SLES 12 FreeRADIUS LDAP module missing?

I am attempting to setup a new RADIUS server in our environment and move from FreeRADIUS 1.0.1 to FreeRADIUS 3.0+ (available in the SLES 12 repos) … however, I cannot find the LDAP module for FreeRADIUS after installation within the /etc/raddb/mods-available/ directory.

Is there a different way that needs to be handled now? The README in /etc/raddb/ seems to think it should be there.

Thanks for the help!

Hi
Yup, looks like it’s missing. I checked the src rpm of the SLE 12 SDK
and it shows it present, but for what ever reason not in the pool…

Let me ping my SUSE contacts.

In looking into this I’ve also found that both krb5 and perl modules for
FreeRADIUS are also missing from mods-available (as is abfab_psk_sql but
I think that was added after 3.0.3). I’ve reported these omissions to SUSE.

HTH.

Thanks to both of you!

As an aside, I would love to see some machinery for community members without support to be able to file and then track bug reports again SLE. Our current license has no SRs attached to it, but we try our best to report any “rough edges” we find and it would be nice to have more insight and access when we file these than the public bug reporting tool with no insight at all.

Just something to file away for the future. Thanks!

It sounds like you’ve already found
https://www.suse.com/support/report-a-bug/ where you can report a bug
without opening a Service Request but not receive any feedback so you’re
looking for something in between that and SRs? If so, I can’t see that
changing as I don’t see how SUSE would benefit from such a scheme.

There already exists a mechanism where SRs can be refund if an issue is
found to be a defect which hasn’t been publicly documented so I think
that’s your middle ground except you have to pay upfront.

HTH.

I think the value would be in those with licenses, but not SRs, being more willing to supply bug reports because they’d be able to see a little of what is going on with that bug report instead of firing-and-forgetting. More bug reports can help equal a higher-quality product which would make it a better sell to those who would need SRs.

That’s just from my (biased) point-of-view. Again, thanks for the help.

Back to the task at hand: any word on when/if we can expect an update?

Do you know if anyone has opened an SR with this request?

I know we have not, but I don’t know if anyone else has.

I was hopeful that today’s update to the radius server would bring the ldap mod … sadly, no dice.

I will continue to wait patiently.

Ignore me … I just found that it is a separate package. I am one happy person!

Thanks Simon!

EDIT: I needed to install the [FONT=Courier New]freeradius-server-ldap[/FONT] package and all is well with the world.
