pyrad FOR LINUX

pyrad FOR LINUX is a Python RADIUS client that simplifies the handling of RADIUS requests and responses, making it an essential tool for managing network authentication.

Features of pyrad FOR LINUX

• The pyrad.client class serves as the cornerstone of this software, facilitating the setup of a RADIUS client.


• With pyrad.dictionary, you gain support for standard radiusd dictionaries and even preliminary assistance for FreeRADIUS octets and binary extensions.


• For packet management, rely on pyrad.packet to create and handle RADIUS requests or replies while handling all data conversion intricacies in the background.


• pyrad.server offers fundamental classes for both RADIUS servers and proxies for those exploring server setup.


• Explore the pyrad.tools section for utility functions primarily used for data conversion purposes.

A Simple Example to Get Started

import pyrad.packet

from pyrad.client import Client

from pyrad.dictionary import Dictionary



srv = Client(server="radius.my.domain", secret="s3cr3t",

dict=Dictionary("dicts/dictionary", "dictionary.acc"))

req = srv.CreateAuthPacket(code=pyrad.packet.AccessRequest,

User_Name="wichert", NAS_Identifier="localhost")

req["User-Password"] = req.PwCrypt("password")

reply = srv.SendPacket(req)

if reply.code == pyrad.packet.AccessAccept:

    print "access accepted"

else:

    print "access denied"

print "Attributes returned by server:"

for i in reply.keys():

    print "%s: %s" % (i, reply[i])

  

Requirements:

• Python is necessary to operate this software.

What's New in This Release:

• The Packet class now emulates a standard Python dictionary.


• No longer assume that unknown attribute types don't require decoding or encoding, addressing potential invalid packet issues.


• Introduction of support for the 'octets' data type used by FreeRADIUS.
