Parameter Description Value for

This Example

all.authtype There are several authentication type options: local (authentication is

performed using the /etc/passwd file), radius (authentication is performed

using a Radius authentication server), none, local/radius (authentication

is performed locally first, switching to Radius if unsuccessful),

radius/local (the opposite of the previous option) and RadiusDownLocal

(local authentication is tried only when the Radius server is down). Note

that this parameter controls the authentication required by the Cyclades-

TS. The authentication required by the device to which the user is

connecting is controlled separately.

radius

all.authhost1 This address indicates the location of the Radius authentication server

and is only necessary if this option is chosen in the previous parameter.

A second Radius authentication server can be configured with the

parameter all.authhost2.

200.200.200.2

all.accthost1 This address indicates the location of the Radius accounting server,

which can be used to track how long users are connected after being

authorized by the authentication server. Its use is optional.

200.200.200.2

all.radtimeout This is the timeout (in seconds) for a radius authentication query. The

first server (authhost1) is tried "radretries" times, and then the second (if

configured) is contacted "radretries" times. If the second also fails to

respond, Radius authentication fails.

all.radretries Defines the number of times each Radius server is tried before another is

contacted. The default, if not configured, is 5.

all.secret This is the shared secret necessary for communication between the

Cyclades-TS and the Radius servers.
