6 radius - nnrpd RADIUS password authenticator
7
9 radius [-h] [-f config]
10
12 radius is an nnrpd authenticator, accepting a username and password
13 from nnrpd (given to nnrpd by a reader connection) and attempting to
14 authenticate that username and password against a RADIUS server. See
15 readers.conf(5) for more information on how to configure an nnrpd
16 authenticator. It is useful for a site that already does user
17 authentication via RADIUS and wants to authenticate news reading
18 connections as well.
19
20 By default, radius reads pathetc/radius.conf for configuration
21 information, but a different configuration file can be specified with
22 -f. See radius.conf(5) for a description of the configuration file.
23
25 -f config
26 Read config instead of pathetc/radius.conf for configuration
27 information.
28
29 -h Print out a usage message and exit.

32 The following readers.conf(5) fragment tells nnrpd to authenticate all
33 connections using this authenticator:
34
35 auth radius {
36 auth: radius
37 default: <FAIL>
38 default-domain: example.com
39 }
40
41 "@example.com" will be appended to the user-supplied identity, and if
42 RADIUS authentication failes, the user will be assigned an identity of
43 "<FAIL>@example.com".
44
46 It has been reported that this authenticator doesn't work with Ascend
47 RADIUS servers, but does work with Cistron RADIUS servers. It's also
48 believed to work with Livingston's RADIUS server. Contributions to
49 make it work better with different types of RADIUS servers would be
50 gratefully accepted.

52 This code has not been audited against the RADIUS protocol and may not
53 implement it correctly.

56 The RADIUS authenticator was originally written by Aidan Cully. This
57 documentation was written by Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>.
