using Oracle with FreeRADIUS - I need a clue
When I have used FreeRADIUS in the past, it has been in the traditional "users" file model - that is, very simplistic installation. To date, I have not used FreeRADIUS with Oracle. Is the Oracle support in FreeRADIUS mature, or developmental, in its current state? I cannot determine this answer from a search of the mailing list archives dating back a couple of years. In addition to authentication using Oracle, is the Oracle support also meant for FreeRADIUS configuration, or session logging (accnt, auth, etc.), or some combination of the above? If Oracle support in FreeRADIUS is meant to at least include logging of session records, if RADIUS requests arrive at two FreeRADIUS server instances (say, primary and backup/failover), say Acct-Start to server "A" and the corresponding Acct-Stop to server "B" for the same RADIUS session, would both accounting log records end up in the same Oracle table (assuming both server "A" and server "B" are configured to send session logs to an Oracle instance on server "C")? It has been a while since I used FreeRADIUS, so a pointer to the RTFM would also be an acceptable answer. Thanks in advance.

Lots of people use it. Some have 10^6 users.

All of it, or any combination as you so choose.

That's a database replication issue, not a FreeRADIUS confi question.

Install FreeRADIUS. Point it to Oracle. Profit. Alan DeKok.
