Hi, Thanks for reply. Well user is created on SQL, and I uncommented 'sql' from sites-enabled/default on Authorized section and Accounting Section. But when I add 'sql' in Authenticate section I'm getting same error. i.e. [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 user I created in SQL listed down below; id username attribute op value 1 sqltest Cleartext-Password := testpwd Please advise what am I missing? Kindly assist me. Date: Mon, 12 Apr 2010 13:25:45 +0100

Hi,

...

I'm newbie in FreeRadius, I installed latest version of it and followed the steps as mentioned in the websites: http://www.howtoforge.com/authentication-authorization-and-accounting-with-f... 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 issue "radtest sqltest testpwd 127.0.0.1 1812 testing123".

the username 'sqltest' gives a slight hint.

is this user in 'users' file or in SQL? if the username is in SQL, then you need to activate the SQL stuff (uncomment or add SQL to the auth section) - its not on by default because then all sites would have to have SQL up and running for anything to work (or else it'd crash and burn)
