In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing FreeRADIUS on OpenSUSE Latest. FreeRADIUS is an open source, high-performance, and extensible RADIUS protocol server that is used for authentication and authorization in networks that use wireless access points, VPNs, and other network devices.
First, we need to update the system to ensure that all packages are up to date. To do this, open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo zypper update
Next, we will install the FreeRADIUS package using the zypper package manager. Run the following command to install FreeRADIUS:
sudo zypper install freeradius
After installing FreeRADIUS, you need to configure it to suit your needs. FreeRADIUS comes with a default configuration, which may not be suitable for your setup. To configure FreeRADIUS, open the configuration file using your favorite text editor:
sudo nano /etc/raddb/radiusd.conf
In this file, you can modify various settings such as the server name, authentication settings, and logging settings.
Once you have configured FreeRADIUS, you need to start it using the following command:
sudo systemctl start radiusd.service
If you want FreeRADIUS to start automatically at boot time, run the following command:
sudo systemctl enable radiusd.service
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install FreeRADIUS on OpenSUSE Latest. We have also demonstrated how to configure and start FreeRADIUS. With this setup, you can use FreeRADIUS as an authentication and authorization server for your network.
