Local

Edit online

If either the radiusd.conf file's database_location field or SMIT's Database Location entry contains the word Local, then the RADIUS Server will use /etc/radius/dbdata.bin as the location for all of the user IDs and passwords.

The local user database is flat file that contains the user ID and password information. Passwords are saved in a hashed format. Hashing is a fast addressing technique for directly accessing data in the memory space. To add, delete, or modify user passwords, run the raddbm command or use SMIT. When the radiusd daemon starts, it reads the radiusd.conf file and loads the user IDs and passwords into memory.

Note: The maximum user ID length is 253 characters and the maximum password length is 128 characters.

To use the local user database, select Local in the Database Location field as shown below:
