freeradius + ldap help getting started

[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

Please notice that I'm not familiar with ldap ...
