hihanhoesjHello06:48
hihanhoesjAnyone of you ever get {l2,pp}tp to work with a freeradius -> Active Directory without using PAP?06:51
hihanhoesjOr is it just (and less painfull) to cut off my leg with a butter knife?06:52
hihanhoesjs/just/just easier/06:52
nlsthznhihanhoesj: sounds easier to use the knife06:58
nlsthznthen again I have no idea what you said :)06:58
nlsthznI just watched a show on Black Holes... I should stop... it only hurts my head thinking like this and afterwards I feel really stupid because I still don't get it :D06:59
hihanhoesjlol07:00
hihanhoesjI though the knife might be easier...07:00
hihanhoesjMaybe I should try the GLUG-chat list first before I go and fetch the knife...07:01

hihanhoesjHellolol09:47
Kiloslo hihanhoesj 09:47
hihanhoesjmeant to just say lol09:47
Kiloslol09:47
Kilosat least yeah happy09:47
hihanhoesjstill struggling with my VPN stuffs :(09:48
KilosMaaz, define vpn09:50
MaazKilos: VPN Virtual Private Network 09:50
hihanhoesjI see you and Maaz are working together nicely :)09:51
Kiloslol yeah09:52
hihanhoesjAnd I am assuming you dont know much about VPN's :)09:53
Kilosha ha absolutely09:53
Kiloswhats the prob. lets ask maaz09:54
hihanhoesjMaaz would not have the asnwer :)09:54
Kiloshe sometimes gives good links to cures09:54
Kiloshehe09:54
hihanhoesjI have tried google09:54
hihanhoesjin every flavour of the query I can think of...09:55
Kilosi dont like google unless maaz gets me the links09:55
Kiloswhat is the prob hihanhoesj 09:55
hihanhoesjI just need to find someone that has gotten it working already...09:56
hihanhoesjWell the thing is as follows, I have a Linux machine with l2tpns running on it09:56
hihanhoesjl2tpns uses freeradius as an authentication backend09:56
hihanhoesjI have set up freeradius to use Active Directory as its Authentication Source09:57
hihanhoesjif I connect to the l2tp server using cleartext passwords, I can authenticate09:57
hihanhoesjand the VPN connects09:58
hihanhoesjbut I dont want to transmit passwords over the internet in cleartext (due to the obvious reasons)09:58
Kilosyip09:59
hihanhoesjso I am looking into using CHAP/MS-CHAP to encrypt my password, then send it...09:59
hihanhoesjbut then I cant authenticate, becuase Active Directory does not return the password for the user to the radius server09:59
hihanhoesjso the radius server cant match the incomming Hash to what the hash should be10:00
Kiloswhew, how do you get that into a googling seek?10:00
sakhiMaaz: today10:00
Maazsakhi: today is Friday10:00
sakhiwww.sysadminday.com10:01
hihanhoesjwell I basically tried every permutation of "l2tp, freeradius, active directory, chap, mschap, ubuntu" that I could think of :)10:01
hihanhoesjI might just end up builing my own auth backend, and bypass AD all together...10:03
hihanhoesjbut that puts more password strain on the IT Admin...10:03
Kilosand guys like froztbite cant help you?10:04
hihanhoesjthat should read "password _admin_ strain"10:04
Kilosyeah10:04
hihanhoesjwell I only asked for help on here this morning...10:04
Kilosdid you go to #glug.za10:05
hihanhoesjso I thought I would just keep asking every so often, till someone can help :D10:05
hihanhoesjI did send an email to the glug-chat... no reponses so far :)10:05
Kilosyeah dont lose hope. someone somewhere must know a bit about it10:05
Kilosno man go #glug.za here10:06
Kiloswow they have also shrunk this year10:06
hihanhoesjhmm now I just need to figure out how to switch channels is this IRC client :D10:07
