Where should I setup the host and port where radiator must search for Oracle?
(contributed by John Coy ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) You'll need to define the remote
database in your tnsnames.ora file, like this:
-- tnsnames.ora --
remote_database=
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=
(PROTOCOL=TCP)
(HOST=WWW.XXX.YYY.ZZZ)
(PORT=XXXX)
)
(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=WG73))
)
(replacing values as appropriate)
Then, in your radiusd.cfg, you define an clause using the "remote_database" in
the connect string.
-- radiusd.cfg --
DBSource dbi:Oracle:remote_database
DBUsername USERNAME
DBAuth PASSWORD
There's a lot more in the clause to make it work. Look at the docs for more
information.
LET ME MENTION that if you do not have the correct connect string, radiator
will dump core every time it tries to talk to your database.
Double-check your entries and write some test perl programs using that connect
string!
