It defines the global configuration for +the FreeRADIUS RADIUS server. +.SH "CONTENTS" +There are a large number of configuration parameters for the server. +Most are documented in the file itself as comments. This page +documents only the format of the file. Please read the +\fBradiusd.conf\fP file itself for more information. + +The configuration file parser is independent of the server +configuration. This means that you can put almost anything into the +configuration file. So long as it is properly formatted, the server +will start. + +When the server parses the configuration file, it looks only for those +configurations it understands. Extra configuration items are ignored. +This "feature" can be (ab)used in certain interesting ways. +.SH "FILE FORMAT" +The file format is line-based, like many other Unix configuration +files. Each entry in the file must be placed on a line by itself, +although continuations are supported. + +The file consists of configuration items (variable = value pairs), +sections, and comments. +.IP Variables +Variables can be set via: + +.DS +.br + name = value +.DE + +Single and double-quoted strings are permitted: + +.DS +.br + string1 = "hello world" +.br + string2 = 'hello mom' +.DE +.IP Sections +A section begins with a section name, followed on the same line by an +open bracket '\fB{\fP'. Section may contain other sections, comments, or +variables. Sections may be nested to any depth, limited +only by available memory. A section ends with a close bracket +\'\fB}\fP', on a line by itself. + +.DS +.br + section { +.br + ... +.br + } +.DE + +Sections can sometimes have a second name following the first one. +The situations where this is legal depend on the context. See the +examples and comments in the \fBradiusd.conf\fP file for more +information. + +.DS +.br + section foo { +.br + ... +.br + } +.DE +.IP Comments +Any line beginning with a (\fB#\fP) is deemed to be a comment, and is +ignored. Comments can appear after a variable or section definitions. + +.DS +.br + # comment +.br + foo = bar # set variable 'foo' to value 'bar' +.br + section { # start of section +.br + ... +.br + } # end of section +.DE +.IP Continuations +Long lines can be broken up via continuations, using '\\' as the last +character of the line. For example, the following entry: + +.DS +.br + foo = "blah \\ +.br + blah \\ +.br + blah" +.DE + +will set the value of the variable "foo" to "blah blah blah". Any CR +or LF is not turned into a space, but all other whitespace is +preserved in the final value. +.SH "REFERENCES" +The value of a variable can reference another variable. These +references are evaluated when the configuration file is loaded, which +means that there is no run-time cost associated with them. This +feature is most useful for turning long, repeated pieces of text into +short ones. + +Variables are referenced by ${variable_name}, as in the following examples. + +.DS + foo = bar # set variable 'foo' to value 'bar' +.br + who = ${foo} # sets variable 'who' to value of variable 'foo' +.br + my = "${foo} a" # sets variable 'my' to "bar a" +.DE + +If the variable exists in a section or subsection, it can be +referenced as ${section.subsection.variable}. Forward references are +not allowed. Relative references are allowed, by pre-pending the name +with one or more period. + +.DS + blogs = ${.foo} + +.DE +Will set variable \fBblogs\fP to the value of variable \fBfoo\fP, +from the current section. + +.DS + blogs = ${..foo} + +.DE +Will set variable \fBblogs\fP to the value of variable \fBfoo\fP, from the +section which contains the current section. + +.DS + blogs = ${modules.detail.filename} + +.DE +Will set variable \fBblogs\fP to the value of variable \fBfilename\fP, +of the \fBdetail\fP module, which is in the \fBmodules\fP section of +the configuration file. + +Properties of anonymous parent sections may also be referenced, currently +\fBname\fP and \fBinstance\fP are supported. + +.DS + modules { + example foo { + file = ${.:name} + } + } + +.DE +Will set variable \fBfile\fP to the name of the containing section (example). + +.DS + modules { + example foo { + file = ${.:instance} + } + } + +.DE +Will set variable \fBfile\fP to the instance name of the containing +section (foo). + +.DS + modules { + example foo { + file = ${..:name} + } + } + +.DE +Will set variable \fBfile\fP to the name of the parent of the containing +section (modules). +.SH FILES +/etc/raddb/radiusd.conf +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR radiusd (8) +.BR unlang (5) +.SH AUTHOR +Alan DeKok <aland@freeradius.org> |
