NAME
pam_radius
—
RADIUS authentication PAM
module
SYNOPSIS
[service-name] module-type control-flag pam_radius [options]
DESCRIPTION
Thepam_radius
module provides authentication services
based upon the RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) protocol
for the PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module) framework.
The pam_radius
module accepts these
optional parameters:
use_first_pass
- causes
pam_radius
to use a previously entered password instead of prompting for a new one. If no password has been entered then authentication fails. try_first_pass
- causes
pam_radius
to use a previously entered password, if one is available. If no password has been entered,pam_radius
prompts for one as usual. echo_pass
- causes echoing to be left on if
pam_radius
prompts for a password. conf
=pathname- specifies a non-standard location for the RADIUS client configuration file (normally located in /etc/radius.conf).
nas_id
=identifier- specifies a NAS identifier to send instead of the hostname.
nas_ipaddr
[=address]- specifies a NAS IP address to be sent. If option is present, but there is no value provided then IP address corresponding to the current hostname will be used.
template_user
=username- specifies a user whose
passwd(5) entry will be used as a template to create the session
environment if the supplied username does not exist in local password
database. The user will be authenticated with the supplied username and
password, but his credentials to the system will be presented as the ones
for username, i.e., his login class, home directory,
resource limits, etc. will be set to ones defined for
username.
If this option is omitted, and there is no username in the system databases equal to the supplied one (as determined by call to getpwnam(3)), the authentication will fail.
no_reply_message
- suppress printing of the contents of any
Reply-Message
attributes found inAccess-Accept
andAccess-Reject
responses. These are normally conveyed to the user as either informational or error messages, depending on whether the access request was accepted or rejected. no_warn
- suppress warning messages to the user. These messages include reasons why the user's authentication attempt was declined.
FILES
- /etc/radius.conf
- The standard RADIUS client configuration file for
