Freeradius 3.0.17 Unable to connect mssql database with iodbc

[Giovanni Di Giorgio]

Hi,

>You've defined an IP address in the ini file ... In FR you've just got the

"test" is the name of the data source, not the hostname of the mssql server
and I think that freeradius uses this reference at startup, if the "iodbc"
driver has been set in the "sql" configuration file. Infact if i set ,in
the "server" parameter, any value other than "test" I get:
"
rlm_sql_iodbc: SQLConnectfailed
rlm_sql_iodbc: IM002: [iODBC] [Driver Manager] Data source name not found
and no default driver specified. Driver could not be loaded
"
However I tried to set up the server so that it could resolve the hostname
"test" with the ip of the mssql server, but nothing has changed.

I checked with tcpdump.
During the startup of freeradius (freeradius -X), no connection attempt
from radius server to mssql server appears, .
If I use the command:
isql -v test sa *****
I can see connection from radius server to mssql serve on port 1433.

Thanks.
