FreeRADIUS is an open-source RADIUS server that provides authentication and authorization services for network connections. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of FreeRADIUS on Linux Mint.
Before starting the installation process, it's necessary to update the system to its latest version.
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
You can easily install FreeRADIUS on Linux Mint by running the following command:
sudo apt install freeradius
This command will install the package with all dependencies.
Once the installation is complete, you need to configure FreeRADIUS. The configuration file of FreeRADIUS is located at /etc/freeradius/.
cd /etc/freeradius/
sudo cp radiusd.conf{,.bak}
'''
sudo nano radiusd.conf
This command will create a backup file of the original configuration file, and then open the file in the nano editor.
In the configuration file, you can define the authentication and authorization settings for your network connections. Once you're done with the changes, save the file and exit the editor.
You can start FreeRADIUS by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start freeradius
This command will start the FreeRADIUS service.
FreeRADIUS is now successfully installed on your Linux Mint Latest distribution. You can use it to provide authentication and authorization services for your network connections.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
