+ # The number one way to protect yourself from the BlastRADIUS

+ # then your network is safe. You can then upgrade the
+ # clients when it is convenient, instead of rushing the
+ # upgrades.
+ #
+ # This flag sets the global default for all clients and home
+ # servers. It can be over-ridden in an individual client or
+ # home_server definition by adding the same flag to that
+ # section with an appropriate value.
+ #
+ # All upgraded RADIUS implementations should send
+ # Message-Authenticator in all Access-Request, Access-Accept,
+ # Access-Reject, and Access-Challenge packets. Once all
+ # systems are upgraded, setting this flag to "yes" is the
+ # best protection from the attack.
+ #
+ # The possible values and meanings for
+ # "require_message_authenticator" are;
+ #
+ # * "no" - allow Access-* packet which do not contain
+ # Message-Authenticator
+ #
+ # For a client, if this flag is set to "no", then the
+ # "limit_proxy_state" flag, below, is also checked.
+ #
+ # For a home_server, if this flag is set to "no", then the
+ # Access-Accept, Access-Reject, and Access-Challenge
+ # packets do not need to contain Message-Authenticator.
+ #
+ # The only reason to set this flag to "no" is when the
+ # RADIUS client or home server has not been updated. It is
+ # always safer to set this flag "no" in the individual
+ # client or home_server definition. The global flag SHOULD
+ # still be set to a safe value: "yes".
+ #
+ # WARNING: Setting this flag and the "limit_proxy_state"

+ # protection against the attack.
+ #
+ # * "yes" - Require that all Access-* packets (client and
+ # home_server) contain Message-Authenticator. If a packet
+ # does not contain Message-Authenticator, then it is

+ #
+ # If the packet contains Message-Authenticator but not

+ # contains EAP-Message. So having a Message-Authenticator
+ # in those packets doesn't give the server enough
+ # information to determined if the client or home_server
+ # has been updated.
+ #
+ # If the packet contains Message-Authenticator and
+ # EAP-Message, then the flag is left at the "auto" value.
