That's weird.
The above errors seem to point to MariaDB being the issue but I've tried multiple versions and multiple different operating systems and all manner of different settings in MariaDB and cannot seem to get FreeRADIUS and MariaDB to contact each other correctly. Because of this I just wanted to clarify if this is a known issue.
Nope. If you've tried all of those variants, then the problem isn't FreeRADIUS or MariaDB. My guess would be that there's a firewall between the two systems which is breaking the connections. Alan DeKok.
