clients.conf(5)                        FreeRADIUS client configuration                       clients.conf(5)



NAME
       clients.conf - FreeRADIUS client configuration

DESCRIPTION
       The clients.conf file contains definitions of RADIUS clients.

       The  information  in  this  file  overrides any information provided in the deprecated clients(5) and
       naslist(5) files.

       The file format is the same as that used for radiusd.conf.  See radiusd.conf(5) for more details.

       Each RADIUS client entry has the following basic form:

              client <short-name> {
                     <attribute> = <value>
               }

ATTRIBUTES
       The attributes that can appear in a client section are listed below. Required attributes are labelled
       as such. All other attributes are optional.

       ipaddr [Required]
            The IP address of the client.  For IPv6, use "ipv6addr"

       secret [Required]
            The RADIUS shared secret used for communication between the client/NAS and the RADIUS server.

       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.

       nastype
            The nastype attribute is used to tell the checkrad.pl script which NAS-specific method it should
            use when checking simultaneous use.

            The following values are currently recognized:
            cisco
            computone
            livingston
            max40xx
            multitech
            netserver
            pathras
            patton
            portslave
            tc
            usrhiper
            other

       login
            Reserved for future use.

       password
            Reserved for future use.

EXAMPLES
              client localhost {
                      ipaddr          = 127.0.0.1
                      secret          = testing123
                      shortname       = localhost
                      nastype         = other
              }

       This  adds a client for the loopback address. This is useful in testing the server locally, for exam-ple example
       ple with radclient(1).

              client private-network-1 {
                      ipaddr          = 192.168.0.0
                      netmask         = 24
                      secret          = testing123-1
                      shortname       = private-network-1
              }

       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.
