See the section # titled DEBUGGING. It outlines a method where you can quickly # obtain the configuration you want, without running into # trouble. # # Run the server in debugging mode, and READ the output. # # $ radiusd -X # # We cannot emphasize this point strongly enough. The vast # majority of problems can be solved by carefully reading the # debugging output, which includes warnings about common issues, # and suggestions for how they may be fixed. # # There may be a lot of output, but look carefully for words like: # "warning", "error", "reject", or "failure". The messages there # will usually be enough to guide you to a solution. # # If you are going to ask a question on the mailing list, then # explain what you are trying to do, and include the output from # debugging mode (radiusd -X). Failure to do so means that all # of the responses to your question will be people telling you # to "post the output of radiusd -X". ###################################################################### # # The location of other config files and logfiles are declared # in this file. # # Also general configuration for modules can be done in this # file, it is exported through the API to modules that ask for # it. # # See "man radiusd.conf" for documentation on the format of this # file. Note that the individual configuration items are NOT # documented in that "man" page. They are only documented here, # in the comments. # # As of 2.0.0, FreeRADIUS supports a simple processing language # in the "authorize", "authenticate", "accounting", etc. sections. # See "man unlang" for details. # prefix = /usr exec_prefix = /usr sysconfdir = /etc localstatedir = /var sbindir = ${exec_prefix}/sbin logdir = /var/log/freeradius raddbdir = /etc/freeradius radacctdir = ${logdir}/radacct # # name of the running server. See also the "-n" command-line option. name = freeradius # Location of config and logfiles. confdir = ${raddbdir} run_dir = ${localstatedir}/run/${name} # Should likely be ${localstatedir}/lib/radiusd db_dir = ${raddbdir} # # libdir: Where to find the rlm_* modules. # # This should be automatically set at configuration time. # # If the server builds and installs, but fails at execution time # with an 'undefined symbol' error, then you can use the libdir # directive to work around the problem. # # The cause is usually that a library has been installed on your # system in a place where the dynamic linker CANNOT find it. When # executing as root (or another user), your personal environment MAY # be set up to allow the dynamic linker to find the library. When # executing as a daemon, FreeRADIUS MAY NOT have the same # personalized configuration. # # To work around the problem, find out which library contains that symbol, # and add the directory containing that library to the end of 'libdir', # with a colon separating the directory names. NO spaces are allowed. # # e.g. libdir = /usr/local/lib:/opt/package/lib # # You can also try setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable # in a script which starts the server. # # If that does not work, then you can re-configure and re-build the # server to NOT use shared libraries, via: # # ./configure --disable-shared # make # make install # libdir = /usr/lib/freeradius # pidfile: Where to place the PID of the RADIUS server. # # The server may be signalled while it's running by using this # file. # # This file is written when ONLY running in daemon mode. # # e.g.: kill -HUP `cat /var/run/radiusd/radiusd.pid` # pidfile = ${run_dir}/${name}.pid # chroot: directory where the server does "chroot". # # The chroot is done very early in the process of starting the server. # After the chroot has been performed it switches to the "user" listed # below (which MUST be specified). If "group" is specified, it switchs # to that group, too. Any other groups listed for the specified "user" # in "/etc/group" are also added as part of this process. # # The current working directory (chdir / cd) is left *outside* of the # chroot until all of the modules have been initialized. This allows # the "raddb" directory to be left outside of the chroot. Once the # modules have been initialized, it does a "chdir" to ${logdir}. This # means that it should be impossible to break out of the chroot. # # If you are worried about security issues related to this use of chdir, # then simply ensure that the "raddb" directory is inside of the chroot, # end be sure to do "cd raddb" BEFORE starting the server. # # If the server is statically linked, then the only files that have # to exist in the chroot are ${run_dir} and ${logdir}. If you do the # "cd raddb" as discussed above, then the "raddb" directory has to be # inside of the chroot directory, too. # #chroot = /path/to/chroot/directory # user/group: The name (or #number) of the user/group to run radiusd as. # # If these are commented out, the server will run as the user/group # that started it. In order to change to a different user/group, you # MUST be root ( or have root privleges ) to start the server. # # We STRONGLY