NAME
       radius.so - RADIUS authentication plugin for pppd(8)

SYNOPSIS
       pppd [ options ] plugin radius.so

DESCRIPTION
       The  RADIUS  plugin for pppd permits pppd to perform PAP, CHAP, MS-CHAP and MS-CHAPv2 authentication against a RADIUS
       server instead of the usual /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and /etc/ppp/chap-secrets files.

       The RADIUS plugin is built on a library called radiusclient  which  has	its  own  configuration	 files	(usually  in
       /etc/radiusclient), consult those files for more information on configuring the RADIUS plugin

OPTIONS
       The RADIUS plugin introduces one additional pppd option:

       radius-config-file filename
	      The  file filename is taken as the radiusclient configuration file.  If this option is not used, then the plu‐
	      gin uses /etc/radiusclient/radiusclient.conf as the configuration file.

       avpair attribute=value
	      Adds an Attribute-Value pair to be passed on to the RADIUS server on each request.

       map-to-ifname
	      Sets Radius NAS-Port attribute to number equal to interface name (Default)

       map-to-ttyname
	      Sets Radius NAS-Port attribute value via libradiusclient library

USAGE
       To use the plugin, simply supply the plugin radius.so option to pppd,  and  edit	 /etc/radiusclient/radiusclient.conf
       appropriately.	If  you	 use  the  RADIUS  plugin,  the	 normal	 pppd  authentication  schemes	(login, checking the
       /etc/ppp/*-secrets files) are skipped.  The RADIUS server should assign an IP address to the peer  using	 the  RADIUS
       Framed-IP-Address attribute.
