these, as for all intensive purposes as it provides no mechanism to proxy arbitrary segments of an EAP conversation on inner identity alone.

Reason why I was asking is because most of the tests on the JRS test website seem to break when you base the reply in FreeRADIUS, on the inner identity as opposed to the outer identity. So FreeRADIUS will copy all the attributes from the last attribute request into the internally proxied request, and base the reply to the NAS, on the attributes coming back as the result of the internal proxy. I have to do it like this else I get lots of duplicate reply attributes and things overwriting other things when they shouldn't. PEAP seems to work ok, but all the other TTLS tests break. Trying to track down what the issue is... I'll post some debug traces when i've moved the latest CVS to our "production" server. -- Arran Cudbard-Bell ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Authentication, Authorisation and Accounting Officer Infrastructure Services | ENG1 E1-1-08 University Of Sussex, Brighton EXT:01273 873900 | INT: 3900 - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

I'm surprised at that, IIRC (and I did write the code originally :-) the tests use the same name for inner and outer. Still, it would probably be best if you raised a ticket with JANET Customer Services as this is a bit OT for this list. best regards, josh. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

The NAS doesn't proxy the packets by user name. It just sends them to the locally configured RADIUS server. The NAS doesn't really set the user name, either. It just copies it from the EAP packet sent by the supplicant. > Yes but it still needs to grab various attributes from the SQL database, > and I thought a different query was run for post-auth ... as in the one > that logs reply packets ;) ?
