RADTEST(1)

NAME
radtest -- send packets to a RADIUS server, show reply

SYNOPSIS
radtest [-d raddb_directory] user password radius-server nas-port-id secret [ppphint] [nasname]

DESCRIPTION
radtest is a frontend to radclient(1). It generates a list of attribute/value pairs based on the command line arguments, and feeds these into radclient. It's a fast and convenient way to test a radius server.

OPTIONS

-d raddb_directory
    The directory that contains the RADIUS dictionary files. Defaults to /etc/raddb.

user
    Username to send.

password
    Password of the user.

radius-server
    Hostname or IP address of the radius server. Optionally, you may specify a port by appending :port

nas-port-id
    The value of the NAS-Port-Id attribute. Is an integer between 0 and 2^31, and it really doesn't matter what you put here. 10 will do fine.

secret
    The shared secret for this client.

ppphint
    If you put an integer > 0 here, radtest (or actually radclient) will add the attribute Framed-Protocol = PPP to the request packet.

nasname
    If present, this will be resolved to an IP address and added to the request packet as the NAS-IP-Address attribute. If you don't specify it, the local hostname of the system will be used.
