Topic: Open-Mesh & Freeradius

The open-mesh routers have Chilli built in to their firmware. It should be possible to get the routers to authenticate to a local radius server.

There is a how-to on the open-mesh.com but it does not seem to work.

It appears that I have freeradius working OK. radtest shows an Access-Accept packet. I have tried several different login .cgi files but none of them seem to work. I am running freeradius on Ubuntu Server 9.

When I attempt to login it fails and there is no entry into the radius.log file. It looks to me that Chilli is not talking to Freeradius.

Any ideas?

Re: Open-Mesh & Freeradius

Thanks. Here is the output from freeradius -X. Hoping someone will see something I am missing.

As Chilli is integrated into the router I would not think that chilli.conf is used. Can anyone confirm this?

I may have been a little quick on my last post. Now I see some debug information from freeradius -X:

The client IP is the open-mesh router. Looks like they are at least attempting to communicate. That is good news!

I am guessing that my configuration is wrong. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Re: Open-Mesh & Freeradius

You are right. Except I was using sql so I had to add it to the radius nis table. It all works now.

Thanks for your help. Using freeradius -X is what really helped to get the info to fix this.
