 +  * RADIUSdesk is a modern frontend for FreeRADIUS.
 +  *  This page is intended to give you an overview. 
 +  * The components are described in more detail on their own pages.
 +
 +====== Components of the RADIUS server ======

 +  * When a RADIUS client contacts RADIUSdesk, the following components are involved.
 +
 +===== RADIUS Client =====
 +  * RADIUS clients must be defined and added to the list of RADIUS clients that RADIUSdesk is allowed to process.
 +  * We use a server-wide shared secret and then identify a RADIUS client using the Nas-Identifier attribute in the RADIUS request.
 +  * This allows the server to process requests even if the incoming IP address of the client changes.
 +
 +===== RADIUS User (Authentication) =====
 +  * The RADIUS authentication request contains a user name.
 +  *  RADIUSdesk offers the following user types
 +        * Permanent Users
 +        * Vouchers
 +        * BYOD
 +  * For authentication to be successful, the user name in the authentication request <wrap em>must match</wrap> one of the users defined in RADIUSdesk.
 +
 +===== RADIUS Profile (Authorization) =====
 +  * Every RADIUS user must belong to a RADIUS profile.
 +  * This profile usually determines the service that is assigned to the user when they connect to the network.
 +  *  For example, the profile can define the bandwidth that is assigned to a PPPoE user.
 +
 +===== RADIUS Realm (Grouping) =====
 +  * Each RADIUS user must also belong to a RADIUS realm.
 +  * Realms are a method of grouping users and can also be used to determine whether a RADIUS request must be forwarded to another RADIUS server in order to process the request.
 +  * A realm name can therefore play a role in forwarding RADIUS traffic to other RADIUS servers.
