FreeRADIUS is the most widely deployed RADIUS server in the world.
It is the basis for multiple commercial offerings.
Update net/freeradius to 3.0.15. Based on a PR from @coyhile (https://github.com/joyent/pkgsrc/issues/18). Splits modules with external dependencies into separate packages. The 1.1.x branch was EOL'd in 2008. No upgrade guide from 1.1.x to 3.0.x seem to exist. Summary of improvements in 3.x: - Moved configuration entries in radiusd.conf to make more sense. - Added the "integer64" and "ipv4prefix" data types. - Added RADIUS over TLS (i.e. RadSec). See raddb/sites-available/tls. - Updated internal API to support new attributes and formats. - Added code to send SNMP Traps. See raddb/trigger.conf. - Added preliminary support for Apple's Grand Central Dispatch. - Added provisions for raddb/dictionary.local, for local changes See raddb/dictionary for more details. - Added packet/s tracking. See max_pps in the "listen" section. - The %{} expansions and "unlang" conditions are now parsed at server start. Descriptive errors are produced for syntax and format errors. - Casting is now supported for "unlang" comparisons. See "man unlang" e.g. <ipaddr>127.0.0.1 == Framed-IP-Address. - Direct comparison of attribute references is now supported e.g. &Foo == &Bar. This avoids stringification of the attributes. - Direct assignment of attributes is now supported e.g. Foo := &Bar. It also works for "octets" data types. - Comparisons of IPv4 and IPv6 prefixes are now supported The "<" operator means "within the prefix" for comparisons. - New sha1 xlat expansion (thanks to Alan Buxey). - Colourised log messages when logging to stdout. Look for yellow warnings and red errors. Doing this will save you a LOT of grief. - If the PCRE library is available, use it (insted of the POSIX functions) to process regular expressions (thanks to Phil Mayers). - -xv now displays all the features the server was built with, and the versions of the core libraries (libtalloc, libssl). Summary of improvements in 2.x: - simple policy language (see "man unlang") - virtual servers ("raddb/sites-available/README") - IPv6 support - better proxy support ("raddb/proxy.conf") - More EAP types - Debugging output should be <em>much</em> easier to understand - VMPS support - More modules have been moved to "stable" status (python, etc.) - SQL configuration has been cleaned up (see "raddb/sql/*") - limited support for HUP. (The configuration for some modules is re-loaded on HUP. Nothing else is reloaded.) - check configuration and exit ("radiusd -C") - Server core is now event based (simpler, more powerful) 2017-08-26 12:07:27 +02:00			`FreeRADIUS is the most widely deployed RADIUS server in the world.`
