Dear freeradius-experts, I'm using version 3.0.21, running in docker (freeradius/freeradius-server:latest-alpine). I want to use freeradius to authenticate users against entries in a file in the form "username:$2a$10$<bcrypt hash>". This works quite well, using the following stanza: passwd my_passwd { filename = /opt/etc/raddb/ext/pwd.txt format = "*User-Name:Crypt-Password:" hash_size = 100 ignore_nislike = no allow_multiple_keys = no } However, when the file gets modified, the changes are not picked up by freeradius. I checked the FAQ [1], which suggests to use kill -HUP <PID>, but that doesn't work either: Do you have any hints for me to get this resolved? It works by restarting the docker container, but I'd rather avoid this if possible. Actually, my users are stored by a 3rd party application in a postgresql DB. This DB is using a different schema than radiusd (I checked [2]), so I decided to generate the file described above. If it would be easy to access the DB directly using custom SQL queries ONLY for usernames/passwords, that would be another option. I only need authentication, no accounting or any logging into the DB. kind regards, Markus [1]: https://wiki.freeradius.org/guide/FAQ#how-do-i_how-do-i-get-radius-to-pick-u...
