10 [-i input_file] [-n name] [-o output_file] [-q]
11
13 FreeRADIUS Server administration tool that connects to the control
14 socket of a running server, and gives a command-line interface to it.
15 At this time, only a few commands are supported. Please type "help" at
17 the command prompt for detailed information about the supported com‐
18 mands.
19
21 The security protections offered by this command are limited to the
22 permissions on the Unix domain socket, and the server configuration.
23 If someone can connect to the Unix domain socket, they have a substan‐
24 tial amount of control over the server.
25
27 The following command-line options are accepted by the program.
28 -d config directory
30 Defaults to /etc/raddb. radmin looks here for the server config‐
31 uration files to find the "listen" section that defines the con‐
32 trol socket filename.
33 -e command
35 Run command and exit.
36 -E Echo commands as they are being executed.
38 -f socket_file
40 Specify the socket filename directly. The radiusd.conf file is
41 not read.
42 -h Print usage help information.
44 -i input_file
46 Reads input from the specified file. If not specified, stdin is
47 used. This also sets "-q".
48 -n mname
50 Read raddb/name.conf instead of raddb/radiusd.conf.
51 -o output_file
53 Write output to the specified file. If not specified, stdout is
54 used. This also sets "-q".
55 -q Quiet mode.
57
59 The commands implemented by the command-line interface are almost com‐
60 pletely controlled by the server. There are a few commands interpreted
61 locally by radmin:
62 reconnect
64 Reconnect to the server.
65 quit Exit from radmin.
67 exit Exit from radmin.
69 The other commands are implemented by the server. Type "help" at the
71 prompt for more information.
72
74 debug file /var/log/radius/bob.log
75 Set debug logs to /var/log/radius/bob.log. There is very little
76 checking of this filename. Rogue administrators may be able use
77 this command to over-write almost any file on the system. If
78 those administrators have write access to "radius.conf", they
79 can do the same thing without radmin, too.
80 debug condition '(User-Name == "bob")'
82 Enable debugging output for all requests that match the condi‐
83 tion. Any "unlang" condition is valid here. The condition is
84 parsed as a string, so it must be enclosed in single or double
85 quotes. Strings enclosed in double-quotes must have back-
86 slashes and the quotation marks escaped inside of the string.
87 Only one debug condition can be active at a time.
89 debug condition '((User-Name == "bob") || (Packet-Src-IP-
91 Address == 192.0.2.22))'
92 A more complex condition that enables debugging output for
93 requests containing User-Name "bob", or requests that originate
94 from source IP address 192.0.2.22.
95 debug condition
97 Disable debug conditionals.
