In this post, which is the last post in the series on how to import YubiRadius, a Free Radius appliance implementing OTP validation, into Xen Open source Hypervisor, we will finally boot our appliance
Well, if you reached this point you are ready to issue the command:

Create cfg file for your YubiRadius DomU
In this post which is part of the series on how to import YubiRadius, a Free Radius appliance implementing OTP validation, into Xen Open source Hypervisor, we will finally create the .cfg file needed by the Hypervisor to create the virtual machine and boot it
As we saw earlier most of the work is already been done by the Xen.tools, which would already have created the cfg file (more…)
Modify Yubiradius image to boot in Xen
In this post which is part of the series on how to import YubiRadius, a Free Radius appliance implementing OTP validation, into Xen Open source Hypervisor, we will modify the image we have built in order to have all the bits and pieces to correctly boot under Xen Hypervisor environment as a paravirtual domain
The image we created in the previous post would not boot as a Xen paravirtual host, but it would (eventually) boot in a fully virtualized domain. It would be extremely inefficient (more…)
Build the Xen usable .img file
In this post which is part of the series on how to import YubiRadius, a Free Radius appliance implementing OTP validation, into Xen Open source Hypervisor, we will build an .img file containing a filesystem, mount it and then copy the Virtual Appliance files into it
The first step consist in creating a file of the proper size with
dd if=/dev/zero of=/workdir/empty.img bs=516096c count=#cyl
This statement sets (more…)
Extract YubiRadius from VMware image
In this post which is part of the series on how to import YubiRadius, a Free Radius appliance implementing OTP validation, into Xen Open source Hypervisor, we will extract the files from the VMware image and build a .tar file to eventually unpack it in a DomU .img
Yubico distributes its YubiRadius appliance in 2 formats: OVF and VMware. I was able to extract the appliance (more…)
Building a functional DomU with XEN
This post is part of a series of posts on how to import YubiRadius, a Free Radius appliance implementing OTP validation, into Xen Open source Hypervisor.
This first step in our quest to build our authentication server, actually has little to to with YubiRadius but a lot with running a para-virtual guest domain. We will then use the resulting (more…)
