10 radius.so \- RADIUS authentication plugin for
20 The RADIUS plugin for pppd permits pppd to perform PAP, CHAP, MS-CHAP and
21 MS-CHAPv2 authentication against a RADIUS server instead of the usual
22 .I /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
24 .I /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
27 The RADIUS plugin is built on a library called
29 which has its own configuration files (usually in \fI/etc/radiusclient\fR),
30 consult those files for more information on configuring the RADIUS
34 The RADIUS plugin introduces one additional pppd option:
36 .BI "radius-config-file " filename
39 is taken as the radiusclient configuration file. If this option is not
40 used, then the plugin uses
41 .I /etc/radiusclient/radiusclient.conf
42 as the configuration file.
45 To use the plugin, simply supply the
47 option to pppd, and edit
48 .I /etc/radiusclient/radiusclient.conf
49 appropriately. If you use the RADIUS plugin, the normal pppd authentication
50 schemes (login, checking the /etc/ppp/*-secrets files) are skipped. The
51 RADIUS server should assign an IP address to the peer using the RADIUS
52 Framed-IP-Address attribute.
