Description

The radius module verifies that RADIUS authentication is functioning correctly. The module uses the radtest utility from the Cistron RADIUS package to test authentication against the host to be checked.

A problem is generated if authentication or authorization are unsuccessful for any reason. Reasons include bad username/password combination, bad secret key, authorization failure, etc.

Examples

  1. To test radius with example credentials:
         module radius {
           username abc123
           password myPass
           secret MySecretKey
         }
