Hi Jonny!
I was having the same problem as you were but i found that i could fix it by making this change to the /etc/radius.conf file.

(This is my /etc/radius.conf on my testVM)

Code:

acct 192.168.1.1:1892 *passhere*
auth 192.168.1.1:1892 *passhere*

You will see that i just changed the file to add the port for the radius server. I found that without this the openvpn server was never even talking to my radius server (found after a LOT of log hunting and debugging). Try making that change then rebooting your box.. It should hopfully work at that point. If not post back here or PM me and ill try and help you out with it =)

Here is my log:

I have a feeling that my radius server isn't running. I did telnet 10.87.0.1 1892 and it didn't connect (usually if something is listening it comes back with something at least...)

Hi All,
 Ive taken the information that j0emv posted and created a simple Howto with my troubleshooting tips and a fix or two. Ive sent it to the wiki-admin to post in the tutorials section but until then you can find it here:

Hope it help

I am running pfsense 1.2Release.
I followed the tutorial above but it looks like i do not have the openvpn-auth-pam.so plugin in /usr/local/lib and therefore i get the following error:
Mar 17 19:43:12    openvpn[29060]: Exiting
Mar 17 19:43:12    openvpn[29060]: PLUGIN_INIT: could not load plugin shared object /usr/local/lib/openvpn-auth-pam.so: Service unavailable: Too many links (errno=31)

the tutorial suggest running pkg_add -r openvpn to update to the latest openvpn version, i already have Openvpn 2.0.6, but ran the command anyway, and got an FTP failure error (apparently th file isn't there anymore?):

Error: FTP Unable to get http://ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.2-release/Latest/openvpn.tbz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)

Is there any way i can get openvpn-auth-pam.so copied over to my pfsense ?

thanks

Hi Alexb,
 It looks like you might be running an old version of the 1.2-release. Can you try updating to the 1.2.2x?
Make a backup of your system, then download the "latest.tgz" and start an update.

Updating to a the 1.2.2 version of pfsense is a little too radical of a solution to include the auth-pam plugin to my system. Updating pfsense would require a lot of testing which i am not willing to do just to add the PAM plugin. Anyone has an idea as to :

• Why i do not have the pam plugin on my system as oppose to everyone on this thread who was successful
• How could i get the plugin loaded on my system without upgrading my pfsense version?

Thanks for any help you can provide

Alex,
 I will put 1.2.1 into an VM this week and see if i can help you out with this. I suspect it might not be all that hard but we will see .

I've followed here and got everything installed, the RADIUS auth fails:

Does a port need to be opened for FreeRADIUS? What else can I do to debug this?

[gribbler]

OK, I noticed radiussd was core dumping, and that it was commenting on auth_log - so i commented these lines out:

#log_auth =
#log_auth_badpass =
#log_auth_goodpass =


Looks good now.

I've found a radiusplugin (http://www.nongnu.org/radiusplugin/) for OpenVPN, but it seems only to work in LINUX.

My problem is that I would like to limit users with radius (Simultanous Use, et cetera), but it doesn't works, due to the PAM plugin doesn't send any accounting packages to RADIUS (works only with AUTH).

Have anyone got it to work in FreeBSD or have any other clue how to work around this problem?

I'll be running about 3-4 OpenVPN instances and each OpenVPN server will use the same certs - one client can connect to any server.
The problem is that I don't want one client to connect to four different instances of OpenVPN with the same username/password at the same time. Therefore I must set up radius to work properly with OpenVPN so I can set up multi-connection limit (not only AUTH).

It would be great to continue using pfsense on these servers.

Best regards,

Henry Parkon

Just incase anyony else has the issue with the missing pam.d plugin, try this:

setenv PACKAGESITE http://ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7-stable/Latest/
pkg_add -r openvpn

The first step will change the URL for packages to be donloaded, the second reinstalls openvpn which includes the plugin.  I hope that's of use to someone, I spent ages tearing my hair out over it!  Works great now though, excellent guide.

Hi,
I've have problems getting the authenciation between the client and the Radius Server to work.  I do not get a login prompt on the client side.
I've followed the instructions as per http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,4105.0.html

I'm using pfsense 1.2.2.
OpenVPN GUI 1.0.3.
I've reinstalled openvpn using "pkg_add -r" and reinstalled FreeRadius.

My radius server looks like its running and shows:

# ps ax | grep radi
47602  ??  I      0:00.25 radiusd -s
39020  p0  R+     0:00.00 grep radi
My client can connect without the "plugin" option in the OpenVPN server config page.

my /etc/radius.conf file:

acct 192.168.100.1:1892 secret
auth 192.168.100.1:1892 secret

and my /etc/pam.d/openvpn

auth    required        pam_radius.so   debug=10
account suffient        pam_permit.so
session suffient        pam_permit.so



The errors in the openvpn.log are as follows:

Jul 29 14:25:54 gw openvpn[471]: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:64045 TLS Error: TLS handshake failed

Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

Hi uz, I'm having a problem exactly as yours:

Would you please let me know how you solve it. Thanks.

Also hope any one can give me some hint to solve it. Thanks.

Add this parameter in your client config file (client.ovpn): auth-user-pass
TIPS: The file /etc/radius.conf need to have an empty line after the 2 lines acct and auth

Hope it helps
