Introduction – Basic usage of Auth_RADIUS

What is Auth_RADIUS?

Auth_RADIUS is a php wrapper around the php radius extension. If you are unfamiliar with the RADIUS protocol, the Wikipedia article provides an excellent introduction.

Auth_RADIUS is structured around the facilities built into the radius extension. Understanding Auth_RADIUS generally first requires a basic understanding of how the radius extension is designed. Documentation of the radius extension is available through the PHP manual at http://www.php.net/radius

There are different Classes for the different authentication methods available through RADIUS. If you are using CHAP-MD5 or MS-CHAP authentication, you will also need the Crypt_CHAP package. In addition, if using MS-CHAP authentication, you will need to enable the mhash and mcrypt extension in php.ini, or compile them in statically.

Note that if you have the latest radius extension (version 1.2 or newer), you will not need to enable the mcrypt extension.

How do I use Auth_RADIUS?

Basic usage examples follow, pulled from the package itself.
