Free Radius Eap Tls

Linux based RADIUS Setup
Introduction
The Linux distribution chosen to setup the FreeRADIUS server was SuSE 9.3 Professional.
Several distributions were tried; the location of the files varies a bit from the distribution. You
can download the ISO for CD 1, and if you have a fast network connection, you can point the
installation to be performed from SuSE's FTP server. In our case we downloaded all the ISO
images and performed a "regular" OS installation in a PII machine with 512MB RAM.
How can this be used?

Giving a username/password can be a problem because it can be shared. Installing a certificate
on a machine will prevent this; the user can not use the certificate anywhere else because the
password is not available. An additional control is the certificate revocation date. In this kind of
scenario the time consuming part is the process of managing the certificates.
Hardware needed:
• 1 PC with at least 256MB RAM; for the NIC use 3COM or Intel (suggested)
This PC will be used to install SuSE 9.3
• 1 AP/Router configured to have access to the Internet on the WAN port.
A Linksys WRT54GL was used
• 1 Windows NT Client + (1) Ethernet port + (1) wireless port with WPA support.
The AP will have the following settings:

• LAN address: 172.16.1.1/24, DNS values are left blank (on auto)
• WAN address: set by DHCP
• Wireless: The same settings as the setup used for the Windows based RADIUS
configuration (Server IP 172.16.1.10, etc.)
• The rest of the values are to be left at the default factory settings
The Windows NT Client will have the following settings:

• Ethernet IP: Set by DHCP
• Wireless IP: Set by DHCP
The topology is as follows:

The Ethernet ports of the Windows NT client and the Linux box will be connected to the LAN
side of the router, the WAN port will be provided access to the Internet.

The root user’s Desktop displays
Screenshot 11
Notes:
• We are now ready to start. The overall recommendation is to be working as the
regular user “user”, but for developmental purposes, we will work as super-user
“root”.
• From here on, every step more or less constitutes a test; each item has been made as
granular as possible to allow for easy troubleshooting.
• In Linux, commands are case-sensitive.

Starting and stopping the RADIUS server

Starting the server
1. In the taskbar shown in Screenshot 11, click the

2. This opens a shell window, the Linux command line interface.
3. Enter radiusd -X
4. If all is OK from the perspective of the server, the last line will display
"Ready to process requests".
5. Scroll through the window and look for entries that begin with rlm_eap.
• All of them must be followed by a “success” comment. If not, this indicates that
OpenSSL is not working or configured properly. Fix this item before proceeding.
Stopping the server
6. Click the on the taskbar to start a second shell.

7. Enter netstat -ap –udp
• We are interested in an entry that will be in the format or mask of
nnnnn/radiusd.
• nnnnn is the process number or identifier (PID) for that process.
8. To stop the RADIUS server, enter the command kill nnnnn
• Look at the first shell window were radiusd was started. It should display a
message that the process was “killed”.
There are other ways and options to stop and start the server. Up to this point, we have tested
one item: The basic server setup is running.
Connectivity Testing
Before we start to configure anything, we must test for connectivity, internal and external.
The server will report all that it sees, at this point we want to see activity, it does not matter if
it denies or accepts requests for any of these tests.
Internal connectivity quick test (localhost):
9. Start the server in one shell window as shown in step 3 above.
10. In the second shell window, enter the command:
radtest test test localhost 0 testing123
• What matters is the last line that displays rad_recv: Rejected
- This indicates the server is sending/receiving info. So far, so good.
11. Stop the server as shown in steps 7 and 9 above.
• Now try the same command and see the difference (The PID will be different, find

out the new one, running the kill command blindly can cause problems).
External connectivity quick test:
12. Start the FreeRADIUS server.
13. Download the NTRadPing utility.
• Simply open Google, search for NTRadPing. The Novell site should be at the top.
14. Install it on the PC with the Ethernet and Wireless cards.
Screenshot 12
15. Once you have it running, enter 172.16.1.10:1812 in the RADIUS Server/port box.
16. For the request type, choose Authentication Request.
17. Click the Send button.
18. On the server shell, you will see activity. The IP of the computer running the ping must
show up somewhere in the debug info from the server. If so, move on to the next step.
19. At this point, we have now tested the connectivity of the server.
20. Shutdown FreeRADIUS
Testing the OpenSSL compilation and configurations.
Notes:
• One time consuming part in any Linux distro is finding where all files are. The Linux file
system is a huge tree, and all starts at the root, or / .
• On Wintel platforms, the root for a particular storage unit is located at \ plus the letter of
the unit as a prefix (a colon in the middle of course). In Linux, / serves the same purpose
as \ in Wintel systems.
• In Linux, hardware devices are treated as folders located or mounted in the file system

21. Click on K Menu

• Right above there you will see Find Files/Folders, click on it.
The Find Files/Folders window displays.
Screenshot 13
22. Search for a file named eap.conf, and look in / as shown.
23. After a while, only one entry will show up.
24. Click on the name itself, and a text file editor will automatically open the file.

