DESCRIPTION

13       This  helper allows Squid to connect to a RADIUS server to validate the
14       user name and password of Basic HTTP authentication.

16       -f configfile
17              Specifies the path to a configuration file. See  the  CONFIGURA‐

21              Alternative method of specifying the server to connect to
22
23       -p port
24              Specify  another server port where the RADIUS server listens for
25              requests if different from the default  RADIUS  port.   Normally

28       -i identifier
29              Unique  identifier  identifying  this  Squid proxy to the RADIUS
30              server.  If not specified the IP address is used as to  identify

32
33       -w secret
34              Alternative  method  of  specifying the shared secret. Using the
