NAME

6       radius.so - RADIUS authentication plugin for pppd(8)
7

SYNOPSIS

9       pppd [ options ] plugin radius.so
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The  RADIUS  plugin for pppd permits pppd to perform PAP, CHAP, MS-CHAP
13       and MS-CHAPv2 authentication against a RADIUS  server  instead  of  the
14       usual /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and /etc/ppp/chap-secrets files.
15
16       The  RADIUS  plugin is built on a library called radiusclient which has
17       its own configuration files  (usually  in  /etc/radiusclient),  consult
18       those files for more information on configuring the RADIUS plugin
19
20

OPTIONS

22       The RADIUS plugin introduces one additional pppd option:
23
24       radius-config-file filename
25              The  file  filename  is  taken as the radiusclient configuration
26              file.  If  this  option  is  not  used,  then  the  plugin  uses
27              /etc/radiusclient/radiusclient.conf as the configuration file.
28
29       avpair attribute=value
30              Adds  an  Attribute-Value  pair  to  be  passed on to the RADIUS
31              server on each request.
32
33       map-to-ifname
34              Sets Radius NAS-Port attribute to number equal to interface name
35              (Default)
36
37       map-to-ttyname
38              Sets Radius NAS-Port attribute value via libradiusclient library
39

USAGE

42       To  use  the plugin, simply supply the plugin radius.so option to pppd,
43       and edit /etc/radiusclient/radiusclient.conf appropriately.  If you use
44       the  RADIUS  plugin,  the  normal  pppd  authentication schemes (login,
45       checking the /etc/ppp/*-secrets files) are skipped.  The RADIUS  server
46       should  assign  an  IP  address to the peer using the RADIUS Framed-IP-
47       Address attribute.
