Warning: This page is written for the new FreeRADIUS version 2 variant of radius.lrp, not the old Cistron RADIUS v1.6.8 radius.lrp which is included in Bering-uClibc 4.0. The new Package, based on FreeRADIUS version 2.1.10, is expected to be included in Bering-uClibc 4.1. Davidmbrooke 14:15, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Introduction

This page provides some guidance on setting up a Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) server on Bering-uClibc 4.x using the FreeRADIUS software.

A RADIUS server provides an Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) service. Typical use cases include:

  • Authenticating Wireless Network clients which use the "WPA-Enterprise" (as opposed to "WPA-PSK") authentication model. Here, a Wireless Network Access Point is often configured to talk the RADIUS protocol to a server which knows how to authenticate users/clients.
