Always use radiusd -X when debugging!

This is the driver of the rlm_sql module that connects to Oracle SQL databases.

Manually building the rlm_sql_oracle module - Oracle Instant Client 11 64bit

This procedure can be used where an rlm_sql_oracle package is not available, and you're using a package management system to install the server.

  1. Download and install the Oracle instant client
  2. Download and decompress the FreeRADIUS src tarball version that matches your installed package
  3. Run configure with oracle-specific arguments. You may need to change the paths to ones which are specific to your system and/or the Oracle version.
    • ./configure --with-oracle-lib-dir=/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64/lib --with-oracle-include-dir=/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64
    • make. You should see it making rlm_sql_oracle-<fr_version>.so
    • cd src/modules/rlm_sql/drivers/rlm_sql_oracle
    • make install That will install ONLY the Oracle module. If you don't see it building or installing anything, edit the Makefile in the rlm_sql_oracle directory, and fix it to point to the correct directories. You do not need to re-run configure
  4. vi /etc/raddb/modules sql
    • :%s/database = ".*"/database = "oracle"/g
  5. From the decompressed archive cp -r raddb/sql/oracle /etc/raddb/sql/
  6. Ensure that the environmental variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH contains the path /usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64/lib and that ORACLE_HOME contains the path /usr/include/oracle/11.2/client64, if they don't add them in the /etc/init.d/radiusd file
  7. Launch FreeRADIUS radiusd -X for debug and if everything looks ok start the service
