Tiger Server and RADIUS Support?

[gw1500se]

It appears there is some type of RADIUS authentication support in Tiger server but I cannot really find much detail or if it is really what I can use. I have a Cisco router on which I have a VPN server configured. What I would like is to get away from maintaining the local authentication database and use my LDAP database (to enforce password rules). Is this possible using Tiger’s RADIUS support and if so can someone point me to some documentation on how that might be set up. TIA.

You might want to check out Elektron Enterprise Edition from corriente systems. I have heard good things. It backends radius into OD.

Thanks for the reply. It looks to me like that is mostly for Wi-Fi and overkill for what I need.

I found something called Radiator which looks a little closer. Does anyone have any experience with that?

Radiator and Elektron are not free. There has got to be a free “not-pretty” solution that works for tiger with mysql support.

I have tried all of the image installers:
http://homepage.mac.com/andreaswolf/public/freeradius_installer.html
and this:
http://home.sw.rr.com/jguidroz/radius.html

But neither have mysql support working.

I have also tried to build various versions of FreeRadius from source, and all have built fine, but don’t include mysql support. I try to force the support and the build breaks (they say they are by default built with sql support).

on startup of freeradius with sql support turned on in the radiusd.conf

I get an error like this:
lm_sql (sql): Could not link driver rlm_sql_mysql: dlopen(rlm_sql_mysql.a, 9): no suitable image found. Did find: ?/usr/local/lib/rlm_sql_mysql.a: unknown file type, first eight bytes: 0x21 0x3C 0x61 0x72 0x63 0x68 0x3E 0x0A
rlm_sql (sql): Make sure it (and all its dependent libraries!) are in the search path of your system’s ld.
radiusd.conf[14]: sql: Module instantiation failed.
radiusd.conf[1798] Unknown module “sql”.
radiusd.conf[1727] Failed to parse authorize section.

Without the options on it starts fine and I beleive it even authenticates locally which for me also authenticates via ldap.

I need mysql support as well, for our users of network services that do not have an entry in LDAP and never will!

any ideas? hate to jack the thread may start a new one.

Hi,

What about FreeRadius?

You can compile for Tiger …

I use it for WiFi authentification, but it doesn’t matter, will work with CISCO VPN as well.

He tried Freeradius- MySQL support is what he needs. Anyone have success with this?
