NAME
clients.conf - FreeRADIUS client configuration
DESCRIPTION
The
clients.conf
file contains definitions of RADIUS clients.
The information in this file overrides any information provided in
the deprecated
clients(5)
and
naslist(5)
files.
The file format is the same as that used for
radiusd.conf.
See
radiusd.conf(5)
for more details.
Each RADIUS client entry has the following basic form:
-
client <short-name> {
<attribute> = <value>
}
ATTRIBUTES
The attributes that can appear in a
client
section are listed below. Required attributes are labelled as
such. All other attributes are optional.
- ipaddr [Required]
-
The IP address of the client. For IPv6, use "ipv6addr"
- secret [Required]
-
The RADIUS shared secret used for communication between the client/NAS
and the RADIUS server.
- shortname [optional]
-
A short alias that can be used in place of the IP address or fully
qualified hostname provided in the first line of the section.
- nastype
-
The nastype attribute is used to tell the
checkrad.pl
script which NAS-specific method it should use when checking
simultaneous use.
The following values are currently recognized:
cisco
computone
livingston
max40xx
multitech
netserver
pathras
patton
portslave
tc
usrhiper
other
- login
-
Reserved for future use.
- password
-
Reserved for future use.
EXAMPLES
-
client localhost {
ipaddr = 127.0.0.1
secret = testing123
shortname = localhost
nastype = other
}
This adds a client for the loopback address. This is useful in testing
the
server locally, for example with
radclient(1).
-
client private-network-1 {
ipaddr = 192.168.0.0
netmask = 24
secret = testing123-1
shortname = private-network-1
}
This entry represents any client from the 192.168.0.0/24 network.
The old-style format from 1.x is still accepted by the server, but
that form is deprecated.
