WPA Radius wireless authentication and CentOS 5

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I previously had WPA radius authentication working from my laptop to my home network with the laptop running Fedora Core 6 and the server running freeRadius under CentOS 4.4 (freeradius-1.0.1-3.RHEL4.3). I'm attempting to move my FC 6 boxes to CentOS 5 so I decided to pick on the laptop first. Unfortunately, I neglected to backup /etc before doing the CentOS 5 install (bad Dave, bad Dave) so I don't have my previously working configuration for reference.

I attempted to follow the instructions at:

http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8017
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8095
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8151

that I had previously used to get the laptop authenticating with FC6. All I can ever get the radius server to spew is:

...
(lots of normal looking stuff)
...
 rad_check_password:  Found Auth-Type EAP
auth: type "EAP"
 Processing the authenticate section of radiusd.conf
modcall: entering group authenticate for request 1
 rlm_eap: Request found, released from the list
 rlm_eap: EAP NAK
rlm_eap: NAK asked for bad type 0
 rlm_eap: Failed in EAP select
 modcall[authenticate]: module "eap" returns invalid for request 1
modcall: group authenticate returns invalid for request 1
auth: Failed to validate the user.
Login incorrect: [spindle/<no User-Password attribute>] (from client Wireless-client port 4 cli 00904bac8f67)
Delaying request 1 for 1 seconds
Finished request 1
Going to the next request
...

As per the referenced articles, for the client I have cert.pem as the certificate file, key.pem as the key file, keycert.pem as the combined key and certificate file and ca.pem as the server certificate file. I've tried all the combinations of the certificate and key files I can think of through NetworkManager and the best I get is the above NAK.

Everything works with either an open AP (*REALLY* bad idea) or using WPA with a pre-shared key. I'd like to get WPA radius working again. Any suggestions (other articles to follow, a howto, how to get free radius to tell me what's wrong, whatever) would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave
