freeradius + ldap help getting started

2003-02-12 Thread Stella Korakaki
Hi everyone.

My problem is as follows:

I have a radius sw running on a windows machine with microsoft sql 
server for storing the information.
I need to replace this machine with a linux server with freeradius and 
ldap.

I was searching for information in the internet to get familiar with 
ldap and freeradius but still I don't know where to start from. :-(

My first step AFAIK is to export the microsoft sql data into csv format 
and then to create the appropriate ldif creating a small script for this 
job. My problem is that I don't know  how to design the ldif and what 
kind of attributes shall I set. Also, I've seen that freeradius contains 
an ldap schema but I don't know how to use it.

Also, I 've read any doc about freeradius and still I don't know how to 
set it in order to authenticate with the ldap.

Could anyone make all these things clear to me?

Thanx a lot,

Stella

  That's a good choice.

  See the 'testimonials' on the web page.  The Greek School Network
uses that exact configuration.

  I would suggest buying an LDAP book.

  Configuring FreeRADIUS to use LDAP won't be easy if you don't know
how to set up an LDAP database.
