This is exactly what I did with my previous employer but we had around 4 million users in the database. We used a LDAP database rather than SQL for it's read performance and I was looking to move to an in-memory redis database before I left but I don't think that ever happened. I used client-shortname and realms as we had possibilities of users coming in via different NAS types and I had to do a number of decisions based on the source NAS type which I bundled up using client-shortname. The auth normally isn't the big issue it is the accounting that will be the problem depending on what exactly you need to do. Freeradius will cope with it fine with little or no tweaking other than configuration of the policies you require and some unlang logic. What you will need to put a fair amount of planning into how you structure and deploy your database to make sure it is fast enough to cope with the load. You may need to go down the disconnected accounting and offload that traffic to dedicated accounting servers depending on how frequently the NASs send interim updates and if you are billing based on usage. Fun times ahead. On Sat, Apr 6, 2019 at 11:01 AM Jorge Pereira <jpereira@freeradius.org> wrote:
Rafael,
1. Add multiples sql statements in /opt/freeradius4/etc/raddb/mods-available/sql. e.g: clientX_sql { .... }, clientY_sql { .... } 2. Then, create somelogic to forward the authentications based on %{NAS-IP-Address}
e.g:
if ("%{NAS-IP-Address}" == "X") { %{clientX_sql: SELECT * ...... } } ....
ps: Maybe something based on realm can be better. Boa sorte.

Good afternoon to all,
Currently I have almost 1000 clients (enterprises) using your own MySQL database and FreeRadius instance, working very Well. (each one with their own Linux server)
Recently, some of them ask me to host the database and FreeRadius, to avoid infra-sctructure problems.
Is it possible to run just one FreeRadius Server, where it will be multiple MySQL databases, and “tell” to FreeRadius authenticate according client IP ?
Example:
Client Enterprise 1 -> NAS IP 200.200.200.200 --> Then the FreeRadius
will
use MySQL database “client1”
Client Enterprise 2 -> NAS IP 100.100.100.100 --> Then the FreeRadius will use MySQL database “client2”
Client Enterprise 3 -> NAS IP 222.222.222.222 --> Then the FreeRadius will use MySQL database “client3”
In this way, every enterprise could have their own usernames, where the username “joao” from client1 is diferent than “joao” from client2.
I research a little about virtual servers and sql instances, but I don´t know if this is the correct way.
What do you guys think about it ?
We are talking about 1000 enterprises and almost 1.000.000 usernames.

Changing the passwords to clear-text is not an option ofcourse and we do Wi-Fi. Assuming we want to start using the SQL authorization with sha512 (with hash). How do I implement the SQL query to check for sha512 password using the correct hash?
Are you using TTLS with inner PAP? If not, then what you want is impossible.
If blowfish doesn't work, then changing to SHA512 hashed passwords won't help.
Understanding the problem helps here.
