💅 clients.conf(5) — FreeRADIUS client configuration 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, this is the manual page for clients.conf, and it's literally giving clients.conf - FreeRADIUS client configuration. That's the whole name vibe. Periodt. 💖

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

The clients.conf file contains definitions of RADIUS clients. Like, that's its whole main-character job. ✨

The information in this file overrides any information provided in the deprecated clients and naslist files. Yes, deprecated, so maybe don't cling to them, bestie. 🙈

The file format is the same as that used for radiusd.conf. See radiusd.conf(5) for more details. Slay, consistent formatting. 🫶

Each RADIUS client entry has the following basic form:

client <short-name> {
       <attribute> = <value>
 }

Clients have many configuration parameters. Most are documented in the file itself as comments — iconic behavior, honestly. This page documents only the format of the file. Please read the clients.conf file itself for more information. 💅

heads up: the old-style format from 1.x is still accepted by the server, but that form is deprecated. So it's giving legacy, not future. 💀
