Before we create a user and password, let's use MD5 encryption instead of a clear text password. We will generate MD5 for '''demo123''' password using the following command:
Before we create a user and password, let us use MD5 encryption instead of a clear text password. We will generate MD5 encryption for '''demo123''' password using the following command:
<pre>
<pre>
echo -n demo123| md5sum | awk '{print $1}'
echo -n demo123| md5sum | awk '{print $1}'
Reply-Message := "%{User-Name} authenticated successfully"
Reply-Message := "%{User-Name} authenticated successfully"
</pre>

Once these changes are made, start the freeradius service:
<pre>
sudo /etc/init.d/freeradius start
</pre>
==Preparing RUT1==
Main requirements for RUT1:
*Static Public IP address
*Static lease set for Ubuntu server
*Ports 1812 and 1813 forwarding to local Ubuntu server
Firstly, let us set a static lease for the Ubuntu machine running Radius server:
* Login to WebUI and navigate to Network → Interfaces → LAN and add a static lease to the MAC address of Ubuntu machine.
* Navigate to Network → Firewall → Port Forwards and add two new rules to forward 1812 and 1813 ports from WAN to Radius server on the same ports.
Radius server is now set with basic configuration and ready to be tested with RUT2 to authenticate Hotspot users.
