^_^ \***/---- Radius Server Not Responding ----/***\ ^_^

Hi, I am setting up a Hotspot using Freeradius on Fedora Core 6.

when I log in the Username and password in my internet browser the following happens:

–Freeradius running on Fedora Core 6 with SELINUX and Firewall disabled:

1.- Radiusd -x displays that it it receiving the username and password from the NAS (Mikrotik).

2.- It allso displays that its sending the reply to the NAS.

–RouterOs:

Running winbox I get:

ip—Firewall—Connections:

I get the radius server sending some paquets in to the RouterOS but nothing happens.

I have tried many things, I got the following scenario:

ADSL MODEM (SENDS DHCP)------>ROUTEROS-----
–>SWITCH/HUB----FREERADIUS SERVER RUNNING FC6

I am doing the testing on the same radius server (I am trying to log in to the hotspot using the machine witch is also the sever) would this represent a problem??

I am using WINBOX to do all the configuration, I don’t know how I could extract that configuration into command line so I can post it here.

But basicly this is what I did:

Interfaces:
–The NIC that is connected to the ADSL ROUTER I changed the name to “public”
–The NIC that is connected to the SWITCH/HUB I changed the name to “local”

ip/dhcp client:

Please, What could be wrong??

If my radius server is working fine and all the messages displayed by radiusd –x show good results, Then… I could Only think that the problem resides in RouterOs Configuration.

Is it anything else that I need to modify in the configuration in order for the RouterOs to recibe the replies from the Radius Server??

This was solved by:

login in the hotspot with the fedora core 6 (using the web browser of the machine witch host the radius server) and then it all works fine.

Make shure your radius servers are loged in the Mikrotik hotspot before you begin.

I hope you find this hellpfull.

Best Regards. :smiley:

I am trying to setup hotspot with freeradius server on FC-5. I am not getting it up. Please
would you show me step by step guide what you have done ?

Its hard to put all the steps in here, tell me what is the problem so i can hellp you, give me more details, if posible, post your mikrotik configuration here

I need help to configure Linux box with Freeradius. Just tell me how you configured freeradius.

I used a program called Radius Manager, it is a billing solution for mikrotik and you install it in a linux box with fedora core 5 or 6

just google for radius manager

would u provide me your config file of radius server? Here is my mail : sakimustafa@yahoo.com
