RADIUS - a few problems!

[Peter Rowe]

Hi There,

 

I have been using the EVAL BM 1.8 RADIUS installed onto my Netware 6.5.3 and 6.5.5 servers, which has worked for ages, however I have the following Niggles that are now an issue.

 

On one windows box (where I mainly administer ConsoleOne) if I click on my DAS object, all the clients are listed correctly.

 

Copying this ENTIRE consoleone directory to another Windows PC (I have tried two) results in the "RADIUS Clients" being blank!  (ie. no clients are listed).

Furthermore loading RADIUS on a spare netware server here always displays "UNKNOWN RADIUS CLIENT" when attempting to authenticate.  (on oldder server has just died so I am moving 2nd RADIUS server to another server)

 

I am sure this is the same issue, but I cannot work out why the RADIUS database is not being replicated correctly - can someone Help?

 

(From the other server, RADIUS is OK as long as I modify RADIUS Client using the 'good' consoleone.

 

Thanks,

Peter.

I'm trying to remember if this is an issue I saw once where the problem was actually how ConsoleOne got
launched. I tihnk I had to use a mapped drive letter and launch from a server or I had the issue.

I'm guessing that the new server wasn't properly configured to accept requests?

Did you change the configuration for RADIUS on the new server or just copy NLM's over and launch?

The thing is it works on one (identical) citrix server & not on the other!!
Where is the "clients" database actually stored?

I just copied the NLM's etc, but I have done this before without issues, in
fact it's running on 3 other servers!

May have to have a look at this, but I've set it up a lot... thanks for
your help.

I don't believe this is a clients database issue at all. I don't think there
is a 'client database'. The config for RADIUS is all stored in NDS.

What I think is going on there is some sort of ConsoleOne snapin issue. When
I saw a similar symptom, it was due to the way I launched ConsoleOne and
nothing else. Changing the launch method made the symptom go away.

Have you enabled RADIUS debug to see more information on the problem?
