Introduction

Chillispot is software which provides authentication and restricted network access to clients. Its primary use is in wireless (WiFi) networks.

For instance, suppose you are managing a wireless network in a hotel: the access points are connected via the wired LAN to a server which works as a gateway, firewall, DNS server, etc. Now you want the same server (either because it's desirable or because it's required by your nation's law) to require authentication from all clients, possibly without messing around with the configuration of the access points. And maybe you even want users to be able to browse some sites (i.e. an internal web server or the hotel web site) without the need to authenticate themselves. Chillispot lets you manage all of this, and some more.

Please take a look at the [WWW] Chillispot web site to see how the software works. In a few words, Chillispot creates a virtual private network (192.168.182.0/24, but you can change this default setting) which it uses to dialogate with the clients and to decide who and how to let to see the outside network. Chillispot manages the allocation of dynamic IP addresses to clients, so you don't need other DHCP tools.

Notes

The ip address number 192.168.1.73, which you'll find in this document, refers to the PC where you run chillispot, then modify it with the ip address of YOUR local machine. Remember you have to DISABLE DHCP if enabled on your router.

Requirements

The following software is required for this installation:

Apache 1.x and MySql 4.0.x or even 3.23.x would probably do, but the above specified versions are the latest stable ones available so you're encouraged to stick to them.

This tutorial will show how to run all this software on a single machine. However, you could install Apache and MySQL on a separate one, or even have 4 different machines: you'll just need to adjust the configuration parameters of each piece of software.

Also, you'll need your kernel configured for generic tunneling support (and for NAT probably but that will not be covered here). A 2.6.x kernel version is recommended.

Caveats

This HOWTO presumes you have an x86 machine. This is not going to work on AMD64, because both Chillispot and FreeRadius have bugs which prevent them to work as they should. I don't know the status of these softwares on other platforms.

Kernel configuration

Chillispot create a VPN, that is to say an IP tunnel. Your kernel must support this: if you're using software such as OpenVPN chances are you're already fine. Anyhow, take a look at the following section in your kernel configuration (run the command 'modconf'): Linux Kernel Configuration: TUN/TAP support

Kernel/drivers/net --->

You can either compile the TUN/TAP support inside the kernel or (as is this example) build it as a module. The name of the module will be tun.

You'll probably also need to enable IP masquerading, NAT or what is necessary in order to let the VPN clients surf the outside network. If you're reading this HOWTO it's likely that you already know all of this; if not, look around for specific documentation.

Installing the software

Apache and MySQL

I assume you already installed Apache and MySQL, or - if not - that you are able to do that. If this is not the case, there are plenty of tutorial out there on how to accomplish these tasks.

The only important thing to do is to enable SSL features for apache. (See Apache SSL section below)

Chillispot

Download it from [WWW] http://www.chillispot.org/download.html.

FreeRadius

You can install it from repos: sudo apt-get install freeradius

Chillispot configuration

Chillispot configuration resides in a single file, which is /etc/chilli.conf. For a single server configuration something in the shape of this will do:

radiusserver1 127.0.0.1

radiusserver2 127.0.0.1

radiussecret theradiussecret

dns1 192.168.1.73

dhcpif eth0

uamallowed 192.168.182.1,192.168.1.73,www.google.it

uamserver [WWW] https://192.168.1.73/cgi-bin/hotspotlogin.cgi

uamhomepage [WWW] https://192.168.1.73/welcome.html

uamsecret theuamsecret

Let's discuss the file in detail.

Radius section

radiusserver1 127.0.0.1

radiusserver2 127.0.0.1

radiussecret theradiussecret

You need to specify two radius servers even if you only have one. Of course, you can enter the same server in both lines. In this case it's localhost, as FreeRadius is on the same machine of Chillispot.

radiussecret theradiussecret

The radiussecret directive contains a (secret) word which must match the one contained in the FreeRadius configuration file. This secret ensures we are allowed to make queries to the radius server. We'll se the radius configuration part later on.

Networking section

dns1 192.168.1.73

You need to specify the IP address of the DNS server, which will be told to clients as well. The local machine's one will be fine if the machine operates a DNS service, otherwise enter another one such as you provider's.

dhcpif eth0

The interface to be specified is the one where the access points reside, which should be already configured with the working access points. Be sure to disable any DHCP server bound to that interface, as Chillispot doesn't want one.

UAM section

uamallowed 192.168.182.1,192.168.1.73,www.google.it

The above line states which hosts the clients are allowed to connect without requring authentication. You must enter the IP address of the gateway (both the VPN address and the LAN address - This is very important! In fact, you must list at least these two addresses here, otherwise the chillispot will not work!), the IP address of the DNS server (if it's on another machine) and any other hosts you want.

uamserver [WWW] https://192.168.1.73/cgi-bin/hotspotlogin.cgi

This is the (secure) URL of the script which displays the login interface and manages the login. We'll discuss this further in the Apache configuration section.

uamhomepage [WWW] https://192.168.1.73/welcome.html

This is the page where all clients will be redirected when they try to surf a web site which is not in the uamallowed list. This is quite handy, as you don't need to provide login URLs to your users: their browser gets automatically redirected here. The contents of this file are very customizable (you can provide a full featured web page with information and the login link), and also this will be discussed later on while talking of Apache configuration.

uamsecret theuamsecret

This is the shared secret between chillispot and hostspotlogin.cgi, which ensures that the CGI script is allowed to talk to Chillispot. It's different than the radius secret, but you can also set them all alike (not recommended, of course).

