Secure tunnel to freeradius

2013-08-05 Thread Rahul Godbole
Hi

We have a a supplicant that is our own box doing client 802.1x
authentication using freeradius. We do not establish a TLS/IPSec connection
between the supplicant and freeradius. We need to establish a secure
channel between the supplicant and freeradius.

Can someone please tell me whether any such thing is supported in radius?
Is yes, it would be great if I you could point me to the corresponding
config files and code.

Thanks
Rahul

Um, yes, that'd be EAP.

 RFC 6614

That's encryption between the NAS and the RADIUS server, and yes FreeRADIUS 3.0 
does support radsec.  But chances are your NAS doesn't.

NAS or supplicant?  a supplicant never talks to the RADIUS - its all done
via the NAS. 

there are plenty of options to you - you already have thought about one
method - use a VPN (DTLS/IPsec based...up to you) to tunnel the RADIUS though.

or , if the NAS can do it, think about RADSEC - FreeRADIUS 3 supports 
RADSEC and its the way to go unless you want to forget RADIUS and use DIAMETER
instead.

'tls' virtual server in HEAD version of FreeRADIUS (currently version 3 in beta)

if you NEED to tick to FreeRADIUS 2.x (as you 'need' to secure) - then
RADSECProxy can be put in as a brudge between your remote and the FR instance

Rather I need a secure channel between a 802.1x Network Access Device (
like an access point ) and freeradius.
