NAME
       squid_radius_auth - Squid RADIUS authentication helper

SYNOPSIS
       squid_radius_auth -f configfile
       squid_radius_auth -h "server" [-p port] [-i identifier] -w secret

DESCRIPTION
       This  helper  allows Squid to connect to a RADIUS server to validate the user name and password of Basic HTTP authentica-
       tion.

       -f configfile
              Specifies the path to a configuration file. See the CONFIGURATION section for details.

       -h server
              Alternative method of specifying the server to connect to

       -p port
              Specify another server port where the RADIUS server listens for requests if  different  from  the  default  RADIUS
              port.  Normally not specified.

       -i identifier
              Unique  identifier  identifying this Squid proxy to the RADIUS server.  If not specified the IP address is used as
              to identify the proxy.

       -w secret
              Alternative method of specifying the shared secret. Using the configuration file is generally more secure and rec-
              ommended.

       -t timeout
              RADIUS request timeout. Default 10 seconds.
