RADIUS Server Configuration Example (Merit)
Many implementations of RADIUS server use the publicly available Merit
©
AAA server application,
available on the World Wide Web at:
http://www.merit.edu/aaa
Included below are excerpts from relevant portions of a sample Merit RADIUS server implementation.
The example shows excerpts from the client and user configuration files. The client configuration file
(
ClientCfg.txt) defines the authorized source machine, source name, and access level. The user
configuration file (
users) defines username, password, and service type information.
