6 clients.conf - FreeRADIUS client configuration
7
9 The clients.conf file contains definitions of RADIUS clients.
10
11 The information in this file overrides any information provided in the
12 deprecated clients(5) and naslist(5) files.
13
14 The file format is the same as that used for radiusd.conf. See
15 radiusd.conf(5) for more details.
16
17 Each RADIUS client entry has the following basic form:
18
19 client <short-name> {
20 <attribute> = <value>
21 }
22
24 The attributes that can appear in a client section are listed below.
25 Required attributes are labelled as such. All other attributes are
26 optional.
27
28 ipaddr [Required]
29 The IP address of the client. For IPv6, use "ipv6addr"
30
31 secret [Required]
32 The RADIUS shared secret used for communication between the
33 client/NAS and the RADIUS server.
34
35 shortname [optional]
36 A short alias that can be used in place of the IP address or fully
37 qualified hostname provided in the first line of the section.
38
39 nastype
40 The nastype attribute is used to tell the checkrad.pl script which
41 NAS-specific method it should use when checking simultaneous use.
42
43 The following values are currently recognized:
44 cisco
45 computone
46 livingston
47 max40xx
48 multitech
49 netserver
50 pathras
51 patton
52 portslave
53 tc
54 usrhiper
55 other
56
57 login
58 Reserved for future use.
59
60 password
61 Reserved for future use.
62
64 client localhost {
65 ipaddr = 127.0.0.1
66 secret = testing123
67 shortname = localhost
68 nastype = other
69 }
70
71 This adds a client for the loopback address. This is useful in testing
72 the server locally, for example with radclient(1).
73
74 client private-network-1 {
75 ipaddr = 192.168.0.0
76 netmask = 24
77 secret = testing123-1
78 shortname = private-network-1
79 }
80
81 This entry represents any client from the 192.168.0.0/24 network.
82
83 The old-style format from 1.x is still accepted by the server, but that
84 form is deprecated.
