NAME

6       clients.conf - FreeRADIUS client configuration
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The clients.conf file contains definitions of RADIUS clients.
10
11       The  information in this file overrides any information provided in the
12       deprecated clients(5) and naslist(5) files.
13
14       The file format is  the  same  as  that  used  for  radiusd.conf.   See
15       radiusd.conf(5) for more details.
16
17       Each RADIUS client entry has the following basic form:
18
19              client <hostname|ip-address|ip-network> {
20                     <attribute> = <value>
21               }
22
23       ip-network is used to specify a network of clients. Networks are speci‐
24       fied in CIDR notation. If multiple overlapping  networks  are  defined,
25       the best match (smallest possible network) will be chosen for a packet.
26

ATTRIBUTES

28       The  attributes  that  can appear in a client section are listed below.
29       Required attributes are labelled as  such.  All  other  attributes  are
30       optional.
31
32       secret [Required]
33            The  RADIUS  shared  secret  used  for  communication  between the
34            client/NAS and the RADIUS server.
35
36       shortname [Required]
37            A short alias that can be used in place of the IP address or fully
38            qualified hostname provided in the first line of the section.
39
40       nastype
41            The nastype attribute is used to tell the checkrad.pl script which
42            NAS-specific method it should use when checking simultaneous use.
43
44            The following values are currently recognized:
45            cisco
46            computone
47            livingston
48            max40xx
49            multitech
50            netserver
51            pathras
52            patton
53            portslave
54            tc
55            usrhiper
56            other
57
58       login

EXAMPLES

65              client 127.0.0.1 {
66                      secret          = testing123
67                      shortname       = localhost
68                      nastype         = other
69              }
70
71       This adds a client for the loopback address. This is useful in  testing
72       the server locally, for example with radclient(1).
73
74              client 192.168.0.0/24 {
75                     secret          = testing123-1
76                     shortname       = private-network-1
77              }
78
79       This entry represents any client from the 192.168.0.0/24 network.
