multifactor-radius-adapter

Also available in other languages: Русский

multifactor-radius-adapter is a RADIUS server for Linux. It allows you to quickly add multifactor authentication through RADIUS protocol to your VPN, VDI, RDP, and other resources.

The component is a part of MultiFactor 2FA hybrid solution.

See documentation at https://multifactor.pro/docs/radius-adapter/linux/ for additional guidance on integrating 2FA through RADIUS into your infrastructure.

Windows version of the component is available in our MultiFactor.Radius.Adapter repository.

Background

Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) — is a networking protocol primarily used for remote user authentication.

The protocol has been around for a long time and is supported by major network devices and services vendors.

Component Features

Key features:

  1. Receive authentication requests through the RADIUS protocol;
  2. Verify the first authentication factor — user login and password in Active Directory (AD) or Network Policy Server (NPS);
  3. Verify the second authentication factor on the user's secondary device (usually, mobile phone).

Additional features:

  • Inline enrollment within VPN/VDI client;
  • Conditional access based on the user's group membership in Active Directory;
  • Activate second factor selectively based on the user's group membership in Active Directory;
  • Use user's phone number from Active Directory profile for one-time SMS passcodes;
  • Configure RADIUS response attributes based on user's Active Directory group membership;
  • Proxy Network Policy Server requests and responses.

Prerequisites

  • Component is installed on a Linux server, tested on CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian;
  • Minimum server requirements: 1 CPU, 2 GB RAM, 8 GB HDD (to run the OS and adapter for 100 simultaneous connections — approximately 1500 users);
  • Port 1812 (UDP) must be open on the server to receive requests from Radius clients;
  • The server with the component installed needs access to api.multifactor.ru via TCP port 443 (TLS) directly or via HTTP proxy;
  • To interact with Active Directory, the component needs access to the domain server via TCP port 389 (LDAP scheme) or 636 (LDAPS scheme);
  • To interact with the Network Policy Server, the component needs access to NPS via UDP port 1812.

Configuration

The component's parameters are stored in /opt/multifactor/radius/multifactor-radius-adapter.dll.config in XML format.

General Parameters

<!-- The address and port (UDP) on which the adapter will receive authentication requests from clients -->
<!-- If you specify 0.0.0.0, then the adapter will listen on all network interfaces -->
<add key="adapter-server-endpoint" value="0.0.0.0:1812"/>

<!-- Shared secret to authenticate RADIUS clients -->
<add key="radius-shared-secret" value=""/>

<!-- How to check the first factor: Active Directory, RADIUS or None (do not check) -->
<add key="first-factor-authentication-source" value="ActiveDirectory"/>

<!-- Multifactor API address -->
<add key="multifactor-api-url" value="https://api.multifactor.ru"/>
<!-- NAS-Identifier parameter to connect to the Multifactor API (found in user profile) -->
<add key="multifactor-nas-identifier" value=""/>
<!-- Shared Secret parameter to connect to the Multifactor API (found in user profile) -->
<add key="multifactor-shared-secret" value=""/>

<!-- Use this option to access the Multifactor API via HTTP proxy (optional)-->
<!--add key="multifactor-api-proxy" value="http://proxy:3128"/-->

<!-- Logging level: 'Debug', 'Info', 'Warn', 'Error' -->
<add key="logging-level" value="Debug"/>

Active Directory Connection Parameters

To check the first factor in the Active Directory domain, the following parameters apply:

<!--ActiveDirectory authentication settings: for example domain.local on host 10.0.0.4 -->
<add key="active-directory-domain" value="ldaps://10.0.0.4/DC=domain,DC=local"/>

<!--Give access to users from specified group only (not checked if setting is removed)-->
<add key="active-directory-group" value="VPN Users"/>
<!--Require the second factor for users from a specified group only (second factor is required for users if the setting is removed)-->
<add key="active-directory-2fa-group" value="2FA Users"/>

<!--add key="use-active-directory-user-phone" value="true"/-->
<!--add key="use-active-directory-mobile-user-phone" value="true"/-->

When the use-active-directory-user-phone option is enabled, the component will use the phone recorded in the General tab. The format of the phone can be anything.

When the use-active-directory-mobile-user-phone option is enabled, the component will use the phone recorded in the Telephones tab in the Mobile field. The format of the phone can also be any format.

External RADIUS Server Connection

<!--Address (UDP) from which the adapter will connect to the server -->
<add key="adapter-client-endpoint" value="192.168.0.1"/>
<!--Server address and port (UDP) -->
<add key="nps-server-endpoint" value="192.168.0.10:1812"/>

Optional RADIUS Attributes

You can specify attributes the component will pass further upon successful authentication, including verification that the user is a member of a security group.

<RadiusReply>
    <Attributes>
        <!--This is an example, any attributes can be used-->
        <add name="Class" value="Super" />
        <add name="Fortinet-Group-Name" value="Users" when="UserGroup=VPN Users"/>
        <add name="Fortinet-Group-Name" value="Admins" when="UserGroup=VPN Admins"/>
    </Attributes>
</RadiusReply>

Start-Up

After configuring the configuration, run the component:

$ sudo systemctl start multifactor-radius

You can check the status with the command:

$ sudo systemctl status multifactor-radius

Logs

The logs of the component are located in the /opt/multifactor/radius/logs folder as well as in the system log.

Limitations of Active Directory Integration

  • The Linux version of the Adapter can't yet handle multiple domains with trust established between them;
  • A simple user's password authentication is used with Active Directory. We strongly recommend using the LDAPS scheme to encrypt traffic between the adapter and the domain (AD server must have a certificate installed, including a self-signed one).

Use Cases

Use Radius Adapter Component to implement 2FA in one of the following scenarios:
