Stopping and restarting RADIUS

Edit online

You must stop and restart the radiusd daemons whenever changes are made to the RADIUS server's /etc/radius/radiusd.conf configuration file, or to the default authorization files, /etc/radius/authorization/default.policy or /etc/radius/authorization/default.auth. This can be handled from SMIT or from a command line.

To start, restart, and stop the RADIUS server, use the following commands:

radiusctl start
radiusctl restart
radiusctl stop

Stopping and starting RADIUS is necessary because the daemon must build a memory table of all default attributes contained in the above configuration files. Shared memory is used for each local user and the local user table only gets built at daemon initialization time for performance reasons.
