hi, I've been asking for the same questions from the past few days about using my customized table schema and executing stored procedures in Ms Sql 2000 with free radius server 2.0, but I didn't find the exact solution till now. I've tried all the alternatives that is replied in the Maling list by Ivan Kalik, Alan Dekok and some other guys, unfortunately my requirements doesn't match their replies. I am stating the problem here, I appreciate any kind of advice. 1. Using my customized table of my own in Ms Sql 2000 rather than the default (ie radcheck) with free radius 2 through Perl script. 2. Executing stored procedures of Ms Sql 2000 through Perl script. I've put "perl" in the authorization section in the sites-enabled/default directory I've put Auth-Type perl { perl } in the authenticate section And I've put a section of perl module in the modules section in the radiusd.conf, the radiusd -X works fine and reads all the perl module while running the radius in debugging mode, My confusion is that how do I fetch the username and the password from my own customized table which contains only username and password and authenticate through perl script. Secondly how do I execute the stored procedures written in Ms Sql 2000 through perl script. Thanks and Regards Elangbam Johnson
