55 The RADIUS service module for PAM
56 provides authentication services based
57 upon the RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) protocol.
61 module accepts these optional parameters:
66 to use a previously entered password instead of prompting for a new one.
67 If no password has been entered then authentication fails.
71 to use a previously entered password, if one is available.
73 password has been entered,
75 prompts for one as usual.
77 causes echoing to be left on if
79 prompts for a password.
80 .It Cm conf Ns = Ns Ar pathname
81 specifies a non-standard location for the RADIUS client configuration file
83 .Pa /etc/radius.conf ) .
84 .It Cm nas_id Ns = Ns Ar identifier
85 specifies a NAS identifier to send instead of the hostname.
86 .It Cm template_user Ns = Ns Ar username
87 specifies a user whose
89 entry will be used as a template to create the session environment
90 if the supplied username does not exist in the local password database.
92 will be authenticated with the supplied username and password, but his
93 credentials to the system will be presented as the ones for
95 i.e., his login class, home directory, resource limits, etc.\& will be set to ones
99 If this option is omitted, and there is no username
100 in the system databases equal to the supplied one (as determined by call to
102 the authentication will fail.
103 .It Cm nas_ipaddr Ns Op No = Ns Ar address
104 specifies a NAS IP address to be sent.
105 If option is present, but there is no value provided then IP address
106 corresponding to the current hostname will be used.
