I'm trying to install FreeRadius server locally and test that it's working in the right way. What I did:
- downloaded the server (https://wiki.freeradius.org/building/macOS)
- unzipped and ran
./configure --enable-developer --with-openssl=no
make
sudo make install
- after that I've tried to follow the tutorial (https://wiki.freeradius.org/guide/Basic-configuration-HOWTO) to set up PAP authentication. Basically I've done:
- I've created a file 'raddb/users' (without any extension)
- Put inside of 'users' file content
bob Cleartext-Password := "hello"
- run /build/bin/radiusd -x
- waited for the 'Read to process requests'
- executed
radtest bob hello localhost 0 testing123
- also, I've tried
echo "User-Name=bob,Cleartext-Password=hello" | /usr/local/bin/radclient localhost:1812 auth testing123
# or
echo "User-Name=bob,User-Password=hello" | /usr/local/bin/radclient localhost:1812 auth testing123
So, no matter what I'm trying I'm getting the same result. In console with the command I'm getting:
echo "User-Name=bob,Cleartext-Password=hello" | /usr/local/bin/radclient localhost:1812 auth testing123
Sent Access-Request Id 94 from 0.0.0.0:57710 to 127.0.0.1:1812 length 25

radtest bob hello localhost 0 testing123

NAS-Port = 0
Message-Authenticator = 0x00

Received Access-Reject Id 89 from 127.0.0.1:1812 to 127.0.0.1:61465 length 20
(0) -: Expected Access-Accept got Access-Reject
In any case (any command) I will see such logs in the server's console:

I see the warning there
No "known good" password found for the user.
but I can't understand what is the way to provide the password with this command or where should I put 'users' file, or what I should put in it. Can't understand how should I connect to the running server with this 'radtest' or 'radclient' tools. Any help is welcome
