pam_radius -- RADIUS authentication PAM module
[service-name] module-type control-flag pam_radius [options]
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.
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
doesn't 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.
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.
