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.

		   not specified.

		   Unique identifier identifying this Squid proxy to the RADIUS server.  If not specified the IP address is used to  identify  the
