## ## vmpsd.conf -- FreeRADIUS VMPS server configuration file. ## ## http://www.freeradius.org/ ## $Id$ ## # # This configuration file is for a stand-alone VMPS server that # does not do RADIUS. For an integrated radius + vmps server, # edit "radiusd.conf", and add two sections to it: # # listen { # type = vmps # ... # } # # vmps { # ... # } # # # See the text below for additional documentation on those two # sections. # # The location of other config files and # logfiles are declared in this file # # Also general configuration for modules can be done # in this file, it is exported through the API to # modules that ask for it. # # The configuration variables defined here are of the form ${foo} # They are local to this file, and do not change from request to # request. # # The per-request variables are of the form %{Attribute-Name}, and # are taken from the values of the attribute in the incoming # request. See 'doc/variables.txt' for more information. # # Standard includes, etc. # # FIXME: to make this work: prefix, etc. See radiusd.conf... # prefix = @prefix@ exec_prefix = @exec_prefix@ sysconfdir = @sysconfdir@ localstatedir = @localstatedir@ sbindir = @sbindir@ logdir = @logdir@ raddbdir = @raddbdir@ radacctdir = @radacctdir@ # # The logging messages for the server are appended to the # tail of this file. # log_file = ${logdir}/vmpsd.log # # Destination for log messages. This can be one of: # # files - log to ${log_file}, as defined above. # syslog - to syslog (see also the log{} section, below) # stdout - standard output # stderr - standard error. # # The command-line option "-X" over-rides this option, and forces # logging to go to stdout. # log_destination = files # # libdir: Where to find the rlm_* modules. # # This should be automatically set at configuration time. # # If the server builds and installs, but fails at execution time # with an 'undefined symbol' error, then you can use the libdir # directive to work around the problem. # # The cause is usually that a library has been installed on your # system in a place where the dynamic linker CANNOT find it. When # executing as root (or another user), your personal environment MAY # be set up to allow the dynamic linker to find the library. When # executing as a daemon, FreeRADIUS MAY NOT have the same # personalized configuration. # # To work around the problem, find out which library contains that symbol, # and add the directory containing that library to the end of 'libdir', # with a colon separating the directory names. NO spaces are allowed. # # e.g. libdir = /usr/local/lib:/opt/package/lib # # You can also try setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable # in a script which starts the server. # # If that does not work, then you can re-configure and re-build the # server to NOT use shared libraries, via: # # ./configure --disable-shared # make # make install # libdir = @libdir@ # pidfile: Where to place the PID of the RADIUS server. # # The server may be signalled while it's running by using this # file. # # This file is written when ONLY running in daemon mode. # # e.g.: kill -HUP `cat /var/run/radiusd/radiusd.pid` # pidfile = ${run_dir}/vmpsd.pid # user/group: The name (or #number) of the user/group to run vmpsd as. # # If these are commented out, the server will run as the user/group # that started it. In order to change to a different user/group, you # MUST be root ( or have root privleges ) to start the server. # # We STRONGLY recommend that you run the server with as few permissions # as possible. That is, if you're not using shadow passwords, the # user and group items below should be set to 'nobody'. # # On SCO (ODT 3) use "user = nouser" and "group = nogroup". # # NOTE that some kernels refuse to setgid(group) when the value of # (unsigned)group is above 60000; don't use group nobody on these systems! # # On systems with shadow passwords, you might have to set 'group = shadow' # for the server to be able to read the shadow password file. If you can # authenticate users while in debug mode, but not in daemon mode, it may be # that the debugging mode server is running as a user that can read the # shadow info, and the user listed below can not. # #user = nobody #group = nobody # max_request_time: The maximum time (in seconds) to handle a request. # # Requests which take more time than this to process may be killed, and # a REJECT message is returned. # # WARNING: If you notice that requests take a long time to be handled, # then this MAY INDICATE a bug in the server, in one of the modules # used to handle a request, OR in your local configuration. # # This problem is most often seen when using an SQL database. If it takes # more than a second or two to receive an answer from the SQL database, # then it probably means that you haven't indexed the database. See your # SQL server documentation for more information. # # Useful range of values: 5 to 120 # max_request_time = 30 # cleanup_delay: The time to wait (in seconds) before cleaning up # a reply which was sent to the NAS. # # The VMPS request is normally cached internally for a short period # of time, after the reply is sent to the NAS. The reply packet may be # lost in the network, and the NAS will not see it. The NAS will then # re-send the request, and the server will respond quickly with the # cached reply. # # If this value is set too low, then duplicate requests from the NAS # MAY NOT be detected, and will instead be handled as seperate requests. # # If this value is set too high, then the server will cache too many # requests, and some new requests may get blocked. (See 'max_requests'.) # # Useful range of values: 2 to 10 # cleanup_delay = 5 # listen: Make the server listen on a particular IP address, and send # replies out from that address. This directive is most useful for # hosts with multiple IP addresses on one interface. # # If you want the server to listen on additional addresses, or on # additionnal ports, you can use multiple "listen" sections. # # Each section make the server listen for only one type of packet, # therefore authentication and accounting have to be configured in # different sections. # # The server ignore all "listen" section if you are using '-i' and '-p' # on the command line. # listen { # IP address on which to listen. # Allowed values are: # dotted quad (1.2.3.4) # hostname (radius.example.com) # wildcard (*) ipaddr = * # OR, you can use an IPv6 address, but not both # at the same time. # ipv6addr = :: # any. ::1 == localhost # Port on which to listen. # Allowed values are: # integer port number # 1589 is the default VMPS port. port = 1589 # Type of packets to listen for. Use "vmps" for VMPSd. # type = vmps # Some systems support binding to an interface, in addition # to the IP address. This feature isn't strictly necessary, # but for sites with many IP addresses on one interface, # it's useful to say "listen on all addresses for eth0". # # If your system does not support this feature, you will # get an error if you try to use it. # # interface = eth0 # Per-socket lists of clients. This is a very useful feature. # # The name here is a reference to a section elsewhere in # radiusd.conf, or clients.conf. Having the name as # a reference allows multiple sockets to use the same # set of clients. # # If this configuration is used, then the global list of clients # is IGNORED for this "listen" section. Take care configuring # this feature, to ensure you don't accidentally disable a # client you need. # # See clients.conf for the configuration of "per_socket_clients". # # clients = per_socket_clients } # hostname_lookups: Log the names of clients or just their IP addresses # e.g., www.freeradius.org (on) or 206.47.27.232 (off). # # The default is 'off' because it would be overall better for the net # if people had to knowingly turn this feature on, since enabling it # means that each client request will result in AT LEAST one lookup # request to the nameserver. Enabling hostname_lookups will also # mean that your server may stop randomly for 30 seconds from time # to time, if the DNS requests take too long. # # Turning hostname lookups off also means that the server won't block # for 30 seconds, if it sees an IP address which has no name associated # with it. # # allowed values: {no, yes} # hostname_lookups = no # Core dumps are a bad thing. This should only be set to 'yes' # if you're debugging a problem with the server. # # allowed values: {no, yes} # allow_core_dumps = no # Regular expressions # # These items are set at configure time. If they're set to "yes", # then setting them to "no" turns off regular expression support. # # If they're set to "no" at configure time, then setting them to "yes" # WILL NOT WORK. It will give you an error. # regular_expressions = yes extended_expressions = yes # # Logging section.

You probably # don't want to change this. # syslog_facility = daemon } # THREAD POOL CONFIGURATION # # The thread pool is a long-lived group of threads which # take turns (round-robin) handling any incoming requests. # # You probably want to have a few spare threads around, # so that high-load situations can be handled immediately. If you # don't have any spare threads, then the request handling will # be delayed while a new thread is created, and added to the pool. # # You probably don't want too many spare threads around, # otherwise they'll be sitting there taking up resources, and # not doing anything productive. # # The numbers given below should be adequate for most situations. # thread pool { # Number of servers to start initially --- should be a reasonable # ballpark figure. start_servers = 5 # Limit on the total number of servers running. # # If this limit is ever reached, clients will be LOCKED OUT, so it # should NOT BE SET TOO LOW. It is intended mainly as a brake to # keep a runaway server from taking the system with it as it spirals # down... # # You may find that the server is regularly reaching the # 'max_servers' number of threads, and that increasing # 'max_servers' doesn't seem to make much difference. # # If this is the case, then the problem is MOST LIKELY that # your back-end databases are taking too long to respond, and # are preventing the server from responding in a timely manner. # # The solution is NOT do keep increasing the 'max_servers' # value, but instead to fix the underlying cause of the # problem: slow database, or 'hostname_lookups=yes'. # # For more information, see 'max_request_time', above. # max_servers = 32 # Server-pool size regulation. Rather than making you guess # how many servers you need, The server dynamically adapts to # the load it sees, that is, it tries to maintain enough # servers to handle the current load, plus a few spare # servers to handle transient load spikes. # # It does this by periodically checking how many servers are # waiting for a request. If there are fewer than # min_spare_servers, it creates a new spare. If there are # more than max_spare_servers, some of the spares die off. # The default values are probably OK for most sites. # min_spare_servers = 3 max_spare_servers = 10 # There may be memory leaks or resource allocation problems with # the server. If so, set this value to 300 or so, so that the # resources will be cleaned up periodically. # # This should only be necessary if there are serious bugs in the # server which have not yet been fixed. # # '0' is a special value meaning 'infinity', or 'the servers never # exit' max_requests_per_server = 0 } # MODULE CONFIGURATION # # The names and configuration of each module is located in this section. # # After the modules are defined here, they may be referred to by name, # in other sections of this configuration file. # modules { # # Add modules here. See "radiusd.conf" for examples. # } # Instantiation # # This section orders the loading of the modules. Modules # listed here will get loaded BEFORE the later sections like # authorize, authenticate, etc. get examined. # # This section is not strictly needed. When a section like # authorize refers to a module, it's automatically loaded and # initialized. However, some modules may not be listed in any # of the following sections, so they can be listed here. # # Also, listing modules here ensures that you have control over # the order in which they are initalized. If one module needs # something defined by another module, you can list them in order # here, and ensure that the configuration will be OK. # instantiate { # # Add modules here. See "radiusd.conf" for examples. # } # # And the REAL contents. This section is just like the "post-auth" # section of radiusd.conf. In fact, it calls the "post-auth" component # of the modules that are listed here. But it's called "vmps" for # simplicity. # vmps { # # This is a hack for testing # update reply { VMPS-Packet-Type = VMPS-Join-Response VMPS-VLAN-Name = "foo" VMPS-Cookie = "%{VMPS-Mac}" } }
