Hi,
I am able to get authentication setup with Mysql and Freeradius. Just one simple question, for pure authentication purpose, is it better just to use the Mysql database for authentication instead of setting up Freeradius? Is there any advantage of using Freeradius on top of Mysql?
If I use Mysql to serve authentication for Openser, is it possible to encrypt the password in Mysql?
Is it possible to specify the table and fields to be used for authentication instead of using the default mysql tables?
Thanks for your help.
Regards, Mark

i have found it convenient that with radius functions i can return all kinds of attributes of caller or callee as side effect at the expense of one database query.

isn't similar behavior as done with load_credentials parameter of auth_db?
