AIX and radius authentication
We want to use RADIUS to authenticate our AIX server logins. Can anybody tell me how to set on AIX server up to use a Radius server to authenticate or point me to documentation on setting up AIX to use Radius to authenticate user login.
Our problem is that we have a few users that access our AIX servers and will be going to 30-50 users and want quick and easy way to allow them access without having to create 30-50 new user account on our 50-70 AIX servers. We researched using AD but have issues with scheme creation as AD is controlled by another group.

pppd-radius
PPPD-RADIUS(8) System Manager's Manual PPPD-RADIUS(8)
NAME
radius.so - RADIUS authentication plugin for pppd(8)
SYNOPSIS
pppd [ options ] plugin radius.so
DESCRIPTION
The RADIUS plugin for pppd permits pppd to perform PAP, CHAP, MS-CHAP and MS-CHAPv2 authentication against a RADIUS server instead of the
usual /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and /etc/ppp/chap-secrets files.
The RADIUS plugin is built on a library called radiusclient which has its own configuration files (usually in /etc/radiusclient), consult
those files for more information on configuring the RADIUS plugin
OPTIONS
The RADIUS plugin introduces one additional pppd option:
radius-config-file filename
The file filename is taken as the radiusclient configuration file. If this option is not used, then the plugin uses
/etc/radiusclient/radiusclient.conf as the configuration file.
avpair attribute=value
Adds an Attribute-Value pair to be passed on to the RADIUS server on each request.
map-to-ifname
Sets Radius NAS-Port attribute to number equal to interface name (Default)
map-to-ttyname
Sets Radius NAS-Port attribute value via libradiusclient library
USAGE
To use the plugin, simply supply the plugin radius.so option to pppd, and edit /etc/radiusclient/radiusclient.conf appropriately. If you
use the RADIUS plugin, the normal pppd authentication schemes (login, checking the /etc/ppp/*-secrets files) are skipped. The RADIUS
server should assign an IP address to the peer using the RADIUS Framed-IP-Address attribute.
