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