NAME
       squid_radius_auth - Squid RADIUS authentication helper

SYNOPSIS
       squid_radius_auth -f configfile
       squid_radius_auth -h "server" [-p port] [-i identifier] -w secret

DESCRIPTION
       This  helper allows Squid to connect to a RADIUS server to validate the
       user name and password of Basic HTTP authentication.

       -f configfile
	      Specifies the path to a configuration file. See  the  CONFIGURA‐
	      TION section for details.

       -h server
	      Alternative method of specifying the server to connect to

       -p port
	      Specify  another server port where the RADIUS server listens for
	      requests if different from the default  RADIUS  port.   Normally
	      not specified.

       -i identifier
	      Unique  identifier  identifying  this  Squid proxy to the RADIUS
	      server.  If not specified the IP address is used as to  identify
	      the proxy.

       -w secret
	      Alternative  method  of  specifying the shared secret. Using the
	      configuration file is generally more secure and recommended.

       -t timeout
	      RADIUS request timeout. Default 10 seconds.

CONFIGURATION

       file contains a list of directives (one per line). Lines beginning with
       a # is ignored.

       server radiusserver
	      specifies the name or address of the RADIUS  server  to  connect
	      to.

       secret somesecretstring
	      specifies the shared RADIUS secret.

       identifier nameofserver
	      specifies what the proxy should identify itsels as to the RADIUS
	      server.  This directive is optional.

       port portnumber
	      Specifies the port number	 or  service  name  where  the	helper
	      should connect.
