MongoDB module for FreeRADIUS

This module allow you to use MongoDB as FreeRADIUS backend (instead of a LDAP). Please consider using other module since this one is not maintained anymore.

How it works ?

Each time your radius receives a authorization request, FreeRADIUS will check user credentials stored in MongoDB.

The request looks like :

{
	"mac": "00-11-22-33-44-55",
	"username": "john"
}

If a document matches, MongoDB will return :

{
	.. some data ..
	"password": "secret"
	.. some data ..
}

FreeRADIUS will now compare given password and MongoDB password (only cleartext password).

Install

• Copy the directory rlm_mongo/ into src/modules/
• Add "rlm_mongo" in src/modules/stable
• Build as usual
  • ./configure
  • make
  • make install
• Edit your configuration
  • Create a file named mongo in raddb/modules/ and insert your configuration (see below)
  • Add in your site configuration in authorize sub-section "mongo"
• Run radiusd

Configuration

mongo {
	port = "27017"
	ip = "192.168.1.181"

	base = 	"production.users"
	username_field = "username"
	password_field = "password"

	# Check mac address (optionnal)
	# mac_field = "mac"

	# Check enable account (optionnal)
	# enable_field = "activate"
}

Tips

If you use rlm_mongo in inner-tunnel and mac filter, ensure you have this in eap.conf : copy_request_to_tunnel = yes

If you want to use NTLM password, only replace Cleartext-Password by NT-Password in rlm_mongo.c
