NAME

6       inn-radius.conf - Configuration for nnrpd RADIUS authenticator
7

DESCRIPTION

9       This describes the format and attributes of the configuration file for
10       the nnrpd RADIUS authenticator.  See radius(8) for more information
11       about the authenticator program.  The default location for this file is
12       inn-radius.conf in pathetc.
13
14       Blank lines and lines beginning with "#" are ignored, as is anything
15       after a "#" on a line.  All other lines should begin with a parameter
16       name followed by a colon and the value of that key, except that each
17       section of configuration for a particular server should be enclosed in:
18
19           server <name> {
20               # parameters...
21           }
22
23       where <name> is just some convenient label for that server.

SERVER GROUP PARAMETERS

26       The available parameters are:
27
28       radhost
29           The hostname of the RADIUS server to use for authentication.  This
30           parameter must be set.
31
32       radport
33           The port to query on the RADIUS server.  Defaults to 1645 if not
34           set.
35
36       lochost
37           The hostname or IP address making the request.  The RADIUS server
38           expects an IP address; a hostname will be translated into an IP
39           address with gethostbyname().  If not given, this information isn't
40           included in the request (not all RADIUS setups require this
41           information).
42
43       locport
44           The port the client being authenticated is connecting to.  If not
45           given, defaults to 119.  This doesn't need to be set unless readers
46           are connecting to a non-standard port.
47
48       secret
49           The shared secret with the RADIUS server.  If your secret includes
50           spaces, tabs, or "#", be sure to include it in double quotes.  This
51           parameter must be set.
52
53       prefix
54           Prepend the value of this parameter to all usernames before passing
55           them to the RADIUS server.  Can be used to prepend something like
56           "news-" to all usernames in order to put news users into a
57           different namespace from other accounts served by the same server.
58           If not set, nothing is prepended.
59
60       suffix
61           Append the value of this parameter to all usernames before passing
62           them to the RADIUS server.  This is often something like
63           "@example.com", depending on how your RADIUS server is set up.  If
64           not set, nothing is appended.
65
66       ignore-source
67           Can be set to "true" or "false".  If set to false, the RADIUS
68           authenticator will check to ensure that the response it receives is
69           from the same IP address as it sent the request to (for some added
70           security).  If set to true, it will skip this verification check
71           (if your RADIUS server has multiple IP addresses or if other odd
72           things are going on, it may be perfectly normal for the response to
73           come from a different IP address).
74

EXAMPLE

76       Here is a configuration for a news server named news.example.com,
77       authenticating users against radius.example.com and appending
78       "@example.com" to all client-supplied usernames before passing them to
79       the RADIUS server:
80
81           server example {
82               radhost: radius.example.com
83               lochost: news.example.com
84               secret: IamARADIUSsecRET
85               suffix: @example.com
86           }
87
88       The shared secret with the RADIUS server is "IamARADIUSsecRET".
