Ok, I almost get it...  question:
 
The mssql.conf file has an entry like this:
 
#Database table configutation
radius_db = "radius"
 
I assume that "radius" refers to a pre-determined schema that freeRadius assumes the auth db is going to use. Thing is, I want to reference a different schema, one that is used by my current customer care system (Platypus).
 
Can I refer to a different schema? If so, where do I go to define it? Does anyone happen to know if a Platypus schema already exists?
Or would I be better off to write triggers in my current Platypus db to copy data from various tables to the radius tables every time a customer record is updated?
 
Thank you for your time,
Dave Covert
 
I am serious... and don't call me Shirley!

David, start with "rlm_sql" at source_directory/doc, check also your sql.conf in your installation etc/raddb directory....it help me also this one to start http://www.frontios.com/freeradius.html (for mysql).


I hope it helps....if you're about using ms-sql check also "mssql" at source_directory/doc.
