Hi, I am writing a new RLM called rlm_prop_protocol. It basically adds some attributes. The value for these attributes are pulled from a backend database (MYSQL). I wanted to know whether there is a provision in freeradius or some standard method that may be used to connect and fetch data from the MYSQL database. As of now I have added MYSQL specific code in my module.
