### Linux radius client # Notes: For user authentication to a radius server, linux need the local user exist. The pam-radius module not create the local user automatically. To create the local user automatically: Enable the pam-radius module. Enable rsyslog and cron. The user try to login the first time. The the ssh daemon log the incident. Cron execute a script every minute: Read the log file and find the username. Verify the existence of the user with the radius server. Create the local user. The user can login now. # Install libpam-radius-auth and radius-utils apt-get install libpam-radius-auth freeradius-utils # Edit /etc/pam_radius_auth.conf Add the radius server: SERVER_IP_ADDRESS PRESHARED-KEY TIMEOUT # Edit /etc/pam.d/sshd # Edit /etc/pam.d/sudo First line add: auth sufficient pam_radius_auth.so # Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config Change: SyslogFacility LOCAL6 LogLevel INFO # Edit /etc/rsyslog.conf Add: local6.* -/var/log/sshd.log # Enable rsyslog and cron systemctl enable rsyslog.service systemctl enable cron.service # Add the radius group addgroup --system radius # Create the base dir for homes mkdir /radius chmod 755 /radius # Create the script /usr/local/bin/userradius.sh Change RADIUSIP and RADIUSPSK #!/bin/bash RADIUSIP='RADIUS_IP_ADDR' RADIUSPSK='RADIUS_PASSWORD' SSHLOG='/var/log/sshd.log' PATH='/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin' DIRHME='/radius' LOGFILE='/var/log/radius.log' if [ -s "$SSHLOG" ]; then DNOW=`date '+%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S'` cat "$SSHLOG" | grep 'input_userauth_request' | sed -e 's/invalid user /|/' -e 's/ \[preauth\]/|/' | cut -d '|' -f 2 | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]' | tr -d '[:blank:]' | sort | uniq | while read NAMEUSR; do VALIDATE=`radtest "$NAMEUSR" 'DUMMYPASS' "$RADIUSIP" '1812' "$RADIUSPSK" 2> /dev/null | grep 'Bad Encrypted password'` if [ ! -z "$VALIDATE" ]; then if [ ! -d "${DIRHME}/${NAMEUSR}" ]; then VALIDATE=`cat /etc/passwd | grep ^${NAMEUSR}` if [ -z "$VALIDATE" ]; then useradd -d "${DIRHME}/${NAMEUSR}" -g 'radius' -m -N -s '/bin/bash' "$NAMEUSR" chmod 700 "${DIRHME}/${NAMEUSR}" echo "${DNOW} - NAMEUSR creado: $NAMEUSR" >> "$LOGFILE" chmod 600 "$LOGFILE" fi fi fi done truncate -s 0 "$SSHLOG" fi # Make script executable chmod 750 /usr/local/bin/userradius.sh # Add the script to /etc/crontab * * * * * root /usr/local/bin/userradius.sh > /dev/null 2> /dev/null # Reboot
