Commands for configuring RADIUS authentication. Also see the corresponding article.

config security radius host

Set the IP address of the authentication server that Nginx will contact when a log-in is attempted.

config security radius host <IP address>

Example output:

[Wed Dec 18 07:00:51 2024] > config security radius host 192.168.255.255
[Wed Dec 18 07:00:52 2024] Changes made successfully.

Note:

  • Multiple addresses, separated by whitespace, can be given using double quotation marks, e.g. config security radius host "192.168.255.254 192.168.255.255".

config security radius protocol

Set the value for the Framed-Protocol attribute sent to the authentication server. Valid values for <protocol> include PPP and SLIP.

config security radius protocol <protocol>

Example output:

[Wed Dec 18 07:01:08 2024] > config security radius protocol PPP
[Wed Dec 18 07:01:09 2024] Changes made successfully.

Note:

  • Use config security radius protocol "" to unset the protocol. Be aware that single quotation marks cannot be used in place of double quotation marks.

config security radius secret

Set the shared secret that gets sent to the authentication server.

config security radius secret <string>

Example output:

[Wed Dec 18 07:01:22 2024] > config security radius protocol "hello world"
[Wed Dec 18 07:01:23 2024] Changes made successfully.

Note:

  • Use config security radius protocol "" to unset the secret. Be aware that single quotation marks cannot be used in place of double quotation marks.
