FreeRADIUS + OpenLDAP for accounting

The proxy cannot speak to an SQL server.

Do you know some LDAP-SQL proxy which listen on LDAP server  port  and
convert  LDAP  request  to  SQL  and vice versa.

Also, I am considering to use:

NAS ---> FreeRADIUS (rlm_sql_mysql) ---> MySQL DB <--->  OpenLDAP with
slapd-sql <---> LDAP client

what do you think about this?

regards,
