Dear all Users, I want to understand more about this. When we talk about freeradius client, it will include a string of characters called secret. Is this sting an encryption key string or a password for the connection? What should be the appropriate length of this sting? Thanks for your response. Yours Faithfully, Timmy

It is a secret "token" shared by both the client and the server. That's the simplest explanation. Thinking of it as a password or encryption key is wrong.
What should be the appropriate length of this sting?
For secure systems, at least 16 bytes, taken from a random number generator. Alan DeKok.
