Sorry for my extremely belated reply (been on vacation so deliberately stayed away from email.. :) ) Yes, connecting to a different port using mysql command line tools did work. Used the exact same settings for host and port etc. so ... I should get the source tree checked out at some stage so I can start having a closer look at the latest code to poke at the SSL bits... It's something I'd like to use myself in the future, opposed to any stunnel or ssh port tricks. Such tricks will just trip any such installation when it's time to replace the database host... I'd rather just have it all in the configuration file and be done with it. //anders -----Original Message----- From: freeradius-users-bounces+anders.holm=sysadmin.ie@lists.freeradius.org [mailto:freeradius-users-bounces+anders.holm=sysadmin.ie@lists.freeradius.or g] On Behalf Of A.L.M.Buxey@lboro.ac.uk Sent: 12 June 2008 18:18 To: FreeRadius users mailing list Subject: Re: MySQL connection over SSL possible? Hi,
When I tried setting the port number to something different I used "port = <port number>" .. That yielded "cannot connect to server using socket" error when running radiusd in debug mode.
So, there's two things to take away from that experience.
whoah. one missing step. did you test this setup was actually operational with a simple bit of mysql client action on the FreeRADIUS box... alan - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
