NAME

       squid_radius_auth - Squid RADIUS authentication helper

SYNOPSIS

       squid_radius_auth -f configfile
       squid_radius_auth -h "server" [-p port] [-i identifier] -w secret

DESCRIPTION

       This helper allows Squid to connect to a RADIUS server to validate the user name and password of Basic HTTP authentication.

       -f configfile
              Specifies the path to a configuration file. See the CONFIGURATION section for details.

       -h server
              Alternative method of specifying the server to connect to

       -p port
              Specify  another  server  port where the RADIUS server listens for requests if different from the default RADIUS port.  Normally not
              specified.

       -i identifier
              Unique identifier identifying this Squid proxy to the RADIUS server.  If not specified the IP address is used  as  to  identify  the
              proxy.

       -w secret
              Alternative method of specifying the shared secret. Using the configuration file is generally more secure and recommended.

       -t timeout
              RADIUS request timeout. Default 10 seconds.

              specifies the shared RADIUS secret.

       identifier nameofserver
              specifies what the proxy should identify itsels as to the RADIUS server.  This directive is optional.
