.TH clients.conf 5 "13 June 2005" "" "FreeRADIUS client configuration" .SH NAME clients.conf \- FreeRADIUS client configuration .SH DESCRIPTION The .I clients.conf file contains definitions of RADIUS clients. .PP The information in this file overrides any information provided in the deprecated .BR clients (5) and .BR naslist (5) files. .PP The file format is the same as that used for .I radiusd.conf. See .BR radiusd.conf (5) for more details. .PP Each RADIUS client entry has the following basic form: .IP .nf client { = } .fi .SH ATTRIBUTES The attributes that can appear in a .B client section are listed below. Required attributes are labelled as such. All other attributes are optional. .TP 0.5i .B ipaddr [Required] The IP address of the client. For IPv6, use "ipv6addr" .TP 0.5i .B secret [Required] The RADIUS shared secret used for communication between the client/NAS and the RADIUS server. .TP 0.5i .B shortname [optional] A short alias that can be used in place of the IP address or fully qualified hostname provided in the first line of the section. .TP 0.5i .B nastype The nastype attribute is used to tell the .BR checkrad.pl script which NAS-specific method it should use when checking simultaneous use. The following values are currently recognized: .nf cisco computone livingston max40xx multitech netserver pathras patton portslave tc usrhiper other .fi .TP 0.5i .B login Reserved for future use. .TP 0.5i .B password Reserved for future use. .SH EXAMPLES .IP .nf client localhost { ipaddr = 127.0.0.1 secret = testing123 shortname = localhost nastype = other } .fi .LP This adds a client for the loopback address. This is useful in testing the server locally, for example with .BR radclient (1). .IP .nf client private-network-1 { ipaddr = 192.168.0.0 netmask = 24 secret = testing123-1 shortname = private-network-1 } .fi .LP This entry represents any client from the 192.168.0.0/24 network. The old-style format from 1.x is still accepted by the server, but that form is deprecated. .SH FILES .I /etc/raddb/clients.conf .I /etc/raddb/radiusd.conf .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR radiusd (8), .BR radiusd.conf (5), .BR clients (5), .BR naslist (5) .SH AUTHOR FreeRADIUS is authored by the FreeRADIUS team. http://freeradius.org/
