-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Net::Radius Modules =================== The modules included here provide an interface to the RADIUS protocol. It consists of the following modules: Net::Radius::Packet - Deals with RADIUS packets Net::Radius::Dictionary - Deals with RADIUS dictionaries This module is essentially the original RADIUS-1.0 distribution by Christopher Masto plus a number of changes and fixes by Luis Muñoz and Ian Smith. It has been changed so that it better fits the CPAN namespace. See the other README.* files in this archive for additional information. The installation follows the standard protocol... $ perl Makefile.PL $ make $ make test $ make install The ./examples directory contain a number of simple examples. This code supports the use of vendor specific attributes. This type of attribute is defined in RFC-2138 and is used to support 'propietary' extensions on top of the base RADIUS specification. There are two new kinds of entries in the RADIUS dictionary in order to specify VSAs. VENDORATTR This entry is used to create a new kind of vendor attribute, such as in this example VENDORATTR 9 cisco-avpair 1 string This creates a new vendor-specific attribute for vendor 9 (Cisco Systems), with name 'cisco-avpair'. This attribute is identified by numeric id '1' and is associated with a string value. The second type of entry allows the specification of named values. The following is an hypotetical example of named value entry. VENDORATTR 9 cisco-enum 254 integer VENDORVALUE 9 cisco-enum Value-1 1 VENDORVALUE 9 cisco-enum Value-2 2 VENDORVALUE 9 cisco-enum Value-3 3 Alternatively, you can use the widely deployed FreeRadius dictionary files' syntax of: VENDOR Cisco 9 ATTRIBUTE Cisco-AVPair 1 string Cisco About the stability, this code has been in very active use at a largish ISP with millions of users using a variety of network equipment with impressive results. It has been succesfully used under FreeBSD, Linux, Solaris and Tru64. There's copious support material along with this distribution. Please do take a look. DO YOU WANT TO THANK ME?
