Overview
This module installs and configures FreeRADIUS server on Linux. It supports FreeRADIUS 3.x only. It was designed with CentOS in mind but should work on other distributions. Please note that at this time, current versions of Debian and Ubuntu still package FreeRADIUS 2.2.x which is end-of-life. If you use Debian or Ubuntu, you will need to use version 1.x of this module, which itself is no longer maintained.
This module requires Puppet 4.0.0 or greater. Puppet 3.x was discontinued at the end of 2016.

Module Description
This module installs FreeRADIUS from a distro-provided package and installs a
number of customised config files to enable flexibility. It then provides some
helpers to allow you to easily configure virtual servers (sites), modules, clients
and other config items. Most of these items accept a flat config file which you
supply either as a static file or a template - similar to the source
and content
parameters in Puppet's file
resource.
This module is designed to make it more straightforward for RADIUS administrators to deploy RADIUS servers using Puppet. This module does not serve as a wizard and does not avoid having to have an understanding of FreeRADIUS.
Usage
This module provides several classes and defined types which take parameters.
Classes
freeradius
The freeradius
class installs the base server. In the early releases, this class does not
have many parameters as most values are hard-coded. I am working on parameterising more
of the global settings to increase flexibility. Patches are welcome.
control_socket
Use of the control_socket parameter in the freeradius class is deprecated. Use the freeradius::control_socket
class instead.
correct_escapes
Use correct backslash escaping in unlang. Default: true
max_requests
The maximum number of requests which the server keeps track of. This should be 256 multiplied by the number of clients. Default: 4096
max_servers
Limit on the total number of servers running. Default: 4096
mysql_support
Install support for MySQL. Note this only installs the package. Use freeradius::sql
to configure SQL support. Default: false
perl_support
Install support for Perl. Default: false
preserve_mods
Leave recommended stock modules enabled. Default: true
utils_support
Install FreeRADIUS utils. Default: false
ldap_support
Install support for LDAP. Default: false
krb5_support
Install support for Kerberos. Default: false
wpa_supplicant
Install wpa_supplicant utility. Default: false
winbind_support
Add the radius user to the winbind privileged group. You must install winbind separately. Default: false
.
log_destination
Configure destination of log messages. Valid values are files
, syslog
, stdout
and stderr
. Default: files
.
syslog
Add a syslog rule (using the saz/rsyslog
module). Default: false
.
log_auth
Log authentication requests (yes/no). Default: no
.
class { 'freeradius':
max_requests => 4096,
max_servers => 4096,
mysql_support => true,
perl_support => true,
utils_support => true,
wpa_supplicant => true,
winbind_support => true,
syslog => true,
log_auth => 'yes',
}
freeradius::status_server
The freeradius::status_server
class enabled the status server.
To remove the status server, do not include this class and the server will be removed.
secret
The shared secret for the status server. Required.
port
The port to listen for status requests on. Default: 18121
listen
The address to listen on. Defaults to listen on all addresses but you could set this to $::ipaddress
or 127.0.0.1
. Default: *
# Enable status server
class { 'freeradius::status_server':
port => '18120',
secret => 't0pSecret!',
}
freeradius::control_socket
The freeradius::control_socket
class enables the control socket which can be used with RADMIN.
To remove the control socket, do not include this class and the socket will be removed.
mode
Whether the control socket should be read-only or read-write. Choose from ro
, rw
. Default: ro
.
# Enable control socket
class { 'freeradius::control_socket':
mode => 'ro',
}
Resources
freeradius::attr
Install arbitrary attribute filters from a flat file. These are installed in an appropriate module config directory.
The contents of the attr_filter
module are automatically updated to reference the filters.
key
Specify a RADIUS attribute to be the key for this attribute filter. Enter only the string part of the name.
prefix
Specify the prefix for the attribute filter name before the dot, e.g. filter.post_proxy
. This is usually set
to filter
on FR2 and attr_filter
on FR3. Default: filter
.
freeradius::attr { 'eduroamlocal':
key => 'User-Name',
prefix => 'attr_filter',
source => 'puppet:///modules/site_freeradius/eduroamlocal',
}
freeradius::blank
Selectively blank certain stock config files that aren't required. This is preferable to deleting them because the package manager will replace certain files next time the package is upgraded, potentially causing unexpected behaviour.
