Calling Station ID ; mysql

[John Longland]

Hi all !!


I have been running Freeradius fro a while now ( Ver 1.0.1 ) and so far I
have been
using the "users" file. To be able to use dilaup-admin interface so that
people with
no linux experience can maintain the system, I had to switch to the
mysql-database.

I generated teh schema with the db_sql_mysql.sql script that comes with
freeradius.

I have everything running fine. I can authenticate using radtest. I can even
authenticate
from some of my clients. 

The problem:
Until now, I have had all my clients authenticate using blank usernames and
passwords.
a Lot of logistics involved in changing the clients in the field.

I realise I cannot create a user via dialup-admin with a blank username. Is
there a way to use
the Calling-Station-ID to authenticate ? Because essentially this is what
happened when
using the users-file.

I tried to play around with the settings:
e.g. by setting username,password non-blank but making AUTH-TYPE = ACCEPT.
and setting the Calling-Station-ID the expected value. But this is not
working.

Can someone help with a pointer ? I went through the archives but couldn't
find someone that
struggled with the same question ?!?!?

Thanks and best !
John