Apache configuration

Apache (or any other webserver you like) handles the welcome page and the login requests, and therefore requires a bit of configuration.

As told before, SSL support is required by Chillispot (if you don't have it, the login manager will complain and not work). When dealing with usernames and password and encryped connection is a good idea to use SSL in any case. See section below.

At this point there are several options. What I did was to setup a virtual host bound to [WWW] http://192.168.1.73/, which is also the content of uamhomepage variable in /etc/chilli.conf. As I wrote before, this page can contain anything you want the user to see before loggin in (information about your place, your network, the rules, ...), but in any case it should also feature a link to Chillispot server "prelogin" page . That is to say, in it's basic form the index.html file of your web site has to be:

<a href="[WWW] http://192.168.182.1:3990/prelogin">Click here to login</a>

The Chillispot server bound to port 3990 will redirect the browser to whatever you specified in the uamserver line of /etc/chilli.conf. In this case it's:

[WWW] https://192.168.1.73/cgi-bin/hotspotlogin.cgi

The hotspotlogin.cgi manages the actual login. The good thing is that you don't have to write it from scratch. Just type in:

This presumes your Apache is configured to run cgi-scripts of course.

There's only one change needed for hotspotlogin.cgi: locate the $uamsecret assignement at the top of the file and set it to the value of uamsecret in /etc/chilli.conf. In our example:

You can then edit this file at your pleasure to customize the appearence of the login screen.

FreeRadius configuration

Authentication

FreeRadius is a complex piece of software but (luckily) the features needed for a basic or even common setup are a few, and therefore also the configuration is fairly straightforward. Remeber you can only use root user, not sudo, to modify these files. The first file to look into is /etc/freeradius/clients.conf. You need to have something like this into it:

client 127.0.0.1 {

}

There should already be a client 127.0.0.1 section uncommented, so you may just need to edit that one. If you're not connecting from localhost you can vary the IP address accordingly, or even specify a class: the comments in the file explain everything.

The next file to edit is /etc/freeradius/sql.conf. It is already preconfigured for MySQL, but you can change it to work with Postgres, Oracle or MS-SQL. The other options are fairly intuitive, in the sense that you only have to specify the login data for the MySQL server and database. You can leave the remaining settings alone. In my example I have:

# Connect info server = "localhost" login = "freeradius" password = "mysuperpassword"

# Database table configuration radius_db = "radius"

Difficult, huh?

The last file which requires some modification is /etc/freeradius/radiusd.conf. Browse the file, look for the sql directive in the authorize section, and uncomment it: this is needed in order to have FreeRadius use the SQL module for authentication.

Be sure to restart FreeRadius after these changes

Accounting

FreeRadius comes already preconfigured for accounting, and it stores that information in files under the /var/log/radius/radacct directory. However. you might want to configure it to use MySQL instead of files for accounting also. To accomplish this task look for the accounting section in /etc/freeradius/radiusd.conf. It should be configured like this:

accounting {

}

(I stripped all the commented out stuff)

I only made two changes:

MySQL configuration

FreeRadius requires a MySQL database with a predefinied structure where to look for user/password pairs and (if desired) store accounting information. Log into the MySQL client with root privildges and launch the following commands, or a variation of them which suits your needs:

> CREATE DATABASE radius;

> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON radius.* to 'freeradius'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mysuperpassword';

> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Then import the SQL schema:

zcat /usr/share/doc/freeradius/examples/db_mysql.sql.gz ! mysql -ufreeradius -pmysuperpassword radius

If this way doesn't work for you, just import the above file through phpmyadmin.

As you will see, this creates several tables. You probably just need to use one of those: radcheck. This table has the following structure:

The id is auto-incremented and op defaults to the correct value, so you just need to enter the other fields in this fashion:

> INSERT INTO radcheck (UserName, Attribute, Value) VALUES ('aika', 'User-Password', 'myaikapassword');

That should be enough. You can then use whatever client or interface you want to populate the users database.

Firewall configuration (easy way)

you also might need this (I'm not sure)

Firewall configuration (difficult way) [to be skipped if you followed the easy way]

Note: Type all the following commands in a root terminal, DO NOT use sudo.

The services you're going to use require you to open a few ports on your firewall. This HOWTO assumes you have already protected your computer somehow, and therefore only lists the changes you need to do.

You basically need to do the following:

This can change very much depending on your configuration, but if you stick to this example that's it. You'll probably also want to configure NAT at this point.

In order to enable packet forwarding you should change the following line in /etc/network/options:

Then you have to restart networking:

where ethX is the network card and ip is your desired server ip address (Usually 192.168.0.1 is used)

where ethX is the network card that the Internet is coming from

Apache2 SSL

This guide will help you setup SSL with apache2.

