ye3radius

A container AAA Radius server based on Freeradius and Alpine for a MySQL DB. Below 20 Mb. GNS3 ready.

The /etc/raddb folder is persistent.

Simple usage

docker run -dt --name myradius -e Y_TEST_NAS=yes -e Y_TEST_USER=yes palw3ey/ye3radius

Usage with MariaDB

If you don't have a MariaDB or MySQL Server, then proceed to step 1.
If you already have a running SQL Server, then skip to step 3.
If you already have a Radius DB with data, then skip to step 7.

1. Create MariaDB container

docker run -dt --name mymariadb -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=mypass mariadb:latest

2. Create Radius database and Radius DB user

docker exec -it mymariadb mariadb --user=root --password=mypass

create database radius;
create user 'radiusDBuser'@'%' identified by 'radiusDBpassword';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON radius.* TO radiusDBuser;
quit;

3. Import the MySQL schema

wget https://github.com/palw3ey/ye3radius/raw/main/schema.sql
mariadb --host=example.com --port=3306 --user=radiusDBuser --password=radiusDBpassword --database=radius < schema.sql
mariadb --host=example.com --port=3306 --user=radiusDBuser --password=radiusDBpassword --database=radius -e "SHOW TABLES;"

4. Create a NAS client
   The nas_address, below, is the IP address of the host that is requesting authentication. Use 0.0.0.0/0 to allow any IP address.

nas_address="10.10.10.10"
nas_secret="strongSecret"
mariadb --host=example.com --port=3306 --user=radiusDBuser --password=radiusDBpassword --database=radius -e "INSERT INTO  nas (nasname,shortname,type,ports,secret,server,community,description) VALUES ('"$nas_address"', 'nas access sql', 'other',NULL ,'"$nas_secret"',NULL ,NULL ,'RADIUS Client');"

5. Create a user

employee_username="tux"
employee_password="strongPassword"
mariadb --host=example.com --port=3306 --user=radiusDBuser --password=radiusDBpassword --database=radius -e "INSERT INTO radcheck (username, attribute, op, value) VALUES ('"$employee_username"', 'Cleartext-Password', ':=', '"$employee_password"');"

6. Include AVPair Reply (optional)
   To include Cisco-AVPair for a user

mariadb --host=example.com --port=3306 --user=radiusDBuser --password=radiusDBpassword --database=radius

INSERT INTO radreply
  (username, attribute, op, value)
VALUES
  ('tux', 'cisco-avpair', '+=', 'ipsec:dns-servers=1.1.1.1 8.8.8.8'),
  ('tux', 'cisco-avpair', '+=', 'ipsec:default-domain=example.lan');
quit;

7. Run
   In the first run the ye3radius container will creates certificates if not exist, this may take a couple of seconds or minutes before the Radius service get ready

docker run -dt --name myradius -e Y_DB_ENABLE=yes -e Y_DB_SERVER=example.lan -e Y_DB_PORT=3306 -e Y_DB_LOGIN=radiusDBuser -e Y_DB_PASSWORD=radiusDBpassword -e Y_DB_TLS_REQUIRED=no palw3ey/ye3radius

8. Test

# check if container is ready :
docker logs myradius

# get container IP :
docker inspect --format='{{.NetworkSettings.IPAddress}}' myradius

# On a ubuntu host :
apt install freeradius-utils
radtest $employee_username $employee_password $container_ip:1812 0 $nas_secret -x

Test

on the host

docker exec -it myradius sh --login -c "radtest test 1234 localhost:1812 0 testing123 -x"

on Cisco IOS

configure terminal
aaa new-model
radius server ye3radius
  address ipv4 10.10.10.250 auth-port 1812 acct-port 1813
  key strongSecret
  exit
do test aaa group radius server name ye3radius test 1234 new-code

HOWTOs

• Show freeradius log

docker exec -it myradius sh --login -c "tail -f /var/log/radius/radius.log"

• Connect to DB

mysql --host=example.com --port=3306 --user=login --password=password --database=radius

• Add a user

INSERT INTO radcheck
	(username, attribute, op, value)
VALUES
	('user', 'Cleartext-Password', ':=', 'password');

• Delete a user

DELETE FROM radcheck
WHERE username = 'user';

• Update a user password

UPDATE radcheck
SET value='password'
WHERE username='user';

• Disable a user

INSERT INTO radcheck
	(username, attribute, op, value)
VALUES
	('user', 'Auth-Type', ':=', 'Reject');

• Enable a previously disabled user

DELETE FROM radcheck
WHERE username='user'
AND attribute='Auth-Type'
AND value='Reject';

• List all user

SELECT * FROM radcheck;
