rlm_unix(5)							 FreeRADIUS Module						       rlm_unix(5)

NAME
rlm_unix - FreeRADIUS Module DESCRIPTION
The rlm_unix module reads crypt(3) passwords from the system password file, and allows the server to use them for authentication. The mod- ule also provides FreeRADIUS an interface into a radwtmp file (used by "radlast") when added to the accounting section. The rlm_unix module does provides the functionality for "Auth-Type = System". The module should be listed in the "authenticate" section. Please see the default radiusd.conf shipped with the server for an example of the correct usage of this module. As of FreeRADIUS 1.1.0, the module no longer reads, or caches /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, or /etc/group. If you wish to cache those files, see rlm_passwd. Most, if not all, configurations should not need those files to be cached. The main configuration items to be aware of are: radwtmp The path to the system wtmp file to be used for keeping the database of online users as read by the 'radlast' program. CONFIGURATION

NAME
rlm_always - FreeRADIUS Module DESCRIPTION
The rlm_always module provides a simple way to "always" return a value during the processing of a configuration section. The module does nothing other than return a configured value. The main configuration item to be aware of is: rcode This module will always return with the rcode specified. The default, if none specified is: fail (RLM_MODULE_FAIL). The valid options are: reject RLM_MODULE_REJECT fail RLM_MODULE_FAIL ok RLM_MODULE_OK handled RLM_MODULE_HANDLED invalid RLM_MODULE_INVALID userlock RLM_MODULE_USERLOCK notfound RLM_MODULE_NOTFOUND noop RLM_MODULE_NOOP updated RLM_MODULE_UPDATED CONFIGURATION

FreeRADIUS VMPS Configuration

I could use some help with freeradius configuration. If there is any expert user out there kind enough to give me a hand, would really appreciate it. Goal: We are trying to use the freeRADIUS server's VMPS integration feature. Unfortunately the wiki pages do not have real life deployment... (0 Replies)
