Need Help to Troubleshoot MySQL Auth FreeRadius 2.1.X

[Prabhpal S. Mavi]

Dear Freeradius Hackers,

This is new implementation. Can someone help me to troubleshoot why
freeradius mysql authentication is failing. i have cross check every
expect but still seem that something is not in place.


What is i have done:

installed Freeradius + MySQL Databases
Configured Freeradius & Created MySQL Database.
configured the following files: "sql.conf" "radiusd.conf" "default"
enabled in radiusd.conf to "$INCLUDE = sql.conf"
Radius is up and running without authentication even from localhost.
Radius database is setup properly, no problem to start/stop "radiusd"
radios_log are shown in section below.


Results:

tail -f "/var/log/radius/radius.log - Output

Two MySQL Radius Users


PAY attention to the field "OP" (:= & ==) But auth is not working for any
user.


mysql> select * from radcheck where UserName='mark';
+----+----------+-----------+----+-----------------+
| id | UserName | Attribute | op | Value           |
+----+----------+-----------+----+-----------------+
|  3 | mark          | radmin    | := | 99THi49UGotool |
+----+----------+-----------+----+-----------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select * from radcheck where UserName='dany';
+----+----------+-----------+----+-----------------+
| id | UserName | Attribute | op | Value           |
+----+----------+-----------+----+-----------------+
|  1 | dany          | badmin     | == | 99THi49UGotool    |
+----+----------+-----------+----+-----------------+

radius is up and running without authentication "== or :="  make no
difference  none of the user can authenticate.

============================================

selinux off
freeradius is up
mysql db is up
there are two database users
why auth would be failing?

Any tip or clue would be greatly appreciated


Thanks / Regards