Screenshot 14
25. Look for the entry that begins with #tls {.
26. Remove the # before it, and carefully find the closing } below it. It should be located
below the line #check_cert_cn. Also remove the preceding # from here.
• We now have enabled the EAP-TLS module. We will temporarily be using the demo
certs to test it.
27. Below the line tls{ you will see 6 # (pound symbols), up to the line #random_file.
• Remove them.
• Close the editor, click Yes to save.
• The above Screenshot 14 shows the detail. Keep this in mind, we will be changing
those lines again later on.
28. Start the server. For SuSE 9.3, an error message will be displayed, that is no problem.
• The error relates to being unable to open the root CA. What matters is that somewhere in
the displayed lines it says that the module rml_eap did initialize.
• Notice how the password <whatever> is shown in the listing. The error will be related to
not having the correct permissions to open a file.

We are done with the setup testing; now we move on to setting up RADIUS to work with our
system.

We will group this in 3 major sections:

A. Setting up the CA authority, Server CA, Client CA
B. Setting up radius config files
C. Setting up the Windows NT Client configuration files.
Tips and Hints
• You can copy this file into the Linux box, and simply cut and paste all the commands.
- The short cut keys for the shell to paste is [SHIFT]+[INS] or simply right click in it and
choose paste.
• vi tips
• vi is a command line editor
- To start inserting text press the i key,
- To finish inserting text, press the ESC key
- To exit vi exit press capital Z two times, i.e. ZZ
Setting up the CA authority, Server CA, Client CA

1. To set the CA system, we must modify the openssl.cnf file. You can search for it, and
open it, modify the blue text to suit your needs.
cd /etc/ssl
vi openssl.cnf
[i]
2. Change the CA root path in the CA_default section to reflect the CA we're about to create.
[ CA_default ]
dir = ./luisCA # Where everything is kept
# The following lines are further down in openssl.cnf:
countryName_default = US
stateOrProvinceName_default = Texas
0.organizationName_default = Industrial Wiremonkeys of the World
commonName = linux.site.com
[ESC]
[Z][Z]
3. Keep this in mind: As we go through this process, the common name linux.site.com will be
changed twice from the default setting. If this is not done, the setup will fail.
4. The file xpextensions must be created in the same folder (/etc/ssl), so you can either use vi
or find the application KWRITE.
vi xpextensions
i
[ xpclient_ext ]
extendedKeyUsage = 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.2
[ xpserver_ext ]
extendedKeyUsage = 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1
[ESC]
[Z][Z]

5. We now create the CA authority, SuSE93CA, by modifying the script that is responsible for
creating one. It will also create the luisCA folder for us.
6. Find the CA.sh file. It should be located in the /usr/share/ssl/misc folder, and
make the changes marked in blue.
cd /usr/share/ssl/misc
vi CA.sh
i
CATOP=./luisCA
[esc]
[Z][Z]
7. Jump back to the ssl folder: cd /etc/ssl

8. Type in a pass phrase (use “passphrase” {suggestion}),
9. For common name use SuSE93CA (suggestion, otherwise substitute accordingly)
10. /usr/share/ssl/misc/CA.sh -newca
CA certificate filename (or enter to create)

11. We are now creating a server certificate, the Common Name is linux.site.com.
• The -nodes option is not recommended, in a production environment, but for now we
will use it. The server is running in our Linux box, the Common Name will be
linux.site.com

12. Enter the following command:

openssl req -new -nodes -keyout server_key.pem –out server_req.pem
-days 730 -config ./openssl.cnf
• Note: The above command must be typed on one line, even though it may wrap on your
screen.

14. It is time to clean out the certificate, and combine the key and certificate in a single file.
The file to be modified is server_cert.pem. We edit the file as shown below.
• vi server_cert.pem
• delete by pressing the d key as needed until the line
--Begin CERTIFICATE---
is left at the top
• [Z][Z]
15. We now concatenate these two files files:
cat server_key.pem server_cert.pem > \server_keycert.pem
16. We now start the same process for the clients.
17. First we request a certificate for the client.
• In our case, the NetBIOS name of the client is LIFEBOOK.
• In the shell, you can press the up arrow key to go back to the previous command and
only make the needed changes. The -nodes option is left out.

