radiusd_radius8

Usage

Overview

The radiusd_radius utility is executed by radiusd(8) as a module to provide authentication from upstream RADIUS servers.

Configurations

The radiusd_radius supports the following configuration key and value:

server address[:port]

Specify the upstream server's address and port. If port is omitted, 1812 is used. This configuration can be specified multiple times.

secret secret

Specify the shared secret with the servers. This configuration cannot be omitted.

max-tries number

Specify the maximum number of retransmissions for a server. radiusd(8) will retransmit 2, 6, 14, 22, and 30 seconds after the first transmission and subsequent retransmissions will occur every 8 seconds. If the number of retransmissions per server reaches this value, the current server is marked as “fail”, and the next server is used for subsequent requests. The default value is 3.

max-failovers number

If a positive number is specified, radiusd(8) will failover to the next server when the current server is marked “fail”. This key and value specifies the maximum number of failovers. The default value is 0.

request-timeout sec

Specify the request timeout in seconds. If this value is specified, max-tries and max-failover will not be used.
