Installing and Configuring Freeradius + MySQL andDaloradius + MySQL on Ubuntu Server 12.04 for MikrotikHotspot/PPoE/PPTP (updated)Installing and Configuring Freeradius

The first step is to Install Freeradius (ensure you already update your apt with aptupdate)$sudo aptget install freeradius

* Starting FreeRADIUS daemon freeradius [ OK ]

Setting up freeradiusutils (2.1.10+dfsg3build2) ...

Then prepare the database for freeradius. Create database radius and assign username andpassword for accessing it.

# mysql u root p

Enter password:

Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.

Your MySQL connection id is 51

mysql> create database radius;

mysql> grant all on radius.* to radius@localhost identified by "thepassword";

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

The next step was to insert the database schema and I realized that I could not find the databasescheme in /etc/freeradius.

Obviously I should install freeradiusmysql package first.

#aptget install freeradiusmysql

Setting up freeradiusmysql (2.1.10+dfsg3build2) ...

* Reloading FreeRADIUS daemon freeradius [ OK ]

Then insert the database scheme

# mysql u root p radius < /etc/freeradius/sql/mysql/schema.sql

Enter password:

# mysql u root p radius < /etc/freeradius/sql/mysql/nas.sql

Enter password:

Now we try to insert new user for testing purpose in database.

# mysql u root p

Enter password:

Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.

Your MySQL connection id is 72

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement.

mysql> use radius;

Reading table information for completion of table and column names

You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with A

Database changed

mysql> INSERT INTO radcheck (UserName, Attribute, Value) VALUES ('sqltest', 'Password',

'testpwd');

Query OK, 1 row affected (0.04 sec)

mysql> exit

Bye

The next step is we need to configure the Freeradius files.

Edit /etc/freeradius/sql.conf file. Setting database type, login and password that we already setupbefore.

# vim /etc/freeradius/sql.conf

database = mysql

login = radius

password = thepassword

readclients = yes

Then edit the /etc/freeradius/sitesenabled/default file

# vim /etc/freeradius/sitesenabled/default

Uncomment sql on authorize # See “Authorization Queries” in sql.conf

sql

Uncomment sql on accounting

# See “Accounting queries” in sql.conf

sql

Uncomment sql on session

# See “Simultaneous Use Checking Queries” in sql.conf

sql

Uncomment sql on postauth

# See “Authentication Logging Queries” in sql.conf

sql

Then we edit /etc/freeradius/radiusd.conf file

# vim /etc/freeradius/radiusd.conf

#Uncomment #$INCLUDE sql.conf

$INCLUDE sql.conf

To test our configuration, first we must stop the freeradius service (if already running) # /etc/init.d/freeradius stop

* Stopping FreeRADIUS daemon freeradius [ OK ]

Then run this command to run freeradius in debugging mode. If there is no error, you are good to go.#freeradius X

On a new shell or window we tested the connection

$ radtest sqltest testpwd localhost 18128 testing123

Sending AccessRequest of id 65 to 127.0.0.1 port 1812

12/19/2015 Andrew Pakpahan: Installing and Configuring Freeradius + MySQL and Daloradius + MySQL on Ubuntu Server 12.04 for Mikrotik Hotspot/PPoE/PPTP …

http://andrewpakpahan.blogspot.co.id/2012/08/installingandconfiguringfreeradius.html 3/10

UserName = "sqltest"

UserPassword = "testpwd"

NASIPAddress = 127.0.1.1

NASPort = 18128

rad_recv: AccessAccept packet from host 127.0.0.1 port 1812, id=65, length=20

The test running well with Accept response from the server.

To enable Mikrotik device to access our server we need to add client in clients.conf file.

#vim /etc/freeradius/clients.conf

client 10.0.0.0/8

secret = testingpassword

shortname = testing

nastype= mikrotik

*note: we need to stop freeradius X and then running it again to test our configuration

Update (Jan 27, 2013): If we want to add specific value for Mikrotik, we need to add mikrotikdictionary

#vim /etc/freeradius/dictionary

Then add this line below

$INCLUDE /usr/share/freeradius/dictionary.mikrotik

Mikrotik Configuration

We need to configure our Mikrotik devices to use our new radius server. We need to login to Mikrotikdevice and configure the radius in Radius menu.

Below image is an example of our configuration.

*Note: we increase timeout settting to 3000ms to enable invalid login notifications. (not working withdefault 300ms)

Daloradius Installation

First, we need to download daloradius file

$wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/daloradius/daloradius/daloradius0.99/daloradius

0.99.tar.gz?

r=http%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fprojects%2Fdaloradius%2Ffiles%2F&ts=1345296201&use_mirror=nchc

12/19/2015 Andrew Pakpahan: Installing and Configuring Freeradius + MySQL and Daloradius + MySQL on Ubuntu Server 12.04 for Mikrotik Hotspot/PPoE/PPTP …

http://andrewpakpahan.blogspot.co.id/2012/08/installingandconfiguringfreeradius.html 4/10

Posted by Andrew Pakpahan at 3:23 PM

Rename and extract the file

# tar xvfz daloradius0.99.tar.gz

# mv daloradius0.99 daloradius

Move the file to the web server directory. In this case I use apache on Ubuntu so the location is at/var/www

# mv daloradius0.99 daloradius

# mv daloradius /var/www

Then we need to setup the database. Because already setup the freeradius using MySQL, so wedon't need new database. All we need to do is to import the daloradius scheme into our existingradius database.

# cd /var/www/daloradius/contrib/db

# mysql u root p radius < mysqldaloradius.sql

After database successfully altered, we need to configure the daloradius setting.

#vim /var/www/daloradius/library/daloradius.conf.php

Change the database password

$configValues['CONFIG_DB_PASS'] = 'thepassword';

Then we can try to access daloradius using http://ipaddressoftheserver/daloradius

*Note: In my installation, i had a problem because I didn't have php5gd phppear and phpdbpackages installed on my Ubuntu server.

To deal with this problem you can install the packages using

# aptget install php5gd phppear phpdb

I have been working my way through this config as new to Ubuntu

All seemed to be going well until i tested using radtest which returns the following error:Invalid octet string "sqltest" for attribute name "UserName"radclient: Nothing to send.

I have viewed the table contents and it all looks in order and double checked theconfig??

Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks

Hi,

I have followed this link for reference in running daloradius with freereadius.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CategoryNetworking/daloRADIUS

but I can't seem to get pass the login page.

http://192.168.2.133/daloradius/dologin.php

Database connection errorError Message: DB Error: connect failed

could you point out what I have missed?I have used both 12.04 and 14.04 LTS and both have same error message

what output do you need in order to further troubleshoot this?

many thanks,

I have Freeradius running on Ubuntu 12.04 server, to authenticate iBurst clients of myISP. It is working fine, the only issue is that I don't know how to manage these clients.

For example if a client has not payed to use Internet, I need to be able to disconnecthim/her and reconnect him/her once the payment has been done. The only way that Iknow is to edit the /etc/freeradius/users file and comment the FramedIPAddress linewhich is not easy to do every time. Also, I fear that I might accidentally damage the fileif I continue accessing it everyday and modifying it.

I would like to know if there is any other way to do this (preferably through a web client). Ifound one called Dialupadmin web interface, but I don't know if I have to installFreeradius from scratch to be able to use the web interface or if I can just install this anduse the existing Freeradius without reinstallation.

Andrew, I found your post interesting and very informative. Thanks for taking the time towrite the article. Just a small note, did you mean to move the daloradius to the root forwww? Is so then the next line is incorrect. It should be /var/www/contrib and not/var/www/daloradius/contrib.

Thanks again for your time!
