Hello,
I've got a problem with squid_radius_auth. Each time squid tries to authenticate, it sends incorrect password. Somebody already asked this here on LQ, he had incorrect shared secret set... but I'm quite sure the secret is correct, yet it cannot authenticate.

# Define RADIUS clients (usually a NAS, Access Point, etc.).
#
# Defines a RADIUS client.
#
# '127.0.0.1' is another name for 'localhost'. It is enabled by default,
# to allow testing of the server after an initial installation. If you
# are not going to be permitting RADIUS queries from localhost, we suggest
# that you delete, or comment out, this entry.
#
#
#
# Each client has a "short name" that is used to distinguish it from
# other clients.
#
# In version 1.x, the string after the word "client" was the IP
# address of the client. In 2.0, the IP address is configured via
# the "ipaddr" or "ipv6addr" fields. For compatibility, the 1.x
# format is still accepted.
#
client localhost {
# Allowed values are:
# dotted quad (1.2.3.4)
# hostname (radius.example.com)
ipaddr = 127.0.0.1
# OR, you can use an IPv6 address, but not both
# at the same time.
# ipv6addr = :: # any. ::1 == localhost
#
# A note on DNS: We STRONGLY recommend using IP addresses
# rather than host names. Using host names means that the
# server will do DNS lookups when it starts, making it
# dependent on DNS. i.e. If anything goes wrong with DNS,
# the server won't start!
#
# The server also looks up the IP address from DNS once, and
# only once, when it starts. If the DNS record is later
# updated, the server WILL NOT see that update.
#
# One client definition can be applied to an entire network.
# e.g. 127/8 should be defined with "ipaddr = 127.0.0.0" and
# "netmask = 8"
#
# If not specified, the default netmask is 32 (i.e. /32)
#
# We do NOT recommend using anything other than 32. There
# are usually other, better ways to acheive the same goal.
# Using netmasks of other than 32 can cause security issues.
#
# You can specify overlapping networks (127/8 and 127.0/16)
# In that case, the smallest possible network will be used
# as the "best match" for the client.
#
# Clients can also be defined dynamically at run time, based
# on any criteria. e.g. SQL lookups, keying off of NAS-Identifier,
# etc.
# See raddb/sites-available/dynamic-clients for details.
#
# netmask = 32
#
# The shared secret use to "encrypt" and "sign" packets between
# the NAS and FreeRADIUS. You MUST change this secret from the
# default, otherwise it's not a secret any more!
#
# The secret can be any string, up to 8k characters in length.
#
# Control codes can be entered vi octal encoding,
# e.g. "\101\102" == "AB"
# Quotation marks can be entered by escaping them,
# e.g. "foo\"bar"
#
# A note on security: The security of the RADIUS protocol
# depends COMPLETELY on this secret! We recommend using a
# shared secret that is composed of:
#
# upper case letters
# lower case letters
# numbers
#
# And is at LEAST 8 characters long, preferably 16 characters in
# length. The secret MUST be random, and should not be words,
# phrase, or anything else that is recognizable.
#
# The default secret below is only for testing, and should
# not be used in any real environment.
#
secret = testtest
#
# Old-style clients do not send a Message-Authenticator
# in an Access-Request. RFC 5080 suggests that all clients
# SHOULD include it in an Access-Request. The configuration
# item below allows the server to require it. If a client
# is required to include a Message-Authenticator and it does
# not, then the packet will be silently discarded.
#
# allowed values: yes, no
require_message_authenticator = no
#
# The short name is used as an alias for the fully qualified
# domain name, or the IP address.
#
# It is accepted for compatibility with 1.x, but it is no
# longer necessary in 2.0
#
# shortname = localhost
#
# the following three fields are optional, but may be used by
# checkrad.pl for simultaneous use checks
#
#
# The nastype tells 'checkrad.pl' which NAS-specific method to
# use to query the NAS for simultaneous use.
#
# Permitted NAS types are:
#
# cisco
# computone
# livingston
# max40xx
# multitech
# netserver
# pathras
# patton
# portslave
# tc
# usrhiper
# other # for all other types
#
nastype = other # localhost isn't usually a NAS...
#
# The following two configurations are for future use.
# The 'naspasswd' file is currently used to store the NAS
# login name and password, which is used by checkrad.pl
# when querying the NAS for simultaneous use.
#
# login = !root
# password = someadminpas
#
# As of 2.0, clients can also be tied to a virtual server.
# This is done by setting the "virtual_server" configuration
# item, as in the example below.
#
# virtual_server = home1
}
# IPv6 Client
#client ::1 {
# secret = testing123
# shortname = localhost
#}
#
# All IPv6 Site-local clients
#client fe80::/16 {
# secret = testing123
# shortname = localhost
#}
#client some.host.org {
# secret = testing123
# shortname = localhost
#}
#
# You can now specify one secret for a network of clients.
# When a client request comes in, the BEST match is chosen.
# i.e. The entry from the smallest possible network.
#
#client 192.168.0.0/24 {
# secret = testing123-1
# shortname = private-network-1
#}
#
#client 192.168.0.0/16 {

# # secret and password are mapped through the "secrets" file.

Hi,
Not sure if you resolved your problem with authentication, if you are using mysql,
i. Ensure that your attribute in radcheck reads Cleartext-password and not User-Password to get rid of this message.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!! Replacing User-Password in config items with Cleartext-Password. !!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!! Please update your configuration so that the "known good" !!!
!!! clear text password is in Cleartext-Password, and not in User-Password. !!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+----+----------+--------------------+----+----------+
| id | username | attribute | op | value |
+----+----------+--------------------+----+----------+
| 1 | whitewash| Cleartext-Password | := | test |
+----+----------+--------------------+----+----------+
ii. If you are using dialupadmin to manage users modify the entry
sql_password_attribute: Cleartext-Password
this will ensure that future user additions get the correct attribute posted to the database.
iii. I recently built a freeradius system and had lots of issues with authentication, I suggest that you disable modules that you really do not need.
Thanks, haven't resolved it yet, as it cannot be done remotely (I need to test the proxy authentication physically from the site), I just have to wait for the next opportunity to do it, when I will be at that place
Btw, i think, the problem is probably in the communication between squid and radius, because of lines like this in the log:
Code:
[pap] login attempt with password "▒?▒?▒?▒?▒U▒▒▒???"
which means the radius itself is already receiving garbage instead of password and if it gets garbage, it doesn't matter if it tries to compare it against User-Password or Cleartext-Password.
