Tools
FreeRADIUS comes with a set of useful tools that assist you in monitoring and collecting statistics for your system. While there are many third-party tools that offer similar functionality, the reliable and proven tools included with FreeRADIUS are the ones we recommend using.
Each tool has a specific purpose and is designed to work seamlessly together. These tools include:
radclient
Radclient enables you to set up mock clients to perform basic authentication testing. It takes an input file which defines which attributes and values are included in the packet.
radmin
Radmin is an administration tool designed to administer and interact with a running FreeRADIUS server. It enables administrators to monitor statistics, view configurations, and make changes without the need to restart the server. Radmin connects to the control socket of a running server, providing a command-line interface to manage it.
radsniff
Radsniff allows you to inspect and process any type of RADIUS packet
that’s on the network. This tool can be used in conjunction with
radclient.
raduat
Raduat is uses radclient to send packets to the server, and then
validate the responses from the server. It should be used as part of
a test suite to ensure that changes to the server configuration do not
affect the flow of requests and responses, or even the content of the
responses.
