RADIUS Configuration

This guide explains how to implement RADIUS authentication. User authentication will fall back to built-in Django users in the event of a failure.

Requirements

Install django-radius

Activate the Python virtual environment and install the django-radius package using pip:

# echo 'django-radius' >> local_requirements.txt
# pip3 install -r local_requirements.txt

Configuration

First, enable the RADIUS authentication backend in configuration.py. (Be sure to overwrite this definition if it is already set to RemoteUserBackend)

REMOTE_AUTH_BACKEND = "radiusauth.backends.RADIUSBackend"

Next, create a file alongside configuration.py named radius_config.py. Define all of the parameters required below in radius_config.py. Complete documentation of all django-radius configuration options is included in the project's official documentation.
