Freeradius authentication failed for unknown reason

Question

I followed this instruction to force freeradius to use mysql database.

and run freeradius in debug mod. but it rejects all authentication.

mysql database :

mysql> select * from radcheck;
+----+----------+-----------+----+---------+
| id | username | attribute | op | value   |
+----+----------+-----------+----+---------+
|  1 | test     | Password  | == | test123 | 
|  2 | test     | Auth-Type | == | Local   | 
+----+----------+-----------+----+---------+
2 rows in set (0.02 sec)

radtest command :

# radtest test test123 localhost 0 testing123

    NAS-Port = 0
    Message-Authenticator = 0x00000000000000000000000000000000
rad_recv: Access-Reject packet from host 127.0.0.1 port 1812, id=235, length=20

where is the problem and how should I solve it?

Answer 1

I've always seen the Cleartext-Password attribute set, not Password, and using the := operator, not ==. Also, I believe that setting Auth-Type is almost always wrong, so I suggest that you remove that. Try the following in the database table:

username="test", attribute="Cleartext-Password", op=":=", value="test123"

Answer 2

Might be a stupid question but have you uncommented the line

$INCLUDE  sql.conf

?