The resource title should be the relative path from the FreeRADIUS config directory to the file(s) you want to blank. You can pass multiple files in an array.
freeradius::blank { 'sites-enabled/default': }
freeradius::blank { [
'sites-enabled/default',
'eap.conf',
]: }
freeradius::cert
Install certificates as provided. These are installed in /etc/raddb/certs
. Beware that any certificates not deployed by Puppet will be purged from this directory.
freeradius::cert { 'mycert.pem':
source => 'puppet:///modules/site_freeradius/mycert.pem',
type => 'key',
}
freeradius::cert { 'mycert.pem':
content => '<your key/cert content here>',
type => 'key',
}
type
Set file permissions on the installed certificate differently depending on whether this is a private key or a public certificate. Note that the default is to treat the file as a private key and remove world-readable privileges. Allowable values: cert
, key
. Default: key
.
freeradius::client
Define RADIUS clients as seen in clients.conf
# Single host example
freeradius::client { "wlan-controller01":
ip => '192.168.0.1',
secret => 'testing123',
shortname => 'wlc01',
nastype => 'other',
port => '1645-1646',
firewall => true,
}
# Range example
freeradius::client { "wlan-controllers":
ip => '192.168.0.0/24',
secret => 'testing123',
shortname => 'wlc01',
nastype => 'other',
port => '1645-1646',
firewall => true,

. ip
and ip6
are mutually exclusive but one must be supplied.
Default: undef
.
ip6
The IPv6 address of the client or range in CIDR format. ip
and ip6
are mutually exclusive but one must be supplied. Default: undef
.
shortname
A short alias that is used in place of the IP address or fully qualified hostname provided in the first line of the section. Defaults to resource name.
secret
The RADIUS shared secret used for communication between the client/NAS and the RADIUS server. Required.
virtual_server
The virtual server that traffic from this client should be sent to. Default: undef
.
nastype
The nastype
attribute is used to tell the checkrad.pl
script which NAS-specific method it should use when checking simultaneous use. See man clients.conf
for a list of all options. Default: undef
.
proto
Transport protocol used by the client. If unspecified, defaults to "udp", which is the traditional RADIUS transport. Valid values are udp
, tcp
or *
for both of them. Default: undef
.
require_message_authenticator
Old-style clients do not send a Message-Authenticator in an Access-Request. RFC 5080 suggests that all clients SHOULD include it in an Access-Request. Valid values are yes
and no
. Default: no
.
login
Login used by checkrad.pl when querying the NAS for simultaneous use. Default: undef
.
password
Password used by checkrad.pl when querying the NAS for simultaneous use. Default: undef
.
coa_server
A pointer to the "home_server_pool" OR a "home_server" section that contains the CoA configuration for this client. Default: undef
.
response_window
Response window for proxied packets. Default: undef
.
max_connections
Limit the number of simultaneous TCP connections from a client. It is ignored for clients sending UDP traffic. Default: undef
.
lifetime

.
idle_timeout
The idle timeout, in seconds, of a TCP connection. It is ignored for clients sending UDP traffic. Default: undef
.
port
The UDP port that this virtual server should listen on. Leave blank if this client is not tied to a virtual server. Currently the port number is only used to create firewall exceptions and you only need to specify it if you set firewall => true
. Use port range syntax as in puppetlabs-firewall
. Default: undef
.
firewall
Create a firewall exception for this virtual server. If this is set to true
, you must also supply port
and either ip
or ip6
. Default: false
.
attributes
Array of attributes to assign to this client. Default: empty.
freeradius::config
Install arbitrary config snippets from a flat file. These are installed in /etc/raddb/conf.d
freeradius::config { 'realm-checks.conf':
source => 'puppet:///modules/site_freeradius/realm-checks.conf',
}
freeradius::config { 'realm-checks.conf':
content => template('your_template),
}
freeradius::dictionary
Install custom dictionaries without breaking the default FreeRADIUS dictionary. Custom dictionaries are installed in /etc/raddb/dictionary.d
and automatically included in the global dictionary.
