radtest - RADIUS server test program

radtest [ -afnrvx ] [ -d called_station_id ] [ -g calling_station_id ] [ -i id ] [ -p port ] [ -s secret ] [ -t type ] -u username password

radtest is a program useful to test the configuration of a running RADIUS daemon. You need to add localhost to servers' authorized clients. This program is a client for authentication protocol only, it does not manage accounting packets currently.

You could use it to test either the YARD RADIUS daemon or any other standard RADIUS server.

-d called_station_id

Sets the called station identifier for building packets.

-f

Sets user type to framed. This is overrided by -t option below.

-g calling_station_id