20. Concatenating the files :
cat client_key.pem client_cert.pem > \client_keycert.pem
21. Here we begin to setup the information needed to run the EAP-TLS authentication for XP,
first we export to a certificate file to be sent to XP later on.
openssl pkcs12 -export -in client_cert.pem -inkey client_key.pem -out
client_cert.p12 –clcerts
Enter pass phrase for client_key.pem:

22. Setting up the certificates in RADIUS

23. The files we have created must now be copied to the right places, and then we set the
ownerships and permissions. Enter the following commands:

• cp /etc/ssl/luisCA/cacert.pem /etc/raddb/certs
• chmod 0444 /etc/raddb/certs/cacert.pem
• cp /etc/ssl/server_keycert.pem /etc/raddb/certs
• chmod 0400 /etc/raddb/certs/server_keycert.pem
24. In SuSE 9.3 the user user was created during the setup process. Enter:
chown radiusd:users /raddb/certs/server_keycert.pem
25. If all is fine, no error messages will show for any of the commands above
26. We need random numbers, always use the internal random number generator. Enter
• cd /etc/raddb/certs
• openssl dhparam -check -text -5 512 -out dh
Generating DH parameters, 512 bit long safe prime, generator 5

This is going to take a long time

chown user:users dh
chown user:users random
27. At this point we are done with setting up the CA, we have partially configured RADIUS by
setting up the CA files and setting ownerships.
28. We now modify the eap.conf file again, change to the values shown below,
vi eap.conf [i]
default_eap_type = tls
private_key_password = qwerty
private_key_file = ${raddbdir}/certs/server_keycert.pem
certificate_file = ${raddbdir}/certs/server_keycert.pem
CA_file = ${raddbdir}/certs/cacert.pem
dh_file = ${raddbdir}/certs/dh
random_file = ${raddbdir}/certs/random
[ESC][Z][Z]

29. At the end of the clients.conf file add
vi client.conf [i]
client 172.16.1.0/24{
secret = qaz123
shortname = linksys
nastype = other
}
[ESC][Z][Z]
30. Another file to be modified would be radiusd.conf. Since SuSE does not create a user
for FreeRadius, for now it is best not to make any changes.
31. Later on, the files must be secured, for example:
chown root:root eap.conf
chmod 0600 eap.conf
32. We are done with the Linux system, start the RADIUS server. Watch carefully all the
messages.

2. The listing below shows a problem. Do not be misguided; this has nothing to do with the
MTU size. The Linux virtual NIC adapter had to be manually assigned to the physical
Ethernet port to correct it.

Problems with installing OpenSSL and FreeRADIUS latest versions.

1. In some cases, building the newest version can cause problems, bugs within the compilation
scripts can be very difficult to resolve. As you compile, messages as “silently not
building rlm_eap” means a particular module was not included.
2. Using the versions included within your Linux distribution adds a level of assurance, since
these have been tested to work properly.
3. First get to work the basic settings, then start to build additional items into it; otherwise it
will be almost impossible to debug.
4. There are other configuration files for RADIUS, as they are, for example, the
users,conf file allows for almost anything to log in. This is needed for initial debug,
later on you can come back and start developing more security.
5. FreeRADIUS supports MySQL and other systems. It is really flexible, but it takes time to
setup.

Patches & Updates

• If you will recall from our initial configuration, DNS was never configured. It is left to the
student to manually set up DNS on the Linux box.
• Once this works, the first update that must be applied is the kernel. One of the options
available to you is to delete the source files, uncheck it, if later on you need to recompile
something e.g. VMWare drivers, the kernel header files are needed.
• Keep updating the kernel as needed until it no longer shows up on the list.
• FreeRadius and OpenSSL are next in priority. For these you do no need to keep the
installation files.
• To update, run YAST, it is the fifth icon going from left to right, and on the left pane you
will see Online Update, click on it. After a few screens related to connectivity, click on the
option of Manually Select patches, then click Next. The rest is very intuitive. After any
changes, test the RadiusSERVER
Student Activities
• The setup shows how to use TLS, the student should now configure MS-CHAPv2.
Questions:
1. Is it advisable to store passwords in a certificate?
2. What are the options that control this in openssl?
