Expedition Radius Authentication

DavidNestler — Thu, 27 Sep 2018 22:54:21 GMT

I'm trying to get Expededition to authenticate my users via Radius but am receiving immediate invalid UN/PW. When I started digging through the apache error log file I noticed this line with every failed attempt. It looks like apache is logging at least part of the password field for authenticing users in the error log. I noticed a previous thread about changing the LDAP method to POST to fix it for that a week or so back, but I suspect this needs to be remediated as well.

Also Radius Auth isn't working.

Hello,

RADIUS is failing for me as well, you say reviewing, do you have a fix for this or a guidance document?

We may need more information regarding this error.

Could you check if you have additional information in the /var/log/apache/error.log file?

On my side, Radius appears to be working now. I hadn't attempted it in a while but it worked fine with the latest set of updates.

I would say that your session is expired.

Try to reload and refresh your Expedition session.

Hi,

This issue prevented me from upgrading our expedition beyond version 1.1.83 as it broke the RADIUS authentication.

I recently rebuilt my expedition server on ubuntu 20.04 and used the latest expedition (1.2.1) and RADIUS authentication still wasn't working.

I've been able to troubleshoot the issue and it comes down to tho the wrong php-radius version being installed.

The version that gets installed is php7.4-radius but expedition uses php7.0 so when it tries to use the php-radius module it can't find it.

To fix it you need to install the correct package version by:

1. login to expedition server CLI as expedition user.

2. Update package indexes with the command: sudo apt update

3. Install the correct php-radius version: sudo apt install php7.0-radius

4. Restart expedition web server: sudo apache2ctl restart

Palo need to fix the expedtion-beta package depends to specify the exact version of php-radius.

regards

Matthew
