Hi,

I'm a newbe to RADIUS, with my goal to utilize it with a Watchguard firewall appliance. Spent much of the day trying to get that to work without any success so I simplified things, installing RadServ Client from tcpdata.com on another system and can't seem to get past the following:


3/16/2011 5:42:25 PM - TekRADIUS Service 4.1.0.0 is being started (Microsoft Windows NT 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3).
3/16/2011 5:42:27 PM - TekRADIUS Service is listening on : 10.0.7.99 (2 client(s))
3/16/2011 5:45:06 PM - Invalid Auth. packet received from : 10.0.7.100:58346

Although it's curious that the port I've set both ends to is 11812....

TekRADIUS is running on an XP-SP3 box...and the client is on a WIN-7 platform...

Hi,

"Invalid Auth. packet received" message states that shared secret in RADIUS client does not match the one configured in TekRADIUS at Clients tab.

Best regards,

Awesome! Turns-out that it appears that the client I was using may have been the problem. I downloaded another by IEA Software, and with it's debug info coupled with that from TekRADIUS, I was able to more clearly see what was going on and corrected some of the profile I had incorrectly setup and was off and running just grand!
Thank-you for you guidance and guick response!
Any experience/advice in setting-up a WatchGuard firebox to use TekRADIUS?

I do not have experience in WatchGuard but see following;

It seems I'm still having problems. When I attempt to validate from IEA Software's test client (Radlogin 4) not a problem. But when I attempt to do the same from the Watchguard box, it fails. THe following is the log showing both attempts...any suggestions?

The group 'Week 1' consists of a informational return value for 'filter-ID'...and the user attribute is simply the user-password check.

Well, when you make a test using Radlogin you use CHAP authentication method. Is it possible you send me a wireshark
trace from TekRADIUS server for both cases? Please also check if shared secret configured for Watchguard matches with one
configured in TekRADIUS Manager clients tab.

Yasin,
After the above log post, I changed the Radlogin to use PAP and it continued to work fine. Given your ideas, I went and re-typed the shared secret in the Watchguard and it started working... so it would appear that while tinkering with the Watchguard the password got messed-up... :-(

After some additional tinkering, the older 10.1 software release isn't happy to see anything back from the RADIUS server other than 'FilterID'. I attempted to send back authorization for VPN/PPTP and it the WG box no longer saw the 'FilterID' which it expected to contain text matching a configured user group.

Thanks again, for your most excellent comments and questions which led me to find the cause of my difficulities.

Jerry,

If you don't mind, could you tell me what protocols and information you needed to get the watchguard working ? I've got tekradius working just fine with the radlogin test client, but the watchguard is not allowing me to connect with vpn. Any clues ? thanks wink
