Pop quiz – virtual servers

1. Create a new virtual server in the sites-available directory. Configure and specify a separate SQL database for this new virtual server. Link this virtual server to the sites-enabled directory. Define the VPN server as a client in the clients.conf file and use the virtual_server directive to force the use of this new virtual server for RADIUS requests.
2. The buffered-sql virtual server under the sites-available directory can be used as a template to work around the slow SQL response.
3. This is because the authenticate section does not contain a Auth-Type PERL {...} sub-section. Usually the Auth-Type will be set by a module or by unlang inside the authorize section. The authenticate section then requires a sub-section for the Auth-Type to handle its values.
