Dear Thibault, thanx for ur help yes ,my DB server used for accounting only not authentication. but i tried what u said, as i understand it makes the RADIUS be down while the DB is down. i don't want this. i need the RADIUS to authenticate the users without inserting accounting info into the DB to minimize the outage,i need it to try to insert accounting info & if it fails NO PROBLEM authenticate the user & forget about the accounting. that's it thanx alot Thibault Le Meur wrote:
i'm facing a little problem. in some times my mysql DB server is down & the radius can't insert records into it of-course, so the users can't login as the radius doesn't authenticate them unless he can record them. Is there any solution to make the radius authenticate the users without insert records in the DB.
I suppose your mysql DB server isn't used to authenticate your users, otherwise having your radius server work even if your DB is down would make no sense (unless you have another module able to authenticate users?).
If your DB server is used only for logging purpose (accounting, post-authenticate, ...). You may find interresting information in the doc/configurable_failover file in order to make the DB module failure be non-critial.
