RE: [Users] OpenSER with freeRadius

I configured OpenSER with Freeradius. It is somewhat messy to have it setup - of course depends on your background. In my case I missed deeper knowledge of Radius that had caused me quite some trouble. I haven't experienced your problem - no OpenSER processes. Sounds a bit strange. My advice is: have both SER and freeRadius running in _DEBUG_ mode and read outputs carefully. Radius: radiusd -X, and ser with entry in cfg file. Radius is powerful and extremely fragile: passwords and avps need to match between client and server; user/group blocks must be correctly defined/specified to your spec etc. But if you have debug info - you can easily see when something goes wrong. Good luck. /Vel _____ From: users-bounces(a)openser.org [mailto:users-bounces@openser.org] On Behalf Of C.

We are pleased to see someone has taken improving SER seriously and are trying to move to OpenSER but are having problems with the implementation we need: OpenSER with Radius Accounting and Radius Authentication (with freeradius and MySQL). I compiled the latest stable version of openser on an FC1 Linux PC with the needed modules added for Radius Authentication and Accounting. I am also using the latest version of freeradius. I have spent plenty of time in the email archives and documentation before asking you for help. I seemed to have everything installed correctly after adding the line 'modparam("auth_radius", "radius_config", "/usr/local/etc/radiusclient-ng/radiusclient.conf")' to the default openser config file. All the radius modules seem to load now and openser doesn't exit with any errors. But when I start openser and check "ps -eaf | grep openser" it isn't running so I assume. Here are the last few lines of /var/log/messages: I tried adding verbosity to the debug "-ddddd" but didn't get any more information than the logs above. I have also all ready included the needed dictionary file from openser for freeradius in the freeradius dictionary config. Here is my current config under modules loading for auth (only change to default config besides modparam above): # Uncomment this if you want digest authentication # mysql.so must be loaded ! loadmodule "/usr/local/lib/openser/modules/auth.so" #loadmodule "/usr/local/lib/openser/modules/auth_db.so" loadmodule "/usr/local/lib/openser/modules/auth_radius.so" #loadmodule "/usr/local/lib/openser/modules/group_radius.so" #loadmodule "/usr/local/lib/openser/modules/uri_radius.so" Please let me know what else I can try to get this working. Some kind of walk thru for the freeradius configuration would be helpful as well (freeradius with MySQL). -- Thanks, C.
