Freeradius & Oracle

[Peter Nixon]

Hi Brian

If you wish to use Oracle you will need to recompile FreeRADIUS on a machine 
that has Oracle development libraries installed. We have a number of 
FreeRADIUS + Oracle deployments and it works well.

Most rpm installations now (Including the SUSE packages which I maintain) do 
not included oraclesql.conf due to the fact that they also don't contain the 
Oracle drive (due to copyright reasons)

On SUSE Linux if you have the Oracle devel files in a sane location it should 
be a simple matter of taking the latest FreeRADIUS release tarball and 
dropping it in /usr/src/packages/SOURCES along with the other files from the 
suse/ directory inside the tarball with the exception of freeradius.spec 
which goes in /usr/src/packages/SPECS.

Then edit /usr/src/packages/SPECS/freeradius.spec and change "%define 
_oracle_support 0" to "%define _oracle_support 1"

The run:
rpmbuild -ba /usr/src/packages/SPECS/freeradius.spec

Regards

Peter
