I recently replaced our RADIUS authentication system with FreeRadius and MySQL for the database back end. It works better than any Windows RADIUS system that I have experienced (and it’s FREE AS IN BEER).

Also, I am using this in conjuction with the new ASN ARA web interface. It works well for viewing accounting information and users online. It is in beta stage, so you may have to do a bit of hacking to get it to your liking.

Attached are my FreeRadius Config and DB structure. I hope they will help anyone that is trying to setup their own FreeRadius/MySQL server. I am currently running FreeRadius v1.1.3 with the default FreeRadius install on openSUSE 10.2.

You will have to replace the following respectively inside of the sql.conf :

login = “uname”
password = “sqlpassword”

I hope this helps and let me know if there are any questions/problems.

    Simon,

    You must be specific when asking for help. With your question, I have to return some of my own:

    1. What OS are you running?

    2. Have you ran the SQL install scripts?

    3. Are you running an ISP, or trying to do something else like wireless authentication?
