45.Ar control-flag
46.Pa pam_radius
47.Op Ar options
48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49The
50.Nm
51module provides authentication services based
52upon the RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) protocol
53for the PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module) framework.
54.Pp
55The
56.Nm
57module accepts these optional parameters:
58.Bl -tag -width Fl
59.It Cm use_first_pass
60causes
61.Nm
62to use a previously entered password instead of prompting for a new one.
63If no password has been entered then authentication fails.
64.It Cm try_first_pass
65causes
66.Nm
67to use a previously entered password, if one is available.
68If no
69password has been entered,
70.Nm
71prompts for one as usual.
72.It Cm echo_pass
73causes echoing to be left on if
74.Nm
75prompts for a password.
76.It Cm conf Ns = Ns Ar pathname
77specifies a non-standard location for the RADIUS client configuration file
78(normally located in
79.Pa /etc/radius.conf ) .
80.It Cm nas_id Ns = Ns Ar identifier
81specifies a NAS identifier to send instead of the hostname.
82.It Cm nas_ipaddr Ns Op No = Ns Ar address
83specifies a NAS IP address to be sent.
84If option is present, but there is no value provided then IP address
85corresponding to the current hostname will be used.
86.It Cm template_user Ns = Ns Ar username
87specifies a user whose
88.Xr passwd 5
89entry will be used as a template to create the session environment
90if the supplied username does not exist in local password database.
91The user
92will be authenticated with the supplied username and password, but his
93credentials to the system will be presented as the ones for
94.Ar username ,
95i.e., his login class, home directory, resource limits, etc.\& will be set to ones
96defined for
97.Ar username .
98.Pp
99If this option is omitted, and there is no username
100in the system databases equal to the supplied one (as determined by call to
101.Xr getpwnam 3 ) ,
102the authentication will fail.
103.It Cm no_reply_message

105.Cm Reply-Message
106attributes found in
107.Cm Access-Accept
108and

113or rejected.
