LOGIN_RADIUS(8)		  BSD System Manager's Manual	       LOGIN_RADIUS(8)

NAME
     login_radius - contact radiusd for authentication

SYNOPSIS
     login_radius [-s service] user [class]

DESCRIPTION
     The login_radius utility contacts the radiusd(8) daemon to authenticate a
     user.  When executed as the name login_style it will request radiusd(8)
     to use the authentication specified by style.

     The login_radius utility needs to know a shared secret for each radius
     server it talks to.  Shared secrets are stored in the file
     /etc/raddb/servers with the format:

     server shared_secret

     The primary and possible secondary radius servers are defined in the
     login.conf 5 file by the fields: radius-server and radius-server-alt.

     It is expected that rather than requesting the radius style directly (in
     which case the radiusd(8) server uses a default style) that login_radius
     will be linked to the various mechanisms desired.	For instance, to have
     all CRYPTOCard and ActivCard authentication take place on a remote server
     via the radius protocol, remove the login_activ and login_crypto modules
     and link login_radius to both of those names.  Now when the user requests
     one of those authentication styles, login_radius will automatically for-
     ward the request to the remote radiusd(8) and request it do the requested
     style of authentication.

     Unless the the style being used is listed in the radius-challenge-styles
     entry of the /etc/login.conf file, a password will be requested before
     sending the request to the radius server.
