radeapclient
RADEAPCLIENT(1) FreeRADIUS Daemon RADEAPCLIENT(1)
NAME
radeapclient - send EAP packets to a RADIUS server, calculate responses
SYNOPSIS
radeapclient [-c count] [-d raddb_directory] [-f file] [-h] [-i source_ip] [-q] [-s] [-r retries] [-S file] [-t timeout] [-v] [-x] server
{acct|auth} secret
DESCRIPTION
radeapclient is a radius client program. It can send arbitrary radius packets to a radius server, then shows the reply. Radeapclient dif-
fers from radclient in that if there is an EAP-MD5 challenge, then it will be responded to.
radeapclient is otherwise identical to radclient.
The EAP-Identity attribute, if present is used to construct an EAP Identity message.
The EAP-MD5-Password attribute, if present is used to respond to an MD5 challenge.
No other EAP types are currently supported.
OPTIONS
-c count
Send each packet count times.
-d raddb
Set dictionary directory.
-f file
Read packets from file, not stdin.
-r retries
If timeout, retry sending the packet retries times.
-t timeout
Wait timeout seconds before retrying (may be a floating point number).
-h Print usage help information.
-i id Set request id to 'id'. Values may be 0..255
-S file
Read secret from file, not command line.
-q Quiet, do not print anything out.
-s Print out summary information of auth results.
-v Show program version information.
-x Enable debugging mode.
EXAMPLE
A sample session that queries the remote server with an EAP-MD5 challenge.
( echo 'User-Name = "bob"';
echo 'EAP-MD5-Password = "hello"';
echo 'NAS-IP-Address = marajade.sandelman.ottawa.on.c';
echo 'EAP-Code = Response';
echo 'EAP-Id = 210';
echo 'EAP-Type-Identity = "bob";
echo 'Message-Authenticator = 0x00';
echo 'NAS-Port = 0' ) >req.txt
radeapclient -x localhost auth testing123 <req.txt