freeradius::dictionary { 'mydict':
source => 'puppet:///modules/site_freeradius/dictionary.mydict',
}
freeradius::home_server
This section defines a "Home Server" which is another RADIUS server that gets sent proxied requests.
secret
The shared secret use to "encrypt" and "sign" packets between FreeRADIUS and the home server.
type
Home servers can be sent Access-Request packets or Accounting-Request packets. Allowed values are:
-
auth
Handles Access-Request packets -
acct
Handles Accounting-Request packets -
auth+acct
Handles Access-Request packets at "port" and Accounting-Request packets at "port + 1" -
coa
Handles CoA-Request and Disconnect-Request packets.
Default: auth
ipaddr
IPv4 address or hostname of the home server. Specify one of ipaddr
, ipv6addr
or virtual_server
ipv6addr
IPv6 address or hostname of the home server. Specify one of ipaddr
, ipv6addr
or virtual_server
virtual_server
If you specify a virtual_server here, then requests will be proxied internally to that virtual server.
These requests CANNOT be proxied again, however. The intent is to have the local server handle packets
when all home servers are dead. Specify one of ipaddr
, ipv6addr
or virtual_server
port
The port to which packets are sent. Usually 1812 for type "auth", and 1813 for type "acct".
Older servers may use 1645 and 1646. Use 3799 for type "coa" Default: 1812
proto
The transport protocol. If unspecified, defaults to "udp", which is the traditional
RADIUS transport. It may also be "tcp", in which case TCP will be used to talk to
this home server. Default: udp
status_check
Type of check to see if the home_server is dead or alive. Valid values are none
, status-server
and request
. Default: undef
.
freeradius::home_server_pool
home_server
An array of one or more home servers. The names of the home servers are NOT the hostnames, but the names
of the sections. (e.g. home_server foo {...}
has name "foo".
Note that ALL home servers listed here have to be of the same type. i.e. they all have to be "auth", or they all have to be "acct", or they all have to be "auth+acct".
type
The type of this pool controls how home servers are chosen.
-
fail-over
the request is sent to the first live home server in the list. i.e. If the first home server is marked "dead", the second one is chosen, etc. -
load-balance
the least busy home server is chosen For non-EAP auth methods, and for acct packets, we recommend using "load-balance". It will ensure the highest availability for your network. -
client-balance
the home server is chosen by hashing the source IP address of the packet. This configuration is most useful to do simple load balancing for EAP sessions -
client-port-balance
the home server is chosen by hashing the source IP address and source port of the packet. -
keyed-balance
the home server is chosen by hashing (FNV) the contents of the Load-Balance-Key attribute from the control items.
The default type is fail-over
.
virtual_server
A virtual_server
may be specified here. If so, the "pre-proxy" and "post-proxy" sections are called when
the request is proxied, and when a response is received.
fallback
If ALL home servers are dead, then this "fallback" home server is used. If set, it takes precedence over any realm-based fallback, such as the DEFAULT realm.
For reasons of stability, this home server SHOULD be a virtual server. Otherwise, the fallback may itself be dead!

preserve => true,
}
# Install a custom module from a flat file
freeradius::module { 'buffered-sql':

}
# Install a custom module from a template
freeradius::module { 'buffered-sql':
content => template('some_template.erb)',
}

Install a policy from a flat file.
freeradius::policy { 'my-policies':
source => 'puppet:///modules/site_freeradius/my-policies',
}
freeradius::realm
Define a realm in proxy.conf
. Realms point to pools of home servers.
virtual_server
Set this to "proxy" requests internally to a virtual server. The pre-proxy and post-proxy sections are run just as with any other kind of home server. The virtual server then receives the request, and replies, just as with any other packet. Once proxied internally like this, the request CANNOT be proxied internally or externally.
auth_pool
For authentication, the auth_pool
configuration item should point to a home_server_pool
that was previously
defined. All of the home servers in the auth_pool
must be of type auth
.
