pyrad is an implementation of a RADIUS client as described in RFC2865.
It takes care of all the details like building RADIUS packets, sending
them and decoding responses. (RADIUS is a common protocol used for
authentication, authorisation and accounting for remote access (and
similar) services).
This is a maintenance release; the next release will focus on new
features such as a trivial RADIUS server implementation.
Changes since previous release
------------------------------
* client.Timeout is now derived from Exception
* docstring/epydoc documentation added
* include example dictionaries and authentication script
Example
-------
Here is an example of doing a authentication request:
from pyrad.client import Client
from pyrad.dictionary import Dictionary
srv=Client(server="radius.my.domain", secret="s3cr3t",
dict=dictionary.Dictionary("dicts/dictionary", "dicts/dictionary.acc"))
req=srv.CreatePacket(code=pyrad.client.AccessRequest,
User_Name="wichert", NAS_Identifier="localhost")
req["User-Password"]=req.PwCrypt("password")
reply=srv.SendPacket(req)
if reply.code==pyrad.client.AccessAccept:
print "access accepted"
else:
print "access denied"
print "Attributes returned by server:"
for i in reply.keys():
print "%s: %s" % (i, reply[i])
Requirements
------------
pyrad requires Python 2.0 or later.
