Configure the FreeRADIUS serverįreeRADIUS is the software par excellence to configure a RADIUS server with very advanced options, this software has support for different types of authentication and it works really well. A very important feature is that it is compatible with any operating system, which is essential for maximum compatibility.Ĭonfiguring this server is very complex, you have to configure configuration files in an advanced way, create a certificate authority and more. If we use a NAS server like the QNAP, it will greatly facilitate the task of not having to configure a server on a computer, on a Linux-based server or on a Raspberry Pi. All QNAP NAS servers support the ability to easily and quickly configure a server.Īll we have to do is go to the section ” Control Panel / Applications / RADIUS Server “. Once inside, what we have to do is enable the server and allow access to the system’s user accounts, although the latter is optional and not necessary. Once we have correctly configured the NAS or the router so that the NAS server never changes its IP address, we are going to configure the server. In this way, we will force this NAS server to never change its private IP address, which is very important for everything to work properly. Configure the router’s static DHCP, and set a static IP address at all times.The first thing we must do is locate the NAS server on the network, it is very important to know its private IP address, because in the configuration of the wireless network we will have to enter this IP address to authenticate the wireless clients. It is highly recommended that this private IP address never changes, therefore, we have two possible options: Locate and configure the IP of the NAS that will have the RADIUS server Normally in our homes we use WPA2-Personal or WPA3-Personal security, this type of security consists of configuring a “master” key that all wireless clients will use, this key is called a pre-shared key, and all clients who want to connect must know it and put it on your devices to connect. In many home routers we have the possibility of configuring WPA2-Enterprise or WPA3-Enterprise, in this case, authentication is done through username and password, and it is necessary to use a RADIUS server to authenticate clients. Today in RedesZone we are going to show you how we could configure WPA2 / WPA3-Enterprise in any router using a NAS for the authentication of Wi-Fi clients.
