For radius support the radcli library is required. The minimum requirement is version 1.2.0. Alternatively the freeradius-client library can be used (1.1.7 is the minimum requirement), but not all radius features may be available.
radcli uses a configuration file to setup the server configuration. That is typically found at: /etc/radcli/radiusclient.conf and is best to copy the default installed as radiusclient-ocserv.conf and edit it accordingly.
The important options for ocserv usage are the following:
dictionary /etc/radcli/dictionary
servers /etc/radcli/servers
The dictionary should contain at least the attributes shown below, and the servers file should contain the radius server to use.
NOTE
Note, that ocserv since 1.0.0 does not provide the 'NAS-Port' attribute to server. In the previous versions the NAS-Port value was corresponding to the worker process ID (PID), which changed on client reconnect (e.g., due to roaming). That caused accounting problems, and as there is no notion of ports in ocserv, it is no longer sent. This breaks the default configuration of freeradius servers which assumes that the NAS-Port is sent. To make ocserv authentication and accounting work with freeradius, you must configure the server not to account NAS-Port by removing the NAS-Port attribute from the acct_unique section.
For authentication the following line should be enabled.
auth = "radius[config=/etc/radcli/radiusclient.conf,groupconfig=true]"
Check the ocserv manpage for the meaning of the various options such as groupconfig.
To enable accounting, use
acct = "radius[config=/etc/radcli/radiusclient.conf]"
and modify the following option to the time (in seconds), that accounting information should be reported.
stats-report-time = 360
That value will be overridden by Acct-Interim-Interval if sent by the server.
Note that the accounting session is reported as terminated as soon as
possible when the user disconnects explicitly. When the disconnection
is due to timeout or other network reasons, the users have their connection
remain valid until the cookie-timeout value expires.
Ocserv supports the following radius attributes.
