4.10.1. RADIUS

This chapter describes RADIUS authentication backend. Mpd supports both user authentication and session accounting using RADIUS. RADIUS-Accounting and RADIUS-Authentication are independant so it is possible to use them in any combination.

All authentication methods are supported with RADIUS (PAP, CHAP, MS-CHAPv1, MS-CHAPv2, EAP). Password changing is currently not supported.

All of these commands apply to the currently active link.

set radius server name secret [ auth-port [ acct-port ]]

Configure RADIUS server parameters. Multiple RADIUS servers may be configured by repeating this command, and up to 10 servers may be specified. If one of auth/acct ports specified as 0, it will not be used for requests of that type.

unset radius server name [ auth-port [ acct-port ]]

Deletes cpecific RADIUS server from pool.

set radius src-addr ipaddr

Configure IP address on the multihomed host that is used as a source address for all requests.

set radius timeout seconds

Set the timeout for completion of RADIUS requests.

The default is 5 second.

set radius retries #retries

Set the number of retries for RADIUS requests.

The default is 3 retries.

set radius me IP|ifname|hostname

Send the given IP in the RAD_NAS_IP_ADDRESS attribute to the server.

set radius v6me IPv6

Send the given IP in the RAD_NAS_IPV6_ADDRESS attribute to the server.

set radius identifier name

Send the given name in the RAD_NAS_IDENTIFIER attribute to the server. If not set the local hostname is used.

set radius enable message-authentic

Adds the Message-Authenticator attribute to the RADIUS request. The Message-Authenticator is an HMAC-MD5 checksum of the entire Access-Request packet using the shared secret as the key. This should protect the RADIUS server against online dictionary attacks. This is mandatory when using the EAP-RADIUS-Proxy and it's implicitly added to the request by Mpd.

To use mpd VSA you should add such dictionary to your RADIUS server:

#----------------------------------------------------------

Mpd allows RADIUS server to terminate user session by setting vendor specific mpd-drop-user attribute to nonzero value in accounting start/update reply packet.

RADIUS ACL's

Mpd can use the Access Control Lists (ACLs) given by the RADIUS server. This ACLs may include ipfw rules, pipes, queues and tables and also mpd internal traffic filtering/shaping/limiting features. That two sets are redundant. ipfw proposed as standard and universal solution, while internal filter/shaper/limiter based on ng_bpf+ng_car expected to work faster with big number of active links.

ipfw

You can write in your RADIUS configuration something like:

mpd-table += "1=10.0.0.1",
mpd-table += "1=10.0.0.15",
mpd-pipe += "1=bw 10Kbyte/s",
mpd-pipe += "5=bw 20Kbyte/s",
mpd-rule += "1=pipe %p1 all from any to table\\(%t1\\) in",
mpd-rule += "2=pipe %p5 all from table\\(%t1\\) to any out",
mpd-rule += "100=allow all from any to any",

When mpd receives these parameters it will call ipfw(8) to create firewall rules, pipes and queues with unique numbers starting from 10000 (configurable via 'set global start...'). %rX, %pX, %qX, %tX and %aX macroses will be expanded within mpd-rule and mpd-queue. To the end of each rule will be added "via ngX" to make the rule apply only to that client's networking interface.

Allowed macroses:

%rX IPFW rule pool
%pX IPFW pipe pool
%qX IPFW queue pool
%tX IPFW table pool
%a1 peer negotiated IP address
%a2 self negotiated IP address

As a result of this example we would get these commands executed:

ipfw table 32 add 10.0.0.1
ipfw table 32 add 10.0.0.15
ipfw pipe 10000 config bw 10Kbyte/s
ipfw pipe 10001 config bw 20Kbyte/s
ipfw add 10000 pipe 10000 all from any to table\(32\) in via ng0
ipfw add 10001 pipe 10001 all from table\(32\) to any out via ng0
ipfw add 10002 allow all from any to any via ng0
When the link goes down, all created rules will be removed.

Note: As soon as mpd executes ipfw commands using shell, shell's special characters like "(" and ")" must be slashed.

You can specify mpd-table += "1=peer_addr" to use mpd-table with the peer negotiated IP address.

internal (ng_bpf/ng_car)

Mpd can create complex per-interface traffic filtering/limiting engines inside netgraph when it is requested by mpd-filter and mpd-limit RADIUS attributes.

mpd-filter attribute is a packet filter declaration for using in mpd-limit. mpd-filter consists of two main parts: match/nomatch verdict and the condition. tcpdump (libpcap) expression syntax used for conditions.

mpd-filter: match|nomatch {condition}

mpd-limit attribute is an action which should be done for packet. It consists of two main parts: filter and action.

mpd-limit: {filter} {action}

Filter can be or "all" (any packet) or "fltX" (packets matching to specified mpd-filter).

filter: any|fltX

Action can be: "" (do nothing, just account), "pass" (stop processing and pass packet), "deny" (stop processing and drop packet), "rate-limit" (do Cisco-like rate-limit), "shape" (do simple RED aware traffic shaping).

Actions "rate-limit" and "shape" can have optional "pass" suffix to stop processing after doing this action.

action: | pass | deny | rate-limit {rate(bits/s)} [{normal burst(bytes)} [{extended burst(bytes)}]] [pass] | shape {rate(bits/s)} [{burst(bytes)}] [pass]

As example you can write in your RADIUS configuration something like:

mpd-filter += "1#1=nomatch dst net 10.0.0.0/24",
mpd-filter += "1#2=match dst net 10.0.0.0/8",
mpd-filter += "2#1=nomatch src net 10.0.0.0/24",
mpd-filter += "2#2=match src net 11.0.0.0/8",
mpd-limit += "in#1=flt1 pass",
mpd-limit += "in#2#Biz=all shape 64000 4000",
mpd-limit += "out#1=flt2 pass",
mpd-limit += "out#2#Biz=all rate-limit 1024000 150000 300000",

As result, one ng_bpf node will be created to implement traffic filters and several (two for this example) ng_car nodes for traffic shaping and rate-limiting. Incoming traffic to 10.0.0.0/8 except 10.0.0.0/24 will be passed, other traffic will be shaped to 64Kbits/s. Outgoing traffic from 10.0.0.0/8 except 10.0.0.0/24 will be passed, all other will be limited to 1024Kbit/s. Also traffic that passed mpd-limit rules marked "Biz" will be accordingly accounted and present with that name in AAA accounting requests.
