EAP MD5 authentication

[Sudha-2]

Hi List..

I'm trying EAP MD5 authentication using free radius but since MD5 doesn't generate any keys, I'm getting an error message "Failed to generate key".  Generally MD5 is used in the phase2 of TLS or PEAP and that is working fine.  Is it possible to establish EAP MD5 authentication without using, TLS or PEAP. The information in the supplicant.conf file is as:

 

network

{

    ssid=valid session ID

    identity="user"

    password="test"

    key_mgmt=NONE

    eap=MD5

    priority=1

}

 

Do help me in this regard asap, thanks in advance.

If you have included MD5 in your eap.conf, it will work whether other  EAP
types, TLS or PEAP, are the default. The following has always worked for me.
I'm assuming that you are doing this on a wired port and the NAS is
configured properly. From the description of your problem, I am guessing it
is not.

eap {
        default_eap_type = peap
        ignore_unknown_eap_types = no
        md5 {
        }
        .
        .
        .
}