recommend that you run the server with as few permissions # as possible. That is, if you're not using shadow passwords, the # user and group items below should be set to radius'. # # NOTE that some kernels refuse to setgid(group) when the value of # (unsigned)group is above 60000; don't use group nobody on these systems! # # On systems with shadow passwords, you might have to set 'group = shadow' # for the server to be able to read the shadow password file. If you can # authenticate users while in debug mode, but not in daemon mode, it may be # that the debugging mode server is running as a user that can read the # shadow info, and the user listed below can not. # # The server will also try to use "initgroups" to read /etc/groups. # It will join all groups where "user" is a member. This can allow # for some finer-grained access controls. # user = radiusd group = radiusd # panic_action: Command to execute if the server dies unexpectedly. # # FOR PRODUCTION SYSTEMS, ACTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS EXIT. # AN INTERACTIVE ACTION MEANS THE SERVER IS NOT RESPONDING TO REQUESTS. # AN INTERACTICE ACTION MEANS THE SERVER WILL NOT RESTART. # # The panic action is a command which will be executed if the server # receives a fatal, non user generated signal, i.e. SIGSEGV, SIGBUS, # SIGABRT or SIGFPE. # # This can be used to start an interactive debugging session so # that information regarding the current state of the server can # be acquired. # # The following string substitutions are available: # - %e The currently executing program e.g. /sbin/radiusd # - %p The PID of the currently executing program e.g. 12345 # # Standard ${} substitutions are also allowed. # # An example panic action for opening an interactive session in GDB would be: # #panic_action = "gdb %e %p" # # Again, don't use that on a production system. # # An example panic action for opening an automated session in GDB would be: # #panic_action = "gdb -silent -x ${raddbdir}/panic.gdb %e %p > ${logdir}/gdb-%e-%p.log 2>&1" # # That command can be used on a production system. # # max_request_time: The maximum time (in seconds) to handle a request. # # Requests which take more time than this to process may be killed, and # a REJECT message is returned. # # WARNING: If you notice that requests take a long time to be handled, # then this MAY INDICATE a bug in the server, in one of the modules # used to handle a request, OR in your local configuration. # # This problem is most often seen when using an SQL database. If it takes # more than a second or two to receive an answer from the SQL database, # then it probably means that you haven't indexed the database. See your # SQL server documentation for more information. # # Useful range of values: 5 to 120 # max_request_time = 30 # cleanup_delay: The time to wait (in seconds) before cleaning up # a reply which was sent to the NAS. # # The RADIUS request is normally cached internally for a short period # of time, after the reply is sent to the NAS. The reply packet may be # lost in the network, and the NAS will not see it. The NAS will then # re-send the request, and the server will respond quickly with the # cached reply. # # If this value is set too low, then duplicate requests from the NAS # MAY NOT be detected, and will instead be handled as seperate requests. # # If this value is set too high, then the server will cache too many # requests, and some new requests may get blocked. (See 'max_requests'.) # # Useful range of values: 2 to 10 # cleanup_delay = 5 # max_requests: The maximum number of requests which the server keeps # track of. This should be 256 multiplied by the number of clients. # e.g. With 4 clients, this number should be 1024. # # If this number is too low, then when the server becomes busy, # it will not respond to any new requests, until the 'cleanup_delay' # time has passed, and it has removed the old requests. # # If this number is set too high, then the server will use a bit more # memory for no real benefit. # # If you aren't sure what it should be set to, it's better to set it # too high than too low. Setting it to 1000 per client is probably # the highest it should be. # # Useful range of values: 256 to infinity # max_requests = 1024 # listen: Make the server listen on a particular IP address, and send # replies out from that address. This directive is most useful for # hosts with multiple IP addresses on one interface. # # If you want the server to listen on additional addresses, or on # additionnal ports, you can use multiple "listen" sections. # # Each section make the server listen for only one type of packet, # therefore authentication and accounting have to be configured in # different sections. # # The server ignore all "listen" section if you are using '-i' and '-p' # on the command line. # listen { # Type of packets to listen for. # Allowed values are: # auth listen for authentication packets # acct listen for accounting packets # proxy IP to use for sending proxied packets # detail Read from the detail file.

