NAME

6       radiusd.conf - configuration file for the FreeRADIUS server
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The  radiusd.conf  file  resides  in  the radius database directory, by
10       default /etc/raddb.   It  defines  the  global  configuration  for  the
11       FreeRADIUS server.

FILE FORMAT

15       The file consists of attribute-value pairs, sections, and comments.
16
17       Attribute-value pairs are of the form name = value.
18
19       A  section  begins with a section name, followed on the same line by an
20       open bracket {.  The section may contain other sections, or  attribute-
21       value  pairs.   The  section  ends with a close bracket }, on a line by
22       itself.
23
24       Any line beginning with a (#)  is  deemed  to  be  a  comment,  and  is
25       ignored.  Lines containing only whitespace are also ignored.
26
27       The  file  is line-based.  That is, each newline-terminated line repre‐
28       sents either a comment, a section name, or an attribute-value pair.  It
29       is  not  possible to specify multiple items on the same line, and there
30       are no continuation lines.
31
32       The value for a particular attribute may reference a previously defined
33       attribute by name. The standard shell reference format ${name} is used.
34       When the variable is in a section or subsection, it may  be  referenced
35       as  ${section.subsection.name}.   Forward  references  are not allowed.
36       Relative references are allowed, via pre-pending the name with  one  or
37       more of '.'.
38
39       The  individidual  configuration  directives  are  too numerous to list
40       here, so this manual page only documents the file format.  Please  read
41       the  sample configuration file distributed with the server for comments
42       describing each of the allowed configuration directives.

EXAMPLES

46            foo = bar
47
48       Sets variable foo to have text value bar.
49
50            blogs = ${foo}
51
52       Sets variable blogs to the value of variable foo from the current  sec‐
53       tion.   If  there  is  no  variable foo in the current section, then it
54       looks for that variable in the body of  the  main  configuration  file,
55       e.g. {Blogdir}
56
57            my_section {
58                 baz = bud
59            }
60
61       Defines a section named my_section, containing variable baz.
62
63            blogs = ${.foo}
64
65       Sets variable blogs to the value of variable foo, from the current sec‐
66       tion.
67
68            blogs = ${..foo}
69
70       Sets variable blogs to the value of  variable  foo,  from  the  section
71       which contains the current section.
72
73            blogs = ${modules.detail.detailfile}
74
75       Sets  variable blogs to the value of variable detailfile, of the detail
76       module, which is in the modules section of the configuration file.
