7.1 Installation and configuration of FREERADIUS Server

The following packages are required to install the freeradius server 3.09:

•

libtalloc-devel

•

openssl-devel

The steps for downloading as well as installing the freeradius tar ball are as follows:

$ tar zxvf freeradius

-server

-3.0.9.tar.gz

freeradius_3.09

$ ./configure

$ make

$ make install

Configure the freeradius server as per the given steps below:

Edit users file, which will contain the

“identity”

and

“password”

$ vim /usr/local/etc/raddb/users

•

Add the following line at the starting in the users file

test Cleartext-Password := "password"

2. As an example, “user1” is an identity and “test123” is the password that has to be entered at client side i.e. in the

sta_settings.conf file.

3. Now we need to edit “eap” file which contains the paths consisting of certificates and information about the EAP-

Methods supported

$ vim /usr/local/etc/raddb/mods

-enabled

/eap

In tls-config tls-common section, changes are made to point to our certificates which are placed in /etc/certs folder

If Free-radius version is below 3.x “eap”, it will be located in raddb folder and will be named as

“eap.conf”
