49.Op Ar options
50.Sh DESCRIPTION
51The
52.Nm
53module provides authentication services based
54upon the RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) protocol
55for the PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module) framework.
56.Pp
57The
58.Nm
59module accepts these optional parameters:
60.Bl -tag -width Fl
61.It Cm use_first_pass
62causes
63.Nm
64to use a previously entered password instead of prompting for a new one.
65If no password has been entered then authentication fails.
66.It Cm try_first_pass
67causes
68.Nm
69to use a previously entered password, if one is available.
70If no
71password has been entered,
72.Nm
73prompts for one as usual.
74.It Cm echo_pass
75causes echoing to be left on if
76.Nm
77prompts for a password.
78.It Cm conf Ns = Ns Ar pathname
79specifies a non-standard location for the RADIUS client configuration file
80(normally located in
81.Pa /etc/radius.conf ) .
82.It Cm nas_id Ns = Ns Ar identifier
83specifies a NAS identifier to send instead of the hostname.
84.It Cm nas_ipaddr Ns Op No = Ns Ar address
85specifies a NAS IP address to be sent.
86If option is present, but there is no value provided then IP address
87corresponding to the current hostname will be used.
88.It Cm template_user Ns = Ns Ar username
89specifies a user whose
90.Xr passwd 5
91entry will be used as a template to create the session environment
92if the supplied username does not exist in local password database.
93The user
94will be authenticated with the supplied username and password, but his
95credentials to the system will be presented as the ones for
96.Ar username ,
97i.e., his login class, home directory, resource limits, etc.\& will be set to ones
98defined for
99.Ar username .
100.Pp
101If this option is omitted, and there is no username
102in the system databases equal to the supplied one (as determined by call to
103.Xr getpwnam 3 ) ,
104the authentication will fail.

107.Cm Reply-Message
108attributes found in
