Basic RADIUS Server for node.js for Google LDAP Service and WPA2 Enteprise WLAN Authentification.

• supports LDAP Authentification Backend
• supports WPA2 Entprise (TTLS over PAP)

Protect your WIFI access with a username and password by a credential provider you already use!

Authenticiation tested with Windows, Linux, Android and Apple devices.

Known Issues / Disclaimer

This is a first implementation, which is currently only working with node js nightly (node 13+) (see https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/31814).

• MD5 Challenge not implenented, but RFC says this is mandatory ;-)
• Inner Tunnel does not act differently, even though spec says that EAP-message are not allowed to get fragmented, this is not a problem right now, as the messages of the inner tunnel are small enough, but it could be a bug in the future. ways to approach this: refactor that the inner tunnel can set max fragment size, or rebuild eap fragments in ttls after inner tunnel response

CONTRIBUTIONS WELCOME! If you are willing to help, just open a PR or contact me via bug system or simon.tretter@hokify.com.

Motivation

Why not Freeradius?

There are several reasons why I started implementing this radius server in node js. We are using freeradius right now, but have several issues which are hard to tackle due to the reason that freeradius is a complex software and supports many uses cases. It is also written in C++ and uses threads behind the scene. Therefore it's not easy to extend or modify it, or even bring new feature in. The idea of this project is to make a super simple node radius server, which is async by default. No complex thread handling, no other fancy thing. The basic goal is to make WPA2 authenticiation easy again.

802.11x protocol in node

Another motivation is that it is very exciting to see how wireless protocols have evolved, and see how a implementation like TTLS works.

Few alternatives (only non-free ones like Jumpcloud...)

Furthermore there are few alternatives out there, e.g. jumpcloud is non-free and I couldn't find many others.

Vision

As soon as I understood the TTLS PAP Tunnel approach, I had this vision of making Wlan Authentification easy for everyone. Why limit it to something "complex" like LDAP and co. This library aims to make it easy for everyone to implement either their own authentication mechanismus (e.g. against a database), or provides some mechansimns out of the box (e.g. imap, static, ldap,..).

Installation

npm install
npm run build

Introduction

This app provides a radius server to authenticate against google's SLDAP service. To get this running you need:

1. Running LDAP Service (E.g. Google Suite Enterprise or Gloud Identity Premium)
2. Optional: Create your own SSL certificate (e.g. self signed via npm run create-certificate)
3. Check config.js and adapt to your needs

• configure authentication: set authenticaiton to one of the provided authenticators.

var config = {
	// ....
	authentication: 'GoogleLDAPAuth',
	authenticationOptions: {
		base: 'dc=hokify,dc=com'
	}
};

• set radius secret

4. Install und build server: npm install && npm run build
5. Start server "npm run start"

Configuration

see config.js in root

Authentications

Google LDAP

google ldap optimized authenticiation implementaiton

interface IGoogleLDAPAuthOptions {
	/** base DN
	 *  e.g. 'dc=hokify,dc=com', */
	base: string;
	/** tls options
	 * e.g. {
			key: fs.readFileSync('ldap.gsuite.hokify.com.40567.key'),
			cert: fs.readFileSync('ldap.gsuite.hokify.com.40567.crt')
		} */
	tlsOptions: tls.TlsOptions;
}

Example

c = {
	// GoogleLDAPAuth (optimized for google auth)
	authentication: 'GoogleLDAPAuth',
	authenticationOptions: {
		base: 'dc=hokify,dc=com',
		tlsOptions: {
			key: fs.readFileSync('ldap.gsuite.hokify.com.40567.key'),
			cert: fs.readFileSync('ldap.gsuite.hokify.com.40567.crt')
		}
	}
};

LDAP

ldap authentication

interface ILDAPAuthOptions {
	/** ldap url
	 * e.g. ldaps://ldap.google.com
	 */
	url: string;
	/** base DN
	 *  e.g. 'dc=hokify,dc=com', */
	base: string;
	/** tls options
	 * e.g. {
			key: fs.readFileSync('ldap.gsuite.hokify.com.40567.key'),
			cert: fs.readFileSync('ldap.gsuite.hokify.com.40567.crt'),
			servername: 'ldap.google.com'
		} */
	tlsOptions?: any;
	/**
	 * searchFilter
	 */
	searchFilter?: string;
}

Example

c = {
	authentication: 'LDAPAuth',
	authenticationOptions: {
		url: 'ldaps://ldap.google.com',
		base: 'dc=hokify,dc=com',
		tlsOptions: {
			key: fs.readFileSync('ldap.gsuite.hokify.com.40567.key'),
			cert: fs.readFileSync('ldap.gsuite.hokify.com.40567.crt'),
			servername: 'ldap.google.com'
		}
	}
};

IMAP

imap authenticiation

interface IIMAPAuthOptions {
	host: string;
	port?: number;
	useSecureTransport?: boolean;
	validHosts?: string[];
}

Example

c = {
	authentication: 'IMAPAuth',
	authenticationOptions: {
		host: 'imap.gmail.com',
		port: 993,
		useSecureTransport: true,
		validHosts: ['hokify.com']
	}
};

SMTP

smtp authenticiation

interface ISMTPAuthOptions {
	host: string;
	port?: number;
	useSecureTransport?: boolean;
	validHosts?: string[];
}

Example

c = {
	authentication: 'IMAPAuth',
	authenticationOptions: {
		host: 'smtp.gmail.com',
		port: 465,
		useSecureTransport: true,
		validHosts: ['gmail.com']
	}
};

Static Auth

static authenticiation

interface IStaticAuthOtions {
	validCrentials: {
		username: string;
		password: string;
	}[];
}

	authenticationOptions: {
		validCredentials: [
			{ username: 'test', password: 'pwd' },
			{ username: 'user1', password: 'password' },
			{ username: 'admin', password: 'cool' }
		]
