Just curious what the minimum modules required to use Freeradius to authenticate (not sure if that is the correct terminology) from and Oracle DB. Keep in mind that I am only planning on querying the DB and not updating or inserting information for accounting purposes. However, I wouldn't rule out using a text file (radutmp, I think) for accounting purposes, though. I have been trying to compile it using the following: # ORACLE_HOME=/cygdrive/d/oracle/ora92; export ORACLE_HOME # cd freeradius-1.1.4 # ./configure Which generates an error: rlm_perl.c: In function `rlm_perl_get_handles': rlm_perl.c:226: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size rlm_perl.c: At top level: rlm_perl.c:614: error: external linkage required for symbol 'XS_radiusd_radlog' because of 'dllexport' attribute. I have also used: # ./configure --without-rlm_perl Which appear to compile successfully, but I get a lot of errors about missing modules and/or libraries. # ./radiusd.exe -X ... radiusd: entering modules setup Module: Library search path is /usr/local/lib radiusd.conf[10] Failed to link to module 'rlm_sql': No such file or directory radiusd.conf[1850] Unknown module "sql". radiusd.conf[1779] Failed to parse authorize section. I know I have a library linking issue, but I read the <a href="http://wiki.freeradius.org/index.php/FAQ#It_says_.22Could_not_link_..._file_not_found.22.2C_what_do_I_do.3F">FAQs </a> and attempted to resolve them using the methods mentioned. I get no errors during the configure for sql modules (other than mysql, but I'm not trying to compile support for that anyway). Since I'm using the Oracle libs to create the Oracle modules, I don't *think* I should disable shared libraries. ... Or should I? I've also tried setting: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/cygdrive/d/oracle/ora92/oci/lib:/cygdrive/d/oracle/ora92/lib Without good results. I also do not have ld.conf nor ldconfig on the system (Cygwin), but I have read elsewhere that neither of them should be required. I realize that this is not necessarily an issue with Freeradius. Although I am having trouble compiling from source, I can install the .NET version and run without issue. From my understanding, both are basically the same, just .NET has had changes made to deal with the different path structure in Cygwin. I saw a lot of old posts (<2003) that dealt with similar issues, but on much older versions (Oracle 8 and Freeradius .1 - .3). Help, insight, thoughts are all appreciated. Attached below is my somewhat hacked up conf files. Sorry for the long post.
