Insight - RADIUS attribute bug - External Captive Portal
Hi, I am from Purple Wifi - we are a Guest WiFi service provider offering external captive portal and RADIUS solutions. We've recently been asked by a customer to integrate our solution with NETGEAR Insight. We've configured the captive portal setting as per https://kb.netgear.com/000066743/How-do-I-set-up-an-Insight-External-Captive-Portal-service and everything is working, except that when the AP makes the RADIUS request to the RADIUS server, it's missing some basic/crucial attributes. We can see the following in the Access-Request: Access-Request Id 0 ens4:51.7.213.100:57854 -> 10.210.63.147:1812 +9.011 User-Name = "2-3599a6f342d645c89d6741386daf936f-form@195dff" User-Password = "..." NAS-IP-Address = 192.168.1.149 NAS-Identifier = "14:59:c0:28:xx:xx" Message-Authenticator = 0xf3df60664dc768f4271309e6651ba6db However, as per RFC 2865, all RADIUS Access and Accounting requests should contain the following attributes also: Called-Station-Id (MAC of the AP) Calling-Station-Id (MAC of the client device) Without this, the RADIUS server cannot look up the AP or the client, to authorize successfully. I realize the NAS-Identifier is the MAC of the AP, but the above attributes should be included as a minimum. Please can this be looked at? Thanks, James
