Hi Mark,
Thanks for the clarification.
you can check by connecting also .. this is test environment on Oracle
database18c XE
>sqlplus radius/radius at 113.21.228.14:1521/xepdb1
My Freeradius and oracle databases are on different servers.
Freeradius: 103.40.226.34
Oracle: 113.21.228.14
I am installing Oracle instant Client on Freeradius(103.40.226.34)
after that I checked oracle database connected from Freeradius serverby
below command:
First given command: export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/oracle/18.5/client64/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Second : /usr/lib/oracle/18.5/client64/bin/sqlplus radius/
radius at 113.21.228.14:1521/xepdb1

vi /usr/local/etc/raddb/mods-available/sql
please check is this configuration correct?

1. can you tell me Oracle database 18c is supported Freeradius?
because oracle 18c database has a container database and plugable database,
but this concept had not in database 11g . I used xepdb1
2. can you tell me how to connect oracle database with oracle instantclient
Thanks