acct_pool
For accounting, the acct_pool
configuration item should point to a home_server_pool
that was previously
defined. All of the home servers in the acct_pool
must be of type acct
.
pool
If you have a home_server_pool
where all of the home servers are of type auth+acct
, you can just use the pool
configuration item, instead of specifying both auth_pool
and acct_pool
.
nostrip
Normally, when an incoming User-Name is matched against the realm, the realm name is "stripped" off, and the "stripped"
user name is used to perform matches.If you do not want this to happen, set this to true
. Default: false
.
freeradius::script
Install a helper script, e.g. which might be called upon by a virtual server. These are
placed in /etc/raddb/scripts
and are not automatically included by the server.
freeradius::script{ 'myperlscript.pl':
source => 'puppet:///modules/site_freeradius/myperlscript.pl',
}
freeradius::site
Install a virtual server (a.k.a. site) from a flat file. Sites are installed directly
into /etc/raddb/sites-enabled
. Any files in this directory that are not managed by
Puppet will be removed.
freeradius::site { 'inner-tunnel':

Array of options (as String) for the preacct section of the site. This parameter is
ignored if source
or content
are used. Default: [].
accounting
Array of options (as String) for the accounting section of the site. This parameter is
ignored if source
or content
are used. Default: [].
session
Array of options (as String) for the session section of the site. This parameter is
ignored if source
or content
are used. Default: [].
post_auth
Array of options (as String) for the post-auth section of the site. This parameter is
ignored if source
or content
are used. Default: [].
pre_proxy
Array of options (as String) for the pre-proxy section of the site. This parameter is
ignored if source
or content
are used. Default: [].
post_proxy
Array of options (as String) for the post-proxy section of the site. This parameter is
ignored if source
or content
are used. Default: [].
listen
Array of listen definitions for the site. This parameter is ignored if source
or
content
are used. Default: [].
freeradius::sql
Configure SQL connections. You can define multiple database connections by
invoking this resource multiple times. If you are using MySQL, don't forget to
also set mysql_support => true
in the base freeradius
class.
freeradius::sql { 'mydatabase':
database => 'mysql',
server => '192.168.0.1',
login => 'radius',
password => 'topsecret',
radius_db => 'radius',
}
database
Default: undef
. Required. Specify which FreeRADIUS database driver to use. Choose one of mysql
, mssql
, oracle
, postgresql
server
Default: localhost
. Specify hostname of IP address of the database server.
port
TCP port to connect to the database. Default: 3306
.
login
Default: radius
. Username to connect to the databae.
password
Default: undef
. Required. Password to connect to the database.
radius_db
Default: radius
. Name of the database. Normally you should leave this alone. If you are using Oracle then use this instead:
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=your_sid)))
.
num_sql_socks
Default: same as max_servers
. Number of sql connections to make to the database server.
Setting this to LESS than the number of threads means that some threads may starve, and
you will see errors like "No connections available and at max connection limit". Setting
this to MORE than the number of threads means that there are more connections than necessary.
Leave blank to set it to the same value as the number of threads.
lifetime
Default: 0
. Lifetime of an SQL socket. If you are having network issues such as TCP sessions expiring, you may need to set the socket
lifetime. If set to non-zero, any open connections will be closed $lifetime
seconds after they were first opened.
max_queries
Default: 0
. Maximum number of queries used by an SQL socket. If you are having issues with SQL sockets lasting "too long", you can
limit the number of queries performed over one socket. After $max_qeuries
, the socket will be closed. Use 0 for "no limit".
query_file
query_file
has been deprecated - use custom_query_file
instead
Default: sql/${database}/dialup.conf
. Relative path to the file which contains your SQL queries. By
default, points to the dialup.conf
specific to your database engine, so leave this blank if you are
using stock queries.
