Introduction
More devices = more problems Inconsistent login configuration Authorization and queueing for customers on the nearest router very problematic and hard to manage

RADIUS make life easier
RADIUS the protocol
Remote Authentication Dial In User Service RFC 2865 uses UDP ports 1812 and 1813 AAA concept
Authentication Authorization Accounting

RADIUS
One server can centralize all user accounts

RADIUS server, client, user
User (a computer) tries to connect to the gateway (ppp, hotspot, etc.) using username and password Client (MikroTik) looks for the user in local database and if it fails asks RADIUS server Server tell the client whether it should accept or reject the user

RADIUS request and response
username/password Access-Request (1) Access-Accept (2) or Access-Reject (3)
Request and response single UDP packets

Radius the packet

FreeRADIUS quick install
Installation of FreeRADIUS is really easy! Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install freeradius /etc/freeradius directory with the settings clients.conf the only file we need to edit: client 192.168.255.1/32 { secret shortname = $3CR3T$TR1NG = MikroTik } 13
User username with password password will be accepted by the router, with default group username Cleartext-Password := password Mikrotik-Group := write, Another-Attr := a_value
We can specify, what attributes the RADIUS server will give in the response RADIUS make life easier 17
StarTik Daniel Starnowski 2012
Example: login management
Access-Request:
Service-Type = Login-User User-Name = (name entered by user) User-Password = (encrypted password) Calling-Station-Id = (IP address of the user) NAS-Identifier = (system identity of client) NAS-IP-Address = (IP address of the client)
StarTik Daniel Starnowski 2012

18
Example: login management
Access-Accept If there was no configured parameters, the accept packet has no attribute-value fields example: Mikrotik-Group = write
/etc/freeradius/sql/mysql/ - here are configuration files for Radius to work with SQL mysql> CREATE DATABASE radius;
We import schema.sql (or just simply paste the commands from the file) to MySQL database
StarTik Daniel Starnowski 2012

20
Connecting to SQL database
Back to radiusd.conf in the modules section we enable (uncomment) the SQL module: # $INCLUDE sql.conf In the sql.conf file: database = "mysql" server = "localhost" login = "db_user" password = "his_password" radius_db = "radius"

Creating SQL entries
Instead of the users file - two tables:
radcheck radreply
They look exactly the same! In radcheck the conditions to be checked In radreply the attributes sent with the reply packet
StarTik Daniel Starnowski 2012

22
Creating SQL entries
mysql> show fields from radcheck; +-----------+------------------+ | Field | Type | +-----------+------------------+ | id | int(11) unsigned | | username | varchar(64) | | attribute | varchar(64) | | op | char(2) | | value | varchar(253) | +-----------+------------------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec) StarTik Daniel Starnowski 2012 RADIUS make life easier 23
Creating SQL entries
INSERT INTO radcheck (username, attribute, op, value) VALUES ('user','Cleartext-Password',':=','pass'); INSERT INTO radreply (username, attribute, op, value) VALUES ('user','Mikrotik-Group',':=','write');
Exactly like in the users file:
user Cleartext-Password := pass Mikrotik-Group := write RADIUS make life easier 24
StarTik Daniel Starnowski 2012
Short example: wireless
For wireless RADIUS works similar to Access List and Connect List - decides, which stations can get to the registration table Configured in the Security Profile Default Authenticate stops working!
StarTik Daniel Starnowski 2012
RADIUS make life easier
25
Short example: wireless
StarTik Daniel Starnowski 2012
RADIUS make life easier
26
Short example: wireless
INSERT INTO radcheck (username, attribute, op, value) VALUES ('00:0C:42:01:02:03', 'Auth-Type',':=','Accept'); INSERT INTO radreply (username, attribute, op, value) VALUES ('00:0C:42:01:02:03', 'Mikrotik-Wireless-PSK',':=','PSKstring');
StarTik Daniel Starnowski 2012

