FreeRadius with Microsoft IAS?

[Knarkargott]

Hi!

I am new to both Linux and RADIUS, but I really want to learn about this. I have been trying to get the FreeRadius client to work with IAS for a while now but without success, so I really need some help with this.

 

My test should be quite basic, but somehow I fail. My setup is as follows:

Computer A: Active Directory

Computer B: Windows IAS server (IP 192.168.0.155)

Computer C: FreeRadius Client (this is actually a virtual machine)

 

Computer A contains user DsH with pwd RADIUS.

I have configured the IAS (Win2k3) to allow everything on Computer B and secret = RADIUS.

I logged in as DSH with pwd RADIUS on Computer C, with secret = RADIUS for the FreeRadius client (v.1.1.6).

 

 

I have tried both radtest and radclient, with -x for debug;

------------

radtest DsH 123456 192.168.0.155 10 RADIUS -x

=> Radclient:: Invalid octet string "123456" for attribute name "User-Password"

------------

echo "User-Name = DsH" | .../radclient 192.168.0.155:1812 auth RADIUS

=> User-Name = "DsH" (several times until timeout: "No response from client ID...")

------------

 

Anybody have any idea? Did I miss something basic here, or does FreeRadius Client/IAS just doesn't work together? I have tried for a while reading the manuals and browsing the forum, but I just don't get it to work!

 

Any tips will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance
