-# The information given here over rides anything given in the
-# 'clients' file, or in the 'naslist' file. The configuration here
-# contains all of the information from those two files, and allows
-# for more configuration items.

-# "password" fields are mainly used for checkrad and are optional.

# '127.0.0.1' is another name for 'localhost'. It is enabled by default,

-client 127.0.0.1 {

+
+#
+# Each client has a "short name" that is used to distinguish it from
+# other clients.
+#
+# In version 1.x, the string after the word "client" was the IP
+# address of the client. In 2.0, the IP address is configured via
+# the "ipaddr" or "ipv6addr" fields. For compatibility, the 1.x
+# format is still accepted.
+#
+client localhost {
+ # Allowed values are:
+ # dotted quad (1.2.3.4)
+ # hostname (radius.example.com)

+ # at the same time.

+ # The transport protocol.
+ #
+ # If unspecified, defaults to "udp", which is the traditional
+ # RADIUS transport. It may also be "tcp", in which case the
+ # server will accept connections from this client ONLY over TCP.
+ #
+ proto = *
+
+ #
+ # A note on DNS: We STRONGLY recommend using IP addresses
+ # rather than host names. Using host names means that the
+ # server will do DNS lookups when it starts, making it
+ # dependent on DNS. i.e. If anything goes wrong with DNS,
+ # the server won't start!
+ #
+ # The server also looks up the IP address from DNS once, and
+ # only once, when it starts. If the DNS record is later
+ # updated, the server WILL NOT see that update.
+ #
+
+ # One client definition can be applied to an entire network.
+ # e.g. 127/8 should be defined with "ipaddr = 127.0.0.0" and
+ # "netmask = 8"
+ #
+ # If not specified, the default netmask is 32 (i.e. /32)
+ #
+ # We do NOT recommend using anything other than 32. There
+ # are usually other, better ways to achieve the same goal.
+ # Using netmasks of other than 32 can cause security issues.
+ #
+ # You can specify overlapping networks (127/8 and 127.0/16)
+ # In that case, the smallest possible network will be used
+ # as the "best match" for the client.
+ #
+ # Clients can also be defined dynamically at run time, based
+ # on any criteria. e.g. SQL lookups, keying off of NAS-Identifier,
+ # etc.
+ # See raddb/sites-available/dynamic-clients for details.
+ #
+
+# netmask = 32

#
# The shared secret use to "encrypt" and "sign" packets between
# the NAS and FreeRADIUS. You MUST change this secret from the
# default, otherwise it's not a secret any more!
#
- # The secret can be any string, up to 32 characters in length.
+ # The secret can be any string, up to 8k characters in length.

+ # e.g. "\101\102" == "AB"
+ # Quotation marks can be entered by escaping them,
+ # e.g. "foo\"bar"
+ #
+ # A note on security: The security of the RADIUS protocol
+ # depends COMPLETELY on this secret! We recommend using a
+ # shared secret that is composed of:
+ #
+ # upper case letters
+ # lower case letters
+ # numbers
+ #
+ # And is at LEAST 8 characters long, preferably 16 characters in
+ # length. The secret MUST be random, and should not be words,
+ # phrase, or anything else that is recognizable.

+ # The default secret below is only for testing, and should
+ # not be used in any real environment.

+ # Old-style clients do not send a Message-Authenticator
+ # in an Access-Request. RFC 5080 suggests that all clients

+ # not, then the packet will be silently discarded.
