Hello this is my second try: im using freeradius 1.1.3 under solaris10. i got it installed and configured with mysql. everything works fine, I added a user with Password and all and radtest works fine. next i configured an ippool and added it to post-auth and acct. ippool main_pool { # range-start,range-stop: The start and end ip # addresses for the ip pool range-start = 192.168.1.1 range-stop = 192.168.1.254 # netmask: The network mask used for the ip's netmask = 255.255.255.255 # cache-size: The gdbm cache size for the db # files. Should be equal to the number of ip's # available in the ip pool cache-size = 800 # session-db: The main db file used to allocate ip's to clients session-db = ${raddbdir}/db.ippool # ip-index: Helper db index file used in multilink ip-index = ${raddbdir}/db.ipindex # override: Will this ippool override a Framed-IP-Address already set override = yes # maximum-timeout: If not zero specifies the maximum time in seconds an # entry may be active. Default: 0 maximum-timeout = 0 } still everything works fine. now i added a Pool-Name to the check attributes of my test user. Then I get: rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 127.0.0.1:45506, id=185, length=55 User-Name = "SVD" User-Password = "secret" NAS-IP-Address = 255.255.255.255 NAS-Port = 0 Processing the authorize section of radiusd.conf modcall: entering group authorize for request 1 modcall[authorize]: module "preprocess" returns ok for request 1 modcall[authorize]: module "chap" returns noop for request 1 modcall[authorize]: module "mschap" returns noop for request 1 rlm_realm: No '@' in User-Name = "SVD", looking up realm NULL rlm_realm: No such realm "NULL" modcall[authorize]: module "suffix" returns noop for request 1 rlm_eap: No EAP-Message, not doing EAP modcall[authorize]: module "eap" returns noop for request 1 radius_xlat: 'SVD' rlm_sql (sql): sql_set_user escaped user --> 'SVD' radius_xlat: 'SELECT id, UserName, Attribute, Value, op FROM radcheck WHERE Username = 'SVD' ORDER BY id' rlm_sql (sql): Reserving sql socket id: 3 radius_xlat: 'SELECT radgroupcheck.id,radgroupcheck.GroupName,radgroupcheck.Attribute,radgroupcheck.Value,radgroupcheck.op FROM radgroupcheck,usergroup WHERE usergroup.Username = 'SVD' AND usergroup.GroupName = radgroupcheck.GroupName ORDER BY radgroupcheck.id' radius_xlat: 'SELECT id, UserName, Attribute, Value, op FROM radreply WHERE Username = 'SVD' ORDER BY id' radius_xlat: 'SELECT radgroupreply.id,radgroupreply.GroupName,radgroupreply.Attribute,radgroupreply.Value,radgroupreply.op FROM radgroupreply,usergroup WHERE usergroup.Username = 'SVD' AND usergroup.GroupName = radgroupreply.GroupName ORDER BY radgroupreply.id' rlm_sql (sql): Released sql socket id: 3 rlm_sql (sql): No matching entry in the database for request from user [SVD] modcall[authorize]: module "sql" returns notfound for request 1 modcall: leaving group authorize (returns ok) for request 1 auth: No authenticate method (Auth-Type) configuration found for the request: Rejecting the user auth: Failed to validate the user. Login incorrect: [SVD/secret] (from client localhost port 0) Delaying request 1 for 1 seconds BTW: setting Auth-Type in radcheck for the user or in radgroupcheck for his group doesnt change anything. Anybody knows what im doing wrong? Thx in advance for your help.
