Embedded Radius Server in Keycloak SSO

[]

Run radius server inside keycloak. features:

• Embedded radius server in keycloak
• use keycloak authentication and authorization for the embedded RADIUS server
• radius oidc password
• webAuthn authentication. Radius Authentication using your fingerprint or FIDO2 security key
• radius OTP password (TOTP/HOTP via Google Authenticator or FreeOTP)
• use Keycloak user credentials, if radius access-request protocol is PAP Otherwise is using Keycloak Radius credentials or OTP
• use Kerberos/ldap credentials(only if Radius client use PAP authorization)
• can work as radius proxy
• support Radsec Protocol (Radius over TLS)
• Map Keycloak authorization , Role, Group and User Attributes to Radius Attributes
• conditional attributes for authorization/Role/Group/User
• reject attribute for authorization/Role/Group/User
• dynamically assign attributes based on keycloak policies(Role, javascript, Time, User)
• start/stop Keycloak Session
• BackChannel logout(Disconnect-message request)
• Service to Service communication
• Mikrotik plugin
• Cisco plugin (thanks vbkunin)
• Chillispot plugin
• Social Hotspot Login
• PPTP VPN with Radsec
• L2TP IPSec VPN with Radius and Radsec
• Specify Realm in username: username@realm
• support docker arm64 and arm/v7

Examples

• Assign attributes dynamically using javascript policy
• Reject and Accept by condition example
• Radius and OIDC integration example
• OTP Password example
• Ldap Password with OTP example
• Default Realm example(if the radius client does not support realm attribute)
• An example of a call from backend service to radius using a service account (Service to Service communication)
• WebAuthn authentication. Radius Authentication using your fingerprint or FIDO2 security key

where

• KEYCLOAK_PATH - Path where you are unpacked keycloak-21.0.0.zip (you can use RADIUS_CONFIG_PATH instead of KEYCLOAK_PATH)
• SOURCE - Path where you checked out the code and built the project

Environment Variables

Variable Name	Variable Value	Config file Location
KEYCLOAK_PATH	Path where you are unpacked keycloak	${KEYCLOAK_PATH}/config/radius.config
RADIUS_CONFIG_PATH	Path where you store radius.config	${RADIUS_CONFIG_PATH}/radius.config

Examples:

export RADIUS_CONFIG_PATH= /opt/keycloak/radius/config

or

export KEYCLOAK_PATH= /opt/keycloak/

Configuration

Radius server config file

• create file ${KEYCLOAK_PATH}config/radius.config or ${RADIUS_CONFIG_PATH}/radius.config

• example

  {
  "sharedSecret": "radsec",
  "authPort": 1812,
  "accountPort": 1813,
  "numberThreads": 8,

Keycloak Radius credentials

• Setup Radius Credentials during first time login
  1. set Action "Update Radius Password" (or send this event to user be email)
  2. User sets his own Radius password

Otp Password

1. enable Otp Password on Keycloak side. https://www.keycloak.org/docs/latest/server_admin/
2. password in request must contain the password and otp.
3. Structure Password in request:
   • PAP password: <Keycloak Password/RADIUS Password><OTP> example: testPassword123456, where testPassword is password, 123456 is otp
   • MSCHAP/CHAP: <RADIUS Password><OTP> example: testPassword123456, where testPassword is password, 123456 is otp
   • PAP password with Otp (if config file contains "otp":true) : <OTP> example: 123456, where 123456 is otp
