dictionary

The dictionary file defines easy-to-read names for the attributes and values used in RADIUS messages. It defines how RADIUS attribute numbers map to readable attribute names, and how RADIUS value numbers map to readable value names. The dictionary also defines the type of data that each attribute can hold.

The dictionary file is an ASCII text file. Each definition occupies one line. A hash mark # marks the beginning of a comment. Comment and blank lines are ignored.

Example configuration of a dictionary clause:

dictionary {
    radius {
        filename "path/to/dictionary";
    }
}

radius

This clause defines the RADIUS dictionary file.

filename

The name of the dictionary file. The filename attribute can also include the specified directory, e.g., /opt/radiator/server/dictionary. Filename is defined as a string.
