Thank you Nathan. May I check if there would be a way to achieve the requirement to dynamically update client info without the need to restart radiusd service?

The setup is using Red Hat 8, freeradius 3.0.20-14 and mariadb. My scenario will need to update the clients without the need to restart radiusd service.Thus I started using SQL DB as the source for freeradius clients. SQL module is configured to use mysql and other queries are commented in /etc/raddb/mods-config/sql/main/mysql/queries.conf The commented queries are authorize_check_query, authorize_reply_query, group_membership_query, authorize_group_check_query, authorize_group_reply_query. As of now, it works as follows. When radiusd is started, it will load the clients from the database table.However, adding/removing of clients in the table will not take affect until the service is restarted again. Below is the output of radiusd -X. If more information is required, please let me know. <stuff> This is as designed and is included in the documentation: https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/freeradius-server/blob/68714a4ac45da4a8cb9b240... Really important to read and understand all this stuff to get the most out of FreeRADIUS, there is a lot of documentation in these config files. --Nathan Ward
