In the spirit of your past messages, I will highlight key words: I was referring to outside CONSULTING for setting up FREERADIUS. I was NOT referring to other COMMERCIAL RADIUS servers. As I pointed out in my last message, I suggest you read RADIUS published by O'REILLY.

The documentation included with the server describes how to do this. But it doesn't tell you exactly how to set up your local network, that would be dumb (and impossible).

You can do both, but I wasn't sucessfull on specifying more parameters than a username, password and calling-station-id on mysql. For instance, simultaneous-login do not work here when set on mysql, so I set it on users file, inspite the fact that all users are inside mysql. And no one on this list ever answer when I ask why. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html

RE: New to freeradius
Brad, With the current provided schema for MySQL the structe is set up in such a way that users are set up in groups and as individual entities. You can pass back attributes based upon the group and based upon the user itself. I have no doubt that if you are somewhat profficient in SQL you will be able to very easily implement your solution using FreeRADIUS and MySQL. For more information on using MySQL with FreeRADIUS check out: http://www.frontios.com/freeradius.html Please note that this website isn't comprehensive, but provides a good starting point. The most knowledge will come from setting it up and seeing how it works.

Re: New to freeradius
Hello all, I currently use Cistron RADIUS, but I'm considering seriously switching to Freeradius very soon... I had a quick question, though... Was wondering if someone knew the answer... 95% of our users are regular dialup users, and all use the same fall-through settings. The other 5% however have custom stuff done... Timeout values changed, simultaneous logins changed, static IP's, and the like... I'm not sure what the best way to put them in the database is, and for the time being, I would like to authenticate against the mysql database for the 95% of the people who use the defaults, while still using our other raddb files for the other 5%. Is it possible to use both mysql authentication and the flat text files present in cistron (and offsprings)? Or better yet, is there a way to specify different sets of fall-throughs based on username in the mysql schema? Thanks, Brad - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
