DESCRIPTION¶
basic_radius_auth allows Squid to connect to a RADIUS server to validate
the user name and password of Basic HTTP authentication.
OPTIONS¶
- -f configfile
- Specifies the path to a configuration file. See the
CONFIGURATION section for details on the file content.

- 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