27
Example: DHCP
MAC authorized and has Framed-IP-Address in the reply: it will get the specific address MAC is authorized but without reserved IP: it will get it from the pool MAC not authorized: won't get any address! RADIUS make life easier 28
StarTik Daniel Starnowski 2012
Example: DHCP
INSERT INTO radcheck (username, attribute, op, value) VALUES ('00:0C:42:01:02:03', 'Auth-Type',':=','Accept');
Wait... we already have this one!
INSERT INTO radreply (username, attribute, op, value) VALUES ('00:0C:42:01:02:03', 'Framed-IP-Address',':=','172.17.2.2'); RADIUS make life easier 29
StarTik Daniel Starnowski 2012
Example: DHCP
We have the same MAC address for wireless and for DHCP services! RADIUS will reply with all attributes to every service Wireless will get Mikrotik-Wireless-PSK, but ignore Framed-IP-Address DHCP will get Framed-IP-Address, but ignore Mikrotik-Wireless-PSK
StarTik Daniel Starnowski 2012

30
Example: DHCP
If a MAC address is not in the RADIUS database (it is not authorized) it will not get a DHCP lease!! What can we do to prevent it?

Modifying SQL query
In dialup.conf file we have the exact SQL query used to get the data from database: authorize_check_query = "SELECT id, username, attribute, value, op \ FROM ${authcheck_table} \ WHERE username = '%{SQL-User-Name}' \ ORDER BY id"
We can modify it, so that for every request from DHCP server it will give Auth-Type := Accept RADIUS make life easier 32
StarTik Daniel Starnowski 2012
Modified SQL query
authorize_check_query = "SELECT id, username, attribute, value, op \ FROM ${authcheck_table} \ WHERE username = '%{SQL-User-Name}' \ UNION \ SELECT DISTINCT 0, '%{SQL-User-Name}', 'Auth-Type', 'Accept', ':=' \ FROM ${authcheck_table} \ WHERE '%{Called-Station-Id}' like 'dhcp%' \ ORDER BY id" Now every MAC will get an IP address from the DHCP! 0,'54:04:A6:24:35:12','Auth-Type',':=','Accept' RADIUS make life easier 33

Hotspot: MAC authorization
StarTik Daniel Starnowski 2012
RADIUS make life easier
34
Hotspot: MAC authorization
If a user (MAC address) is not present in the Users list of the hotspot, it will be checked in the RADIUS database Only authorized users will access the network, unauthorized will get the login.html page
StarTik Daniel Starnowski 2012
RADIUS make life easier
35
Hotspot: MAC authorization
The MAC address will be authorized, if it will pass the radcheck query (i.e. will be present as username in the radcheck table) Additional reply attributes possible, like limits for the up/down/total bytes or connection time Mikrotik-Rate-Limit := 256k/512k Rate Limit will create a dynamic simple queue with the max-limit restrictions.
StarTik Daniel Starnowski 2012
RADIUS make life easier
36
Hotspot: MAC authorization
If both DHCP and Hotspot services get data from the same RADIUS database the queue will be created twice! It can be avoided by modifying the reply SQL query

37
Hotspot: HTML redirection
StarTik Daniel Starnowski 2012

38
Hotspot: HTML files
StarTik Daniel Starnowski 2012

Hotspot: HTML files (rlogin)

Hotspot: HTML files
For $(link-redirect) hotspot puts: http://10.255.255.255/login.html?dst=OLD_URL We modify the rlogin.html page Instead of $(link-redirect) we put: http://192.168.255.2/register.php?mac=$(mac) 192.168.255.2 our PHP/MySQL server For $(mac) hotspot will put user's MAC address The http server needs to be added to Hotspot's Walled Garden RADIUS make life easier 41

Management platform
New SQL table customers: +----------+------------------+ | Field | Type | +----------+------------------+ | id | int(11) unsigned | | username | varchar(64) | | password | varchar(64) | +----------+------------------+ Tables radcheck and radreply get additional field customer (integer) RADIUS make life easier 42
