CLIENTS(5)


NAME

  clients - RADIUS clients file


DESCRIPTION

  The clients file resides in the radius database directory, by default
  /etc/raddb. Its use is depreciated in favour of clients.conf.

  Every line starting with a hash sign ('#') is treated as comment and
  ignored.

  Each line of the file contains two white-space delimited fields.

  client
       The RADIUS clients hostname.  This may be a plain hostname, or a
       dotted-quad IP address.

  secret
       This is the so-called "shared secret" that is held between a RADIUS
       server and client. It is used to encrypt passwords in RADIUS packets,
       and also for authentication. You need to configure the same secret on
       the client (terminal server) as in this file.

  The clients file is read by radiusd on startup only.
