Hi, I installed latest version of it and followed the steps as mentioned in the website: http://wiki.freeradius.org/SQL_HOWTO. After configuring basic setup I'm facing i.e. No authenticate method (Auth-Type) configuration found for the request: Rejecting the user when I run radtest I'm facing error as listed below; [root@newtest raddb]# radtest sqltest testpwd 127.0.0.1 1812 testing123 Sending Access-Request of id 38 to 127.0.0.1 port 1812 User-Name = "sqltest" User-Password = "testpwd" NAS-IP-Address = 127.0.0.1 NAS-Port = 1812 rad_recv: Access-Reject packet from host 127.0.0.1 port 1812, id=38, length=20 The logs of radiusd -X are listed down below; FreeRADIUS Version 2.1.8, for host i686-pc-linux-gnu, built on Apr 9 2010 at 12:11:15 Copyright (C) 1999-2009 The FreeRADIUS server project and contributors.

It is further to be added that I'm facing this error when I configure FreeRadius with MySQL, but working fine when using "users" file. I even configure sql.conf and configure mysql parameters, include sql in radius.conf and on sites-available/default I enabled sql on account and authorize section as steps mentioned in website above. Because as I pass radius credentials, I can connect to MySQL. Is there other way to check radius connection with MySQL? Note: Firewall and SELinux has been disabled on my machine. Please advise how can I resolve this issue. -- Regards, Ahmed Munir
