To be clear: databases do not perform authentication. Being confused about the functionality and operation of the system means that it's more difficult to come up with a simple solution. FreeRADIUS obtains passwords from databases. So your goal now is to figure out how to query the *correct* database for the users password. > depending > on where the request comes from, however the user may exist in both, with > different passwords. How do I tell it to use the MySQL username/password > pairs 'only' when it comes from a specific NAS? Put the NASes into groups. See "man rlm_passwd" for ways to create different groups. Key off of NAS-IP-Address. Then, have a policy saying "NAS group A uses SQL", and "NAS group B uses /etc/passwd". > I have tried specifing the "Auth-Type := LOCAL" in my SQL reply tables, Don't.
