Please note that this guide is deprecated, please use official documentation to install freeradius+mysql
This short tutorial will guide you how to Install FreeRadius + mysql support on Centos 6.2 x64. An ideal base to use with HostBill FreeRadius module.
For other OS/versions/architectures the installation process is very similar.
Login to your server/vps shell, execute the following commands:
# yum install mysql-server.x86_64 freeradius.x86_64 freeradius-mysql.x86_64 freeradius-utils.x86_64 -y |
This will install latest stable freeRADIUS server
First you need to start mysql server, do so using:
# service mysqld start |
Next, login into mysql as root using command:
# mysql |
In mysql console create new database for freeradius
mysql> CREATE DATABASE freeradius; |
You need to create new user for freeradius db.
mysql> GRANT ALL ON freeradius.* TO radius@localhost IDENTIFIED BY "FreeRadiusPassword"; |
Note: If your HostBill resides on different server you need to add remote access, do so using:
mysql> GRANT ALL ON freeradius.* TO radius@'HOSTBILL_IP' IDENTIFIED BY "FreeRadiusPassword"; |
Now it's time to create required tables. Exit mysql console, and type in:
mysql freeradius < /etc/raddb/sql/mysql/schema.sql |
Edit file:
# vi /etc/raddb/sql.conf |
Under #Connection info update your db details:
server = "localhost" login = "radius" password = "FreeRadiusPassword" radius_db = "freeradius" |
Edit file:
# vi /etc/raddb/radiusd.conf |
Uncomment this line:
$INCLUDE sql.conf |
Edit file:
# vi /etc/raddb/sites-available/default |
Uncomment this line:
sql |
under sections:
authorize { accounting { |
Ucomment sql line in /etc/raddb/sites-available/inner-tunnel under authorize {
Edit secret word.
Go to file
# vi /etc/raddb/clients.conf |
and edit secret to new value.
