Differencent assigments in users files

Reply to Author | View Threaded | Show Only this Message

Hello,

I'am a newbee in freeradius but after reading o'reilly's Radius book for dummies i still can't figure out what the difference is between := == and = in the usersfile.
steve Auth-Type := Local, User-Password == " Testing" etc.
I also see notations like Jonathan Password = Unix-PW.
In the end my config seems to work but I'm wondering if i'm missing out on something important.

Explanation or an url would be very appreciated !

Greetings Marcel

It should read

Cleartext-Password := "Testing"


In FreeRadius passwords are assigned ( := ) not compared ( == ).

That's out of date. man 5 users on the radius server will be up-to-date
(ie documentation is included with the server).

O'Reilly's book is also out of date. Updated documentation is available
with server source. Look through that info first.
