Splunk Apps » RADIUS Authentication

h1. Testing

h2. Install a RADIUS server (FreeRADIUS)

Install FreeRADIUS per directions for your OS. On mac, you can install it via brew:

<pre>

brew install freeradius-server

</pre>

h2. Setup a user

Create a user for testing bu adding one to the users config file (raddb/users). The actual path varies. On a Mac with FreeRADIUS 3.0.12, the file is at /usr/local/Cellar/freeradius-server/3.0.12/etc/raddb/.

I usually just use the example that is suggested in the FreeRADIUS docs:

<pre>

bob    Cleartext-Password := "hello"

       Reply-Message := "Hello, %{User-Name}"

</pre>

h2. Test your RADIUS server with radtest

Start Free in debugging mode:

<pre>

radiusd -X

</pre>

Next, run radtest against the server:

<pre>

radtest bob hello localhost 0 testing123

</pre>

If successful, you should see a message ending with:

<pre>

Received Access-Accept Id 238 from 127.0.0.1:1812 to 0.0.0.0:0 length 32

	Reply-Message = "Hello, bob"

</pre>

h2. Setup Splunk

Install Splunk and the RADIUS authentication app.
