Gday,

I am new to Freeradius, radius, WPA Enterprise, EAP-TLS, etc.


So I created a Docker container with Freeradius 
(https://hub.docker.com/r/freeradius/freeradius-server/) and I was 
looking at this tutorial: 
https://www.freeradius.org/documentation/freeradius-server/4.0.0/tutorials/eap-tls.html

I do note that the tutorial appears to be listed for FreeRadius 4 BUT 
the page itself says that it is not yet updated for 4. So it means it 
applies to version 3???

In that tutorial it refers to three files, ( rlm_eap.so, but also 
rlm_tls_md5.so and rlm_eap_tls.so).

I cannot find rlm_tls_md5.so in the Docker container. Does this mean 
that the docker container as is cannot run WPA-3 EAP-TLS Enterprise? if 
not, is there something I can do to change that?

Can I add files or do I need to download and build freeradius in a 
docker container to make it work?


Extra information in case it is needed:


What you are trying to do:
We are trying to get a WPA-3 Enterprise testing environment up and 
running and we are mostly using what we already have.

We have a Unifi Wireless Access Point, and running UniFi Network 
Controller on a Synology NAS through a Docker environment in Portainer.

FreeRadius is also running in a Docker container in that same Portainer.


why you are trying to do it:
I did originally try Synology Radius and did get that working BUT that 
doesn't support EAP-TLS which is what we are looking for here. And that 
is why I have Switched to FreeRadius which should support EAP-TLS but 
now I am unsure if the Free radius image from Freeradius does support 
EAP-TLS.


what you expect the server to do:
Run EAP-TLS for WPA-3 Enterprise.



Best regards,

Kat
