Re: FreeRadios rlm_sql dumps if databaase server hiccups
Ok, Well with no answer to this question let me ask it another way... In the event of database (via ODBC) failure... is there a way I can make the radius server go into failsafe mode, and just authenticate anything?

Re: FreeRadios rlm_sql dumps if databaase server hiccups
Hi, we are looking at setting up FreeRadius on a test SME 7 box for the first time - we are using an AOpen AP as a test AP. Is there any step-by-step intro available on the web, we are getting bogged down in a mass of details and conf files. Thanks for any pointers.

I think that authenticating everyone if the database went down would be called 'foolsafe' :) If your database is down you're out of business. There are much better 'failsafe' methods - search for fail-over in the FreeRadius documentation. Matt wrote: Ok, Well with no answer to this question let me ask it another way...

Re: FreeRadios rlm_sql dumps if databaase server hiccups
I'll do that, however unless the fail-over has something to do with freeradius, we already do it (with our access servers)... the problem is... freradius is sending a reject packet back when it doesn't get a responce from the database EXAMPLE: Database server gets restarted (for whatever reason) at 4am when we do some maintence. I now need to restart every one of our radius servers.. because they don't reconnect the ODBC stream to MS SQL!
