Now that the Livingston RADIUS NT (can't wait for the name
problems to really get bad on that one) is out, I can talk
about the product.
Livingston's RADIUS NT ODBC, err DAO, implementation is far
from usefull. You have to BUILD the database from a users
file! Talk about taking a step backwards, its not even close
to RDBMS designed.
If you look at the DB schema, all information for the user
is stored in a SINGLE field. This means you have to parse
or put the field together manually in your code. Thats
what a database ENGINE is supposed to do!
There was some talk on the Beta list about this, and its
was slated for "next release".
BTW, RadiusNT 2.2 (which will be shortly available) is going
to be available in ODBC mode outside of Emerald. This should
satisfy those people (like yourself) who need a true RDBMS
based RADIUS solution. Full documentation of the database
layout and schema is also included.
