Beginner need help

[Frank Wei]

Hi,

I've downloaded "freeradius-client-1.1.6.tar.bz2" and untarted. Then I tried to installed as following:

./configure
Make install

Now I want to test this client (I have already installed freeradius server on the same LINUX PC and this server proved to be working).

The only useful information on the freeradius client is

radiusclient [-f config_file] [-p nas_port] [-s | [-a] a1=v1 [a2=v2[...[aN=vN]...]]]

Not how to use above to test the client. How can I create the "config_file" ?

Best Regards,
Frank

Hi,

> The users file I edited is in etc/raddb. testing Cleartext-Password := "password"

which etc/raddb ? the one in the source tree or the one that got installed? do you have multiple copies
of freeradius installed?

read the radiusd -X  debug putput to see which users file it is editing, then edit that file

also, after editing the file you need to restart the server or your changes wont be picked up
