<div style=""><div><div>For me it has worked since then. I have seen only one of each of your messages.</div><div><br></div><div>Have a nice day!</div></div></div></blockquote><div><br>Excellent! One problem solved, and on to the next one.<br>
<br>To get back on topic a tad then so, and to describe my experience with the SSL side of things ...<br><br>I've managed to get stunnel working happily. A few things of note there though ..<br><br>A/ It wasn't possible to set port numbers for some reson for the SQL connection. Default port was the only way to get it working.<br>
B/ Due to A, what I then did was to create virtual interfaces on the loopback interface, as many needed as there are backend SQL servers.<br>C/ Setup stunnel in client mode on the radius box. Forward each <virtual interface>:3306 to <db_host>:<pick a good port><br>
D/ Setup stunnel on <db_host> in server mode. Forward <all_interfaces>:<your good port> to <localhost>:3306<br>E/ Change sql.conf to point each sql server to the respective virtual interface...<br>
<br>When I tried setting the port number to something different I used "port = <port number>" .. That yielded "cannot connect to server using socket" error when running radiusd in debug mode.<br>
<br>So, there's two things to take away from that experience.<br><br>1/ SSL would be a great option to add to the MySQL shim.<br>2/ Ability to change port numbers of the MySQL server. Someone may need it, for some interesting reason.<br>
<br>I hope this helps others with similar requirements! If I find the time I'll see if I can brush up enough of my C knowledge to create a patch or two for these things, but no promises. Incidentally, I'm also heading off on vacation for a bit, so it won't be tomorrow.. :)<br>
