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.
