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.
