Hello all, been spending lots of time reading the list archives, reading the
docs, sample configs and so on but can't find a solution so I thought I
would ping the list for some help.
I am running FR 2.1.3 which I installed a few days ago.
I have it doing most of what I need it to after a bit of work and lots of
reading :)
The thing I am stuck on right now is how to get FR to log failed login
attempts with the reason for the failure.
At the moment I have it logging the failed attempts in the radpostauth table
in MySQL. The problem is it only logs the result as a failure with no other
info..
I would love to get the Reply-Message in the table but will settle for this
info in the Radius.log or any text based log.
It seems that most things I have read suggest that failed authentication
attempts are logged to the radius.log by default but they do not show up for
me.
How can I either get the failed authentications in a text log with the
failure reason or get them in the MySQL table?
The latter being preferred but again I will settle for the text logging if
it's all that's available.
I am a FR newb so the simple the solution, the better :)
Thanks in advance for any help provided..
Regards,
Todd R.
