NAME
dictionary - RADIUS dictionary file
DESCRIPTION
The dictionary file resides in the radius database directory,
by default /etc/raddb. It contains a list of RADIUS attributes
and values, which the server uses to map between descriptive names and
on-the-wire data.
Every line starting with a hash sign
('#')
is treated as comment and ignored.
Each line of the file can contain one of the following strings
- ATTRIBUTE name number type
-
Define a name to RADIUS attribute number mapping. The name
field can be any non-space text. The number must contain
an ASCII number for that name, as given in RFC2138. The
type field can be one of string, ipaddr,
integer, or date.
- VALUE attribute-name value-name number
-
Define a value name to value number mapping. The attribute-name
field must be previously defined by an ATTRIBUTE entry. The
value-name can be any non-space text. The number must
contain an ASCII number for that name, as given in RFC2138.
- VENDOR vendor-name number
-
Define a Vendor Specific Attribute encapsulation for vendor-name to
number.
- $INCLUDE filename
-
Include dictionary entries from the file filename. The
filename is taken as relative to the location of the
dictionary which is doing the inclusion.
