Hello, I'm using FreeRADIUS Version 3.0.8in a debian 8. I want to exec a sql query to return a value in Reply-Message: /etc/freeradius/users user Cleartext-Password := "pass" Reply-Message := "%{sql:SELECT username FROM radpostauth WHERE client like 'PA%' ....}" When I run freeradius server in debug mode, I get: Tue May 3 11:58:52 2016 : Debug: (0) files: ::: Examining Reply-Message Tue May 3 11:58:52 2016 : ERROR: (0) files: %{sql:SELECT username FROM radpostauth WHERE client like 'PA%' .... Tue May 3 11:58:52 2016 : ERROR: (0) files: ^ Invalid variable expansion If I delete the % in users files: /etc/freeradius/users user Cleartext-Password := "pass" Reply-Message := "%{sql:SELECT username FROM radpostauth WHERE client like 'PA' ....}" When I run freeradius server in debug mode, I get: rlm_sql (sql): Reserved connection (4) (0) files: Executing select query: SELECT username FROM radpostauth WHERE client like 'PA' and ...