This is a very useful feature. # # The name here is a reference to a section elsewhere in # radiusd.conf, or clients.conf. Having the name as # a reference allows multiple sockets to use the same # set of clients. # # If this configuration is used, then the global list of clients # is IGNORED for this "listen" section.

Enabling hostname_lookups will also # mean that your server may stop randomly for 30 seconds from time # to time, if the DNS requests take too long. # # Turning hostname lookups off also means that the server won't block # for 30 seconds, if it sees an IP address which has no name associated # with it. # # allowed values: {no, yes} # hostname_lookups = no # Core dumps are a bad thing.

As a result, some messages will still # go to radius.log. Please submit patches to fix this behavior. # # The file name is expanded dynamically.

This may help slow down a DoS # attack. It also helps to slow down people trying to brute-force # crack a users password. # # Setting this number to 0 means "send rejects immediately" # # If this number is set higher than 'cleanup_delay', then the # rejects will be sent at 'cleanup_delay' time, when the request # is deleted from the internal cache of requests. # # Useful ranges: 1 to 5 reject_delay = 1 # # status_server: Whether or not the server will respond # to Status-Server requests. # # When sent a Status-Server message, the server responds with # an Access-Accept or Accounting-Response packet. # # This is mainly useful for administrators who want to "ping" # the server, without adding test users, or creating fake # accounting packets. # # It's also useful when a NAS marks a RADIUS server "dead". # The NAS can periodically "ping" the server with a Status-Server # packet. If the server responds, it must be alive, and the # NAS can start using it for real requests. # # See also raddb/sites-available/status # status_server = yes # # allow_vulnerable_openssl: Allow the server to start with # versions of OpenSSL known to have critical vulnerabilities. # # This check is based on the version number reported by libssl # and may not reflect patches applied to libssl by # distribution maintainers. # allow_vulnerable_openssl = yes } # PROXY CONFIGURATION # # proxy_requests: Turns proxying of RADIUS requests on or off. # # The server has proxying turned on by default.

If you # don't have any spare threads, then the request handling will # be delayed while a new thread is created, and added to the pool. # # You probably don't want too many spare threads around, # otherwise they'll be sitting there taking up resources, and # not doing anything productive. # # The numbers given below should be adequate for most situations. # thread pool { # Number of servers to start initially --- should be a reasonable # ballpark figure. start_servers = 5 # Limit on the total number of servers running. # # If this limit is ever reached, clients will be LOCKED OUT, so it # should NOT BE SET TOO LOW.

Rather than making you guess # how many servers you need, FreeRADIUS dynamically adapts to # the load it sees, that is, it tries to maintain enough # servers to handle the current load, plus a few spare # servers to handle transient load spikes. # # It does this by periodically checking how many servers are # waiting for a request. If there are fewer than # min_spare_servers, it creates a new spare. If there are # more than max_spare_servers, some of the spares die off. # The default values are probably OK for most sites. # min_spare_servers = 3 max_spare_servers = 10 # When the server receives a packet, it places it onto an # internal queue, where the worker threads (configured above) # pick it up for processing.

To have two different instances # of a module, it first must be referred to by 'name'. # The different copies of the module are then created by # inventing two 'instance' names, e.g. 'instance1' and 'instance2' # # The instance names can then be used in later configuration # INSTEAD of the original 'name'. See the 'radutmp' configuration # for an example. # # # As of 2.0.5, most of the module configurations are in a # sub-directory. Files matching the regex /[a-zA-Z0-9_.]+/ # are loaded.

Modules # listed here will get loaded BEFORE the later sections like # authorize, authenticate, etc. get examined. # # This section is not strictly needed. When a section like # authorize refers to a module, it's automatically loaded and # initialized. However, some modules may not be listed in any # of the following sections, so they can be listed here. # # Also, listing modules here ensures that you have control over # the order in which they are initalized. If one module needs # something defined by another module, you can list them in order # here, and ensure that the configuration will be OK. # instantiate { # # Allows the execution of external scripts. # The entire command line (and output) must fit into 253 bytes. # # e.g. Framed-Pool = `%{exec:/bin/echo foo}` exec # # The expression module doesn't do authorization, # authentication, or accounting. It only does dynamic # translation, of the form: # # Session-Timeout = `%{expr:2 + 3}` # # This module needs to be instantiated, but CANNOT be # listed in any other section.
