shadow password expiration does not work in freeradius 2.1.10
Last modified: 2012-11-21 17:36:39 EST
Description of problem: With freeradius configured with 'unix' module to use shadow passwords, password expire field is ignored. Also account expire field gives wrong debug info. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): freeradius-2.1.10-5.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: Add testuser with expired passwd: testuser:xxxxxxxxxxx:1551:0:180:7::: check that user still gets logged in to radius service Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: user is logged in Expected results: user is not logged in, password expired written to log. Additional info: In cistron radius shadow check is like this: /* * Check if password has expired. */ if (spwd && spwd->sp_lstchg >= 0 && spwd->sp_max >= 0 && (time(NULL) / 86400) > (spwd->sp_lstchg + spwd->sp_max)) { log(L_AUTH, "unix_pass: [%s]: password has expired", name); return -1; } /* * Check if account has expired. */ if (spwd && spwd->sp_expire >= 0 && (time(NULL) / 86400) > spwd->sp_expire) { log(L_AUTH, "unix_pass: [%s]: account has expired", name); return -1; } In freeradus only expire field is tested, and wrong debug info printed: /* * Check if password has expired. */ if (spwd && spwd->sp_expire > 0 && (request->timestamp / 86400) > spwd->sp_expire) { radlog_request(L_AUTH, 0, request, "[%s]: password has expired", name); return RLM_MODULE_REJECT; } Should read "account is expired" because password expire status is not tested.

Created attachment 533539 [details] patch to add password expire check to unix module Patch to add password expire check to unix module and change log entry for account expire to "account has expired".
Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: Cause: password expiration field for local passwords not checked by the unix module and debug information is erroneous. Consequence: A user with an expired password in the local password file will be authenticated despite having an expired password. Fix: Modify the source code to check the expiration and to accurately log the information in the radius log file. Result: A user with an expired local password is denied access and correct debugging information is written to the log file.
