PAM_RADIUS(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual PAM_RADIUS(8)
NAME
pam_radius - RADIUS authentication PAM module
SYNOPSIS
[service-name] module-type control-flag pam_radius [options]
DESCRIPTION
The pam_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 in Access-Accept and Access-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.
