NAME
       basic_radius_auth - Squid RADIUS authentication helper


SYNOPSIS
       basic_radius_auth -f config file
       basic_radius_auth -h " server name " [-p port ] [-i identifier ] -w secret [-t timeout ]


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


OPTIONS
       -f configfile
                   Specifies the path to a configuration file. See the CONFIGURATION section for details on  the
                   file content.

       -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 to identify the proxy.

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

       -t timeout  RADIUS request timeout. Default is 10 seconds.


CONFIGURATION

       (one per line). Lines beginning with a # are ignored.

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

       secret somesecretstring
              specifies the shared RADIUS secret.

       identifier nameofserver
              specifies  what name the proxy should use to identify itself to the RADIUS server.  This directive
              is optional.

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