# RADIUS Auth Method
|
|
|
|
The `radius` auth method allows users to authenticate with Vault using an
|
|
existing RADIUS server that accepts the PAP authentication scheme.
|
|
|
|
## Authentication
|
|
|
|
The default path is `/radius`. If this auth method was enabled at a different
|
|
path, specify `-path=/my-path` in the CLI.
|
|
|
|
### Via the CLI
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ vault login -path=radius username=sethvargo
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Via the API
|
|
|
|
The default endpoint is `auth/radius/login`. If this auth method was enabled
|
|
at a different path, use that value instead of `radius`.
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ curl \
|
|
--request POST \
|
|
--data '{"password": "..."}' \
|
|
http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/auth/radius/login/sethvargo
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The response will contain a token at `auth.client_token`:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"auth": {
|
|
"client_token": "c4f280f6-fdb2-18eb-89d3-589e2e834cdb",
|
|
"policies": ["admins"],
|
|
"metadata": {
|
|
"username": "mitchellh"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
### Via the CLI
|
|
|
|
1. Enable the radius auth method:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
$ vault auth enable radius
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Configure connection details for your RADIUS server.
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
$ vault write auth/radius/users/mitchellh policies=admins
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For the complete list of configuration options, please see the API
|
|
documentation.
|
|
|
|
The above creates a new mapping for user "mitchellh" that will be associated
|
|
with the "admins" policy.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, Vault can assign a configurable set of policies to any user
|
|
that successfully authenticates with the RADIUS server but has no explicit
|
|
mapping in the `users/` path. This is done through the
|
|
`unregistered_user_policies` configuration parameter.
|
|
|
|
## API
|
|
|
|
The RADIUS auth method has a full HTTP API. Please see the
|
|
[RADIUS Auth API](/api/auth/radius) for more
|
|
details.
