What is the best place to place directives to make separate calls to a separate database for accounting table updates. I want to use a database -- radius -- for strictly -- radcheck, reply, and radgroupcheck, group reply, and usergroup tables -- the radacct table I want to strictly be updated in a separate database: accounting. The reason for this is to keep database replication turned on for those check/reply tables, and not worry so much about replicating accounting tables between the database servers. I am running the following version of FreeRADIUS: radiusd: FreeRADIUS Version 2.2.4, for host i686-pc-linux-gnu, built on Apr 8 2014 at 18:21:52 At this point, I have SQL working for authorization and authentication purposes, and the databases are replicating between all 3 database servers. In radiusd.conf: $INCLUDE sql1.conf $INCLUDE sql2.conf $INCLUDE sqlacct1.conf $INCLUDE sqlacct2.conf In sites-enabled\default: authorize { ... redundant { sql1 sql2 } ... accounting { acct_unique detail unix radutmp sql sqlacct1 { fail = 1 notfound = return noop = 2 ok = return updated = 3 reject = return userlock = 4 invalid = 5 handled = 6 } Despite this, and despite the separate connection setting in sqlacct1.conf vs. sql1.conf -- radius still sending accounting data to radius:/radacct table for insertion. Sql1.conf: sql { ... # Database type # Current supported are: rlm_sql_mysql, rlm_sql_postgresql, # rlm_sql_iodbc, rlm_sql_oracle, rlm_sql_unixodbc, rlm_sql_freetds driver = "rlm_sql_mysql" # Connect info server = "127.0.0.1" login = "raduser" password = "XXXXXXXX" # Database table configuration radius_db = "radius" ... Sqlacct1.conf: Sql { ... # Database type # Current supported are: rlm_sql_mysql, rlm_sql_postgresql, # rlm_sql_iodbc, rlm_sql_oracle, rlm_sql_unixodbc, rlm_sql_freetds driver = "rlm_sql_mysql" # Connect info server = "127.0.0.1" login = "raduser" password = "XXXXXXXX" # Database table configuration radius_db = "accounting" ...
