RADIUS Server on Fedora

RADIUS Server is commonly used in network AAA. It provides authentication by UDP port 1812, accounting by UDP port 1813 and proxy by UDP 1814. To setup RADIUS Server on Fedora is simply.

First, we need install Free Radius to Fedora

sudo yum -y install freeradius

Then, we need to configure client.conf file

vi /etc/raddb/client.conf
…
client 192.168.50.60/24 {
secret = 1a2b3c4d
shortname = freeradius
}

Then, we need assign user name and password

vi /etc/raddb/users
…
“John Smith” ClearText-Password := “cowsgomoon”

Later on, we can start radius deamon by -X option for debugging purpose.

radiusd -X

Of course, you can start radius server by using service command

service radiusd start
