hiya,

does anyone know if users/sql authentication based on the NAS-Port-Id field possible? and if so how?

Colm, What are you going to authenticate? If they can use any username/password, then are you just checking whether a port is active or inactive? You're probably talking about defining a new authentication module (which can then do anything you want). A quick way would be to use rlm_perl to embed a perl module that does the authentication (see http://wiki.freeradius.org/index.php/Rlm_perl). It can access a DB etc if required. Thanks, Alex
