I was trying to upgrade from version 1.1.0 to 1.1.3 but when starting FreeRadius I received the following error: "Error: /usr/local/etc/raddb/users[216]: Parse error (check) for entry DEFAULT: Unknown value SQL for attribute Auth-Type"
That's because the SQL module doesn't do authentication.
I use FR with MySQL and the ./raddb/users file contains the default attributes. E.g. DEFAULT Simultaneous-Use := 1, Auth-Type := sql
Why are you forcing Auth-Type to SQL?
Idle-Timeout = 3600, Acct-Interim-Interval = 180
This worked fine until FR 1.1.1 and stopped working with 1.1.2.
No, it did NOT work in 1.1.1. It was IGNORED in 1.1.1, due to a bug in the server.
I found that one change in the ./src/lib/valuepair.c file caused this problem: ... It seems that the pairmake function does not return a valid pair when the pair is 'Auth-Type := SQL'.
Yes, because the SQL module doesn't do authentication.
if my users file entry is simply not correct?
It's not correct.
In a posting from Oct 2001 I saw the following:
If you want to do SQL authentication, you should use 'Auth-Type := SQL' in the 'users' file.
If that was a post from me, it's a typo. It's wrong. Alan DeKok. -- http://deployingradius.com - The web site of the book http://deployingradius.com/blog/ - The blog
