I've noticed in all the old documentation that it says to configure FreeRADIUS with --with-edir to enable support for Novell. All of the documentation for this that I've found is generally old and referencing FR v1.x and not 2.x. On FreeBSD, in the ports system, the with-edir toggle has been removed from the config options when building FR v2.x though it is still something available in the older FR v1.x.

It's been removed from the top-level "configure" script. It's still accepted by the configure script for the "ldap" module. When the main configure script runs, it accepts any command-line options it doesn't understand, and passes them down to the lower-level configure scripts.

My question is, do I need to do anything special when building FR v2.x to get support for the couple of e-directory options (edir_account_policy_check come to mind) or if this just works out of the box.

If I do still need to configure --with-edir

Yes.

when compiling, does anyone happen to know the syntax for FreeBSD to include it since it is no longer a toggle option. (If it is required, I'll drop an e-mail on the maintainer to see if it can be added again to make things simpler in the future.)

No, sorry. Alan DeKok.
