CLIENTS(5)CLIENTS(5)NAMEclients - 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 hostname
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 configā
ure the same secret on the client (terminal server) as in this
file.
The clients file is read by radiusd on startup only.
