radiusd.conf(5)		 FreeRADIUS configuration file	       radiusd.conf(5)

NAME
       radiusd.conf - configuration file for the FreeRADIUS server

DESCRIPTION
       The  radiusd.conf  file	resides	 in  the radius database directory, by
       default /etc/raddb.   It	 defines  the  global  configuration  for  the
       FreeRADIUS RADIUS server.

CONTENTS
       There  are  a  large number of configuration parameters for the server.
       Most are documented in the file itself as comments.   This  page	 docu‐
       ments  only  the format of the file.  Please read the radiusd.conf file
       itself for more information.

       The configuration file parser is independent of the  server  configura‐
       tion.   This means that you can put almost anything into the configura‐
       tion file.  So long as it is properly formatted, the server will start.

       When the server parses the configuration file, it looks only for	 those
       configurations  it understands.	Extra configuration items are ignored.
       This "feature" can be (ab)used in certain interesting ways.

FILE FORMAT
       The file format is  line-based,	like  many  other  Unix	 configuration
       files.	Each  entry  in	 the  file must be placed on a line by itself,
       although continuations are supported.

       The file consists of configuration items (variable = value pairs), sec‐
       tions, and comments.

       Variables
	      Variables can be set via:

		   name = value

	      Single and double-quoted strings are permitted:

		   string1 = "hello world"
		   string2 = 'hello mom'

       Sections
	      A	 section begins with a section name, followed on the same line
	      by an open bracket '{'.  Section	may  contain  other  sections,
	      comments,	 or  variables.	  Sections may be nested to any depth,
	      limited only by available memory.	 A section ends with  a	 close
	      bracket ´}', on a line by itself.

		   section {
			...
		   }

	      Sections	can  sometimes	have a second name following the first
	      one.  The situations where this is legal depend on the  context.
	      See  the examples and comments in the radiusd.conf file for more
	      information.

		   section foo {
			...
		   }

       Comments
	      Any line beginning with a (#) is deemed to be a comment, and  is
	      ignored.	 Comments can appear after a variable or section defi‐
	      nitions.

		   # comment
		   foo = bar # set variable 'foo' to value 'bar'
		   section { # start of section
		   ...
		   }	     # end of section

       Continuations
	      Long lines can be broken up via continuations, using '\' as  the
	      last character of the line.  For example, the following entry:

		   foo = "blah \
		   blah \
		   blah"

	      will  set	 the  value of the variable "foo" to "blah blah blah".
	      Any CR or LF is not turned into a space, but  all	 other	white‐
	      space is preserved in the final value.

REFERENCES
       The  value  of a variable can reference another variable.  These refer‐
       ences are evaluated when the configuration file is loaded, which	 means
       that  there  is no run-time cost associated with them.  This feature is
       most useful for turning long, repeated pieces of text into short ones.

       Variables are referenced by ${variable_name}, as in the following exam‐
       ples.

	    foo = bar	    # set variable 'foo' to value 'bar'
	    who = ${foo}    # sets variable 'who' to value of variable 'foo'
	    my = "${foo} a" # sets variable 'my' to "bar a"

       If the variable exists in a section or subsection, it can be referenced
       as ${section.subsection.variable}.  Forward references are not allowed.
       Relative	 references  are  allowed, by pre-pending the name with one or
       more period.

	    blogs = ${.foo}

       Will set variable blogs to the value of variable foo, from the  current
       section.

	    blogs = ${..foo}

       Will  set variable blogs to the value of variable foo, from the section
       which contains the current section.

	    blogs = ${modules.detail.detailfile}

       Will set variable blogs to the value of	variable  detailfile,  of  the
       detail  module,	which  is  in the modules section of the configuration
       file.
