I do NOT administrate this MySQL database and I have just 'databasename + username field + password field' and I just have access to this db to authenticate. Nothing more than that.
I'm not sure what you mean by "access to this DB to authenticate".
1) the sql.conf file is filled up with things I do not need, because the MySQL db has no structure that corresponds to the sql.conf file. Can I simply uncomment all lines I do not need?
The schema FreeRADIUS uses is pretty much hard-coded into the SQL module, sorry. So it can't easily be used with another schema.
2) in the accounting and authorize part of radiusd.conf there is an entry "sql", but not in "authenticate" as where I'd expect such an entry. Why is that?
Does your SQL DB perform 802.1X authentication? MS-CHAP? CHAP? HTTP digest authentication? I thought not. SQL DB's are data stores, not authentication servers. FreeRADIUS is an authentication server, not a data store. Alan DeKok. -- http://deployingradius.com - The web site of the book http://deployingradius.com/blog/ - The blog
