RADEAPCLIENT

NAME

radeapclient - send EAP packets to a RADIUS server, calculate responses

SYNOPSIS

radeapclient [-4] [-6] [-c count] [-d raddb_directory] [-f file] [-h] [-i source_ip] [-q] [-s] [-r retries] [-S file] [-t timeout] [-v] [-x] server {acct|auth} secret

DESCRIPTION

radeapclient is a radius client program. It can send arbitrary radius packets to a radius server, then shows the reply. Radeapclient differs from radclient in that if there is an EAP-MD5 challenge, then it will be responded to.

radeapclient is otherwise identical to radclient.

The EAP-Identity attribute, if present is used to construct an EAP Identity message.

The EAP-MD5-Password attribute, if present is used to respond to an MD5 challenge.

No other EAP types are currently supported.

EXAMPLE

A sample session that queries the remote server with an EAP-MD5 challenge.

( echo ’User-Name = "bob"’;
echo ’EAP-MD5-Password = "hello"’;
echo ’NAS-IP-Address = marajade.sandelman.ottawa.on.c’;
echo ’EAP-Code = Response’;
echo ’EAP-Id = 210’;
echo ’EAP-Type-Identity = "bob";
echo ’Message-Authenticator = 0x00’;
echo ’NAS-Port = 0’ ) >req.txt

radeapclient -x localhost auth testing123 <req.txt
