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.
