FreeRADIUS 3.0 with Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

06/01/2018 By Andrew Roderos 4 Comments

Last year, I talked about migrating my FreeRADIUS server with two-factor authentication (2FA) to a Docker container. Today, I will cover how to configure FreeRADIUS 3.0 with two-factor authentication using Google Authenticator in a Docker container with Ubuntu 18.04 image.

The new version of Ubuntu Server LTS edition (18.04 at this time of writing) changed the FreeRADIUS version from 2.x to 3.0. The change made my old post as invalid. With that said, I want to share my working configuration with you.

If you wish to learn more about FreeRADIUS, there is a book out there available for purchase. However, it is an older book, so you may need to do some more research. Though, one of the Amazon reviews mentioned that the difference between 2.x and 3.0 are minor so it may still be helpful.

The number of virtual machines in my two-node ESXi cluster is growing and my 32GB RAM Intel NUC ESXi build will be out of memory soon if I don’t make changes. That said, I had to find a way to cut down my RAM usage to squeeze more out of this build. I don’t want to spend a couple of thousand dollars on another build. The ESXi build that I am looking at has Supermicro X10SDV-TLN4F-O motherboard with Intel Xeon D-1541 and 128GB ECC RDIMM RAM, an expensive ESXi build. Yes, I could buy a used server on eBay for less, but I don’t want those servers because they are too bulky and loud.

Adding Two-Factor Authentication to FreeRADIUS

In my previous post, I talked about enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) for my public facing Linux host. In today’s post, I will talk about integrating Google Authenticator PAM to FreeRADIUS. As a result, any hosts that are pointed to my RADIUS server will have the 2FA functionality.