If you need to use custom queries, it is recommended that you deploy your query file using
freeradius::script
to install the file into /etc/raddb/scripts/custom_dialup.conf
and then
set query_file
to scripts/custom_dialup.conf
.
custom_query_file
Default: null
. Puppet fileserver path to a file which contains your SQL queries, i.e. dialup.conf
. This
option is intended to be a replacment for query_file
, which requires separate deployment of the file. This
option allows you to specify a Puppet-managed custom dialup.conf
which is installed and loaded automatically.
query_file
must be left blank if you use custom_query_file
.
acct_table1
If you want both stop and start records logged to the same SQL table, leave this as is. If you want them in
different tables, put the start table in $acct_table1
and stop table in $acct_table2
. Default : radacct
acct_table2
If you want both stop and start records logged to the same SQL table, leave this as is. If you want them in
different tables, put the start table in $acct_table1
and stop table in $acct_table2
. Default : radacct
postauth_table
Table for storing data after authentication
authcheck_table
Default: radcheck
authreply_table
Default: radreply
groupcheck_table
Default: radgroupcheck
groupreply_table
Default: radgroupreply
usergroup_table
Table to keep group info. Default: radusergroup
read_groups
If set to yes
(default) we read the group tables. If set to no
the user MUST have Fall-Through = Yes
in the radreply table. Default: yes
.
deletestalesessions
Remove stale session if checkrad does not see a double login. Default: yes
.
sqltrace
Print all SQL statements when in debug mode (-x). Default: no
.
sqltracefile
Location for SQL statements to be stored if $sqltrace = yes
. Default:
${logdir}/sqllog.sql
connect_failure_retry_delay
Number of seconds to dely retrying on a failed database connection (per socket). Default: 60
.
nas_table
Table to keep radius client info. Default: nas
.
readclients
Set to yes
to read radius clients from the database ($nas_table
) Clients will ONLY be read on server startup. For performance
and security reasons, finding clients via SQL queries CANNOT be done "live" while the server is running. Default: no
.
pool_start
Connections to create during module instantiation. Default: 1.
pool_min
Minimum number of connnections to keep open. Default: 1.
pool_spare
Spare connections to be left idle. Default: 1.
pool_idle_timeout
Idle timeout (in seconds). A connection which is unused for this length of time will be closed. Default: 60.
pool_connect_timeout
Connection timeout (in seconds). The maximum amount of time to wait for a new connection to be established. Default: '3.0'.
freeradius::statusclient
Define RADIUS clients, specifically to connect to the status server for monitoring.
Very similar usage to freeradius::client
but with fewer options.
ip
Default: undef
. The IP address of the client in CIDR format. For IPv6, use ipv6addr
. ip
and ip6
are mutually exclusive but one must be supplied.
ip6
Default: undef
. The IPv6 address of the client in CIDR format. ip
and ip6
are mutually exclusive but one must be supplied.
secret
required. The RADIUS shared secret used for communication between the client/NAS and the RADIUS server.
port
Default: undef
. The UDP port that this virtual server should listen on. Leave blank if this client is not tied to a virtual server.
shortname
required. A short alias that is used in place of the IP address or fully qualified hostname provided in the first line of the section.
freeradius::template
Define template items that can be referred to in other config items
source
Provide source to a file with the template item. Specify only one of source
or content
.
content
Provide content of template item. Specify only one of source
or content
.
freeradius::virtual_module
Define a virtual module which consists of one or more other modules, for failover or load-balancing purposes.
submodules
Provide an array of submodules which will be loaded into this virtual module. Required.
type
Select the type of virtual module from redundant
, load-balance
, redundant-load-balance
or group
. See virtual modules
and load-balancing for more details.
# Load virtual module myldap
freeradius::virtual_module { 'myldap':
submodules => ['ldap1', 'ldap2'],
type => 'redundant-load-balance',
}
Limitations
This module is targeted at FreeRADIUS 3.x running on CentOS 7. It will not work on FreeRADIUS 2.x. It has not been thoroughly tested on other distributions, but might work. Likely sticking points with other distros are the names of packages, services and file paths.
This module was written for use with Puppet 3.6 and 3.7, but should be quite agnostic to new versions of Puppet.
Development
This module was written primarily for internal use - features we haven't needed to use probably haven't been written. Please send pull requests with new features and bug fixes. You are also welcome to file issues but I make no guarantees of development effort if the features aren't useful to my employer.
