Hi all,
I have some weird unexplained phenomena happening with Radiator
which I'm wondering if anyone can explain.
In our situation, we have an AuthBy FILE, then either the user is authenticated
or (by default) the auth is passed onto Identifier System, which does an
AuthBy SYSTEM and an AuthBy SQL.
We were using Radiator 2.13.1, and my problem (i'm getting to that bit :)
was happening with both the old SqlDb.pm and the new one (ie the patch).
What was happening was:
1) User tries to auth, password in users file.. access accepted. fine.
2) User tries to auth, password is wrong. rejected by AuthSYSTEM before
AuthSQL. fine.
3) User tries to auth, password is right, passed by AuthSYSTEM, AuthSQL
just hangs. I then need to kill radiusd will kill -9 pid - or else it
just doesn't respond to anything.
Trying this with trace level 4 showed nothing - it just said
"Handling by AuthSQL" and then went dead... We are using an Oracle8 database...
this has worked pretty much fine for about a month.. (although with similar
problems to this randomly - but a restart usually fixed that).
The database connection in general was fine - I have a perl script which
connects and does a transaction using DBI which I can run to test htis...
and that worked fine... I was able to connect and execute a query using the
same username, password, etc... basically, same conditions to radiator...
Upgrading the system to 2.14.1 seems to have fixed this problem.. but I am
wondering if anyone knows what was causing this in 2.13.1? I would like to make
sure that it is not something that is going to raise its ugly head again :)
thanks,
Jeremy