Generate the certificate

If you are running a 7.07 distribution you may execute the folowing command. 

sudo make-ssl-cert /usr/share/ssl-cert/ssleay.cnf /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem

Other whise, if you have apache2-ssl-certificate, create a certificate which are valid for a year. 

sudo apache2-ssl-certificate -days 365

Enable the SSL module

sudo a2enmod ssl

Listen to port 443

sudo bash
echo "Listen 443" >> /etc/apache2/ports.conf

Create and enable the SSL site

sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/default /etc/apache2/sites-available/ssl

Modify it so it looks something like this 

NameVirtualHost *:443
<virtualhost *:443>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

        SSLEngine On
        SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem

phpMyPrepaid and MySQL

Get phpMyPrepaid here: [WWW] ftp://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/download.sourceforge.net/pub/sourceforge/p/ph/phpmyprepaid/phpMyPrepaid.0.1.3RC1.tar

(NOTE: There is a newer version available from [WWW] http://www.chillispot.org/patch/ . Checkout the Chillispot forums for discussion -SW)

Some files need to be adjusted, but it's just a question of links. Read the INSTALL file.

You need to download freeradius_1.1.0~pre0~cvs20051129-0-JM-2_i386.deb and freeradius-mysql_1.1.0~pre0~cvs20051129-0-JM-2_i386.deb (NOTE: these have been superseded. See my notes below on how to backport these from Dapper yourself -SW)

  1. under the "$INCLUDE ${confdir}/sql.conf" add:

    • sqlcounter noresetcounter {

      • counter-name = Max-All-Session-Time

        check-name = Max-All-Session

        sqlmod-inst = sql

        key = User-Name

        reset = never

        query = "SELECT SUM(AcctSessionTime) FROM radacct where UserName='%{%k}'"

        }

  2. "instantiate" section must be as follow:

    • instantiate {

      • exec

        expr

        noresetcounter

        }

  3. "authorize" section must be as follow:

    • authorize {

      • preprocess

        chap

        mschap

        suffix

        sql

        noresetcounter

        }

Rough instructions for PHPMyPrepaid:

Extract the phpMyPrepaid file to a directory on your webserver eg /var/www/html/myprepaid Edit the dbconnect.php file in the phpMyPrepaid directory and enter the username and password for your MySQL radius database. IMPORTANT Save this file behind your web directory or your passwords will be easy to hack. Edit config.inc.php and change the line that points to dbconnect to wherever you have saved dbconnect.php In your web browser got to [WWW] http://yoursite.com/whereveryouputphpmyprepaid/ and create some tickets. Check your database to see if the users have been setup in radcheck. Launch FreeRadius as root with this command radiusd -xxyx -l stdout. Pick a user and password from your database and try to login from a wireless client.

Tips

  1. Idle-Timeout: Time after which the user is disconnected if not browsing.[useful if the user forget to logout correctly]

  2. Session-Timeout: Time after which the user is disconnected. However he can reconnect if has some time left.

Hotspotlogin.php

This file is an easier to be modified substitute for hotspotlogin.cgi. Change the uamsecret password, put it in /var/www and change chilli.conf as follow:

Replace "uamserver [WWW] https://192.168.1.73/cgi-bin/hotspotlogin.cgi"

"uamserver [WWW] http://192.168.1.73/hotspotlogin.php"

Backporting FreeRadius to Breezy from Dapper

I know Dapper is nearly here but I needed to deply this now (2006-03-09)! Of course, the version numbers shown were correct at the time of printing, they may change when Dapper is released.

Backporting yourself is preferred to installing binary packages from unknown/untrusted sources. Not to cast any doubt on the source that was listed but I have no idea who they are, do you? Backporting from Dapper gives you the benefit of knowing that the package configuration conforms to the Ubuntu guidelines and you know that no changes have been to the source code from the Ubuntu repositiories. It sounds daunting but the steps are fairly straight forward.

I would start freeradius before you upgrade or you'll get errors later when the restart commands fail!

Start by adding the Dapper source repositories to your /etc/apt/sources.list. Simply replace deb with deb-src in your favourite mirror entries eg 

deb-src http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper main restricted universe

Make a directory to build the new packages in and cd to it.

To ensure you have all the build dependencies execute: 

$ sudo apt-get build-dep freeradius debhelper lsb

The first thing to do is upgrade debhelper: 

$ fakeroot apt-get -b source debhelper
$ sudo dpkg -i debhelper_5.0.7ubuntu4_all.deb

then you have to upgrade lsb-base (you only need lsb-base, if you try and install lsb you'll get a whopping numberof packages upgraded): 

$ fakeroot apt-get -b source lsb
$ sudo dpkg -i lsb-base_3.0-12ubuntu3_all.deb

Finally, you can build and install freeradius 1.1 

$ fakeroot apt-get -b source freeradius
$ sudo dpkg -i freeradius_1.1.0-1_i386.deb freeradius-mysql_1.1.0-1_i386.deb

If that's successful continue on with Gabriele's great HOWTO...

If you run into any problems, try using the command "sudo apt-get -f install" which will try and install any packages that are required.

If you think anything should be clarified feel free to drop me an email.

Good luck, SimonWong.
