Will mikrotik RADIUS server (user manager) integrate with a MySQL database?

it will have it's own database i think

bummer.

bummer.

I second that...

I can see us using this for small systems, where we wish to delegate access control to the local administrators. Right now, we set them up with their own Radius/database servers. Or, if small enough, bridge everything back to a single concentrator, and use it's built-in authentication systems. When you are only talking about a few routers, and a few hundred users, it makes sense to cut out the server component.

I don't expect that this would work very well as a replacement for large central Radius systems, though. I'm sure it won't serve as a replacement for our central systems, since we have way too many different (non-MT) devices querying them, and far too many custom attributes.

If you are going to be maintaining external servers anyway, why not directly authenticate off them?

YES!! It's now on the download page kinda hiding atthe bottome.

Humm only problem now is I keep getting in my log when i try to access:

FATAL ERROR: failed to open DB: unable to open database file

Humm

Loaded now how to access?? Please help.
Same message in log.

Anyone from Mikrotik around to give some pointers for install?

I got the same error failed to open DB ,mikrotik guys where r u?

I got the same error failed to open DB ,mikrotik guys where r u?

we'll check why some of you get this error, but basically you should install, go to `tool user-manager`, add something in there and then accesss http://IP/userman

is there any progress on the problem yet or is there anything that we can try on our side?

also where do we setup the user and password for userman or is it useing the same user as MT?

we have put a fixed version online now. please download that. to add a user for the manager, do this `/tool user-manager customer add login=`

Thanks Normis,

The updated version fixed the problem. I am now able to add the user and login to the user manager by web browser.

great! test and report with first impressions

Thanks for the update.

On ie7 I'm getting a "error fetching data!" error but not on ie6.

Also it would be nice to be able to use dinamic address for the routers as we are using DHCP to asign address to them and DDNS to keep track of them.

use a better browser ? ok, if we have a chance to test IE7 somewhere, we will try to fix it.

OK..
I can get it lo load, I can add users, I can print tikets..

but I be Da##ed if I can get a RB500 to query it to auth users.

I just get "RADIUS server is not responding"

NOTE: I refer to the i386 box running usermanager as MASTER and the R500 as slave.

I have added the "slave" to the routers list, enabled radius support in the slave, (main system and in the hotspot profile), I have adjusted the ports on both "master" and "slave" to the same port. I have enabled incoming on the master..

I also tried default setings (no changes on the radius client and no changes on the master) incase the UserManager exposes its own ports and is not controled by the "incoming" settings in radius.

So... I have asked the boys for a "Quickie on the WIKI" on setup and testing of the new user manager package in a "master / slave mode" (if remote auth is ready yet...)

This is going to make RouterOS MUCH more apealing to motel / corp. users !! big time !!

Imagine being able to give access to visitors at your company for a short time and have that access automaticly time out and to be easy to administer to boot..

And yes I want a copyright on "Quickie on the WIKI" ...

how about a total-megabytes field for the users - i want to limited users to say - 10gb a month total upload/download

Also what happens when the user runs out of download/upload - would be nice to be abel to excute a script when they run out of time - so we could alter their queue and change the prority

Can i export my users from a mikrotik hotspot 2.8.28 and import in a 2.9.23 user manager?

Thanks!
Alessio

use a better browser ? ok, if we have a chance to test IE7 somewhere, we will try to fix it.

Normis, can import users from the local hotspot mikrotik database to the usermanager?

Thanks!
Alessio

export the `ip hotspot user` menu, edit the txt file to be compatible with the `tool user-manager` syntax and import there. i hope that you are aware that you can add users not only from web interface, but also from command line?

what about disk requirements? i'm using 32mb CF and have 10 megs free bytes, how many user can it handle before the disk out of space?

At last i managed to see the left side of the user manager page using FIREFOX !!!!
after that i added 3 users as samples , thier IP's already exeist in the DHCP leases table , but , no active users in the list ???
all the users who already were connected they dissconnected !!!!!
hardly , and deadly tries after tries the connect again after disabling the user-manager package , uninstalling it !!!!! could anybody tell me why ???? how can i really use this package ?? how could any client connect to my router when this package is active and the client details are exist in it ..

Thanks for the radius manager i had been testing it with my office building and it working well but i want to ask one question that is if it possible to fix bandwidth rate per user, and also like add calendar, so that when creating a user to set the date his subscription will expire thanks

yes, it is possible. test a little more, and you will see these features for each user that you add.

I have activated PAP authentication in the client machine for my pppoe server . I can login into the pppoe server only if I have a secret into the pppoe profile but user manager doesn't show any usage for that account . And if I add any customer from the web interface of user manager then I can't even login into the user manager with the newly created customer login name. But if I create any user from the command line then I can login from the web interface. I don't know what am I missing . I have ticked to use radius into the pppoe profile and also ticked to accept request from the radius . I have used the router local ip 10.0.0.1 and also with the public ip and the secret correctly and have also tried with the 127.0.0.1 IP. Then what am I missing . .

I hope I have created user correctly ....

My pppoe server and the usermanager is running on the same machine . Then what the hell am I missing??????

Can anybody please help me out to get it done ???????????????????????

I will be waiting to hear from somebody ….

Please post the user-manager configuration and the logs.
*Radius client configuration
*User manager configuration
*Logs from the user manager and from the router itself when you try to login using pppoe using pap.

here is MT oS settings

Anyone from Mikrotik around to give some pointers for install?

Thanks for the radius manager i had been testing it with my office building and it working well but i want to ask one question that is if it possible to fix bandwidth rate per user, and also like add calendar, so that when creating a user to set the date his subscription will expire thanks

Normiss,Uldiss,
Kindly come to the aid of your valued users... post a sweet reply on how to use the usermanager and lets all be happy...we cant know it all like u do... we want to be able to use usermanager as a perfect billing option.

what exactly is the problem? download package, install package, go to `tools user-manager` and add a user in `tool user-manager customer add login=admin password=admin`, then go to http://IPADDRESS//userman and log in with `admin/admin`

Great, yes we have all done that.. i have even printed some tickets of 1hr duration, but each time a customer gets to my hotspot login page and enters the password and esername generated on the ticket, he gets an error message.. invalid username... Thats our problem.. some of us are self taught MT users and for us to continue to enjoy MT, you have togive some little guidance and enough encouragement

look at the log files in the 'tool user-manager log' and also check the regular route logs. Have you enabled the Radius support for the hotspot?

Yes we can my yahoo ID is onowojemma@yahoo.com

I just installed 2.9.26 with User Manager for MIPS on an RB532 - have added a user but can't access the web admin page at all.

No problems opening the web page on the X86 version so what is different here?

Is the http service active under "/ip services"?

Best regards,
Christian Meis

If you mean www yes it is. There is no http service per se.
