6 radius.so - RADIUS authentication plugin for pppd(8)
7
9 pppd [ options ] plugin radius.so
10
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
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
40
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.
