Title: Freeradius 3 external server and mac-auth
Post by: jung301084 on February 01, 2018, 10:20:06 am

Hi alltogether,

I'm using Freeradius 3 on an external machine und used it with the Captive Portal from opnsense. The Captive Portal uses V-LAN for the Clients. The Radiusserver is in LAN. While using it with normal userlogin (username and passphrase) everything works fine. But I want to do MAC-Authentification, and this is not working. I don't see the MAC in Freeradius.  :-\

Opnsense is configured as NAS-Client.

Does anyone has experience with this configuraion.

If I remember correctly username/password must both be the mac address in Radius. But I have no idea if CP supports mac based authentication

@mimugmail, why should a captive portal be used for that? This is the Job of 802.1X.
