Hi,
I have been using Radius server downloaded from freeradius.net website from quite a long time. For creating user id and password required for my clients to authenticate with my radius server, I usually configure user id and password using following command in user.conf file present in radius server.
<user id> Cleartext-Password := "<password>"
My queries are listed below.
1. I wanted to know whether, there is any limit for such configurations? How many user id's and password can be added to the file?
Lots and lots. The users file is parsed into a tree structure internally; it will be searched very quickly. This has been discussed on the list; search the archives. If I recall, it's many tens of thousands.
2. If we want to increase the limit, then what are the available options?
You shouldn't need to.
3. What is the normal CPU and memory usage of device where Radius server is installed and running? And what is the usage when maximum clients try to authenticate with the Radius.
There's no way to answer that question. It is too vague.
