NAME
       basic_radius_auth - Squid RADIUS authentication helper

SYNOPSIS
       basic_radius_auth -f config file
       basic_radius_auth -h server name  port ] [-i identifier ] -w secret [-t timeout ]

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

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