DESCRIPTION
       You use a RADIUS authentication module when your authentication data is
       stored on a remote RADIUS server. In this case, client credentials are
       based on basic HTTP authentication (that is, username and password).

       To implement a RADIUS authentication module and create a RADIUS
       configuration object:

       1. Use the radius-server component in the ltm auth module to configure
       a RADIUS server.
       2. Use the radius component in the ltm auth module to create a RADIUS
       configuration object that references the RADIUS server you created in
       Step 1.
       3. Use the profile component in the ltm auth module to create an
       authentication profile in which you specify the following options:
	    a. For the configuration option, specify the RADIUS configuration
	    object that you created in Step 2.
	    b. For the defaults-from option, specify a parent profile (either
	    the default RADIUS profile named radius or another custom profile
	    that you created).

EXAMPLES
       create radius my_radius_auth servers add { myradiusserver }

       Creates a RADIUS configuration object named my_radius_auth.

       delete radius my_radius_auth

       Deletes the RADIUS configuration object named my_radius_auth.

OPTIONS
       accounting-bug
	    Enables or disables validation of the accounting response vector.
	    This option is necessary only on older servers. The default value
	    is disabled.

       client-id
	    Sends a NAS-Identifier RADIUS attribute with string bar. If you do
	    not specify a value for the client-id option, the system uses the
	    pluggable authentication module (PAM) service type. You can
	    disable this feature by specifying a blank client ID.

       debug
	    Enables or disables syslog-ng debugging information at LOG DEBUG
	    level. F5 Networks does not recommend this option for normal use.
	    The default value is disabled.

       description
	    User defined description.

       glob Displays the items that match the glob expression. See help glob
	    for a description of glob expression syntax.

       name Specifies a unique name for the component. This option is required
	    for the commands create, delete, and modify.

       partition
	    Displays the administrative partition within which the component
	    resides.

       regex
	    Displays the items that match the regular expression. The regular
	    expression must be preceded by an at sign (@[regular expression])
	    to indicate that the identifier is a regular expression. See help
	    regex for a description of regular expression syntax.

       retries
	    Specifies the number of authentication retries that the Local
	    Traffic Manager allows before authentication fails. The default
	    value is 3.

       service-type
	    Specifies the type of service used for the RADIUS server. The
	    default is default, which behaves as authenticate-only.

       servers
	    Specifies the hostnames or IP addresses of the RADIUS servers that
	    the BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager uses to obtain authentication
	    data.
