Webhomer authentication: Introduction

Webhomer offers three options for authentication:

• Internal (MySQL)
• RADIUS
• LDAP

RADIUS

To implement RADIUS authentication in Homer, perform the following steps:

1.) Ensure your PHP installation supports RADIUS:

• On Debian, the package is php5-radius
• On CentOS/RHEL the package is php-pecl-radius
• Don't forget to restart Apache after installing the package

2.) Configure RADIUS specific settings in: webhomer/class/auth/radius_build/settings.php

• Your RADIUS users will all be logged in with userlevel 3 unless you change parameter RADIUS_USERLEVEL

3.) Enable RADIUS authentication in webHomer using the AUTHENTICATION parameter as follows in 'preferences.php':

• define('AUTHENTICATION',"radius_build");

4.) Log-in with your RADIUS credentials

Note: When you are configured for RADIUS or LDAP authentication methods, the homer_logon table will not be used at all
