NAME
clients - RADIUS clients file
DESCRIPTION
The clients file resides in the radius database directory,
by default /etc/raddb. It contains a list of RADIUS clients.
Every line starting with a hash sign
('#')
is treated as comment and ignored.
Each line of the file contains two white-space delimited fields.
- client hostname
-
The RADIUS clients hostname This may be a plain hostname, or a
dotted-quad IP address.
- secret
-
This is the so-called "shared secret" that is held between a RADIUS
server and client. It is used to encrypt passwords in RADIUS packets,
and also for authentication. You need to configure the same secret
on the client (terminal server) as in this file.
The
clients
file is read by radiusd on startup only.
