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

NAME
     pam_radius — RADIUS PAM module

SYNOPSIS
     [service-name] module-type control-flag pam_radius [options]

DESCRIPTION
     The RADIUS service module for PAM provides authentication services based
     upon the RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) protocol.

     The pam_radius module accepts these optional parameters:

     use_first_pass
		 causes pam_radius to use a previously entered password
		 instead of prompting for a new one.  If no password has been
		 entered then authentication fails.

     try_first_pass
		 causes pam_radius to use a previously entered password, if
		 one is available.  If no password has been entered,
		 pam_radius prompts for one as usual.

     echo_pass	 causes echoing to be left on if pam_radius prompts for a
		 password.

     conf=pathname
		 specifies a non-standard location for the RADIUS client con‐
		 figuration file (normally located in /etc/radius.conf).

     nas_id=identifier
		 specifies a NAS identifier to send instead of the hostname.

     template_user=username
		 specifies a user whose passwd(5) entry will be used as a tem‐
		 plate to create the session environment if the supplied user‐
		 name does not exist in the local password database.  The user
		 will be authenticated with the supplied username and pass‐
		 word, but his credentials to the system will be presented as
		 the ones for username, i.e., his login class, home directory,
		 resource limits, etc. will be set to ones defined for
		 username.

		 If this option is omitted, and there is no username in the
		 system databases equal to the supplied one (as determined by
		 call to getpwnam(3)), the authentication will fail.

     nas_ipaddr[=address]
		 specifies a NAS IP address to be sent.	 If option is present,
		 but there is no value provided then IP address corresponding
		 to the current hostname will be used.
