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.

RADIUS Per-Command Configuration Example
Building on this example configuration, you can use RADIUS to perform per-command authentication
to differentiate user capabilities. To do so, use the Extreme-modified RADIUS Merit software that is
available from the Extreme Networks web server at
http://www.extremenetworks.com/extreme/support/otherapps.htm or by contacting Extreme
Networks technical support. The software is available in compiled format for Solaris
™
or Linux
™
operating systems, as well as in source code format. For all clients that use RADIUS per-command
authentication, you must add the following type to the client file:
type:extreme:nas + RAD_RFC + ACCT_RFC
