pyrad2 is an implementation of a RADIUS client/server as described in RFC2865. It takes care of all the details like building RADIUS packets, sending them and decoding responses.
What this fork does:
- Adds RadSec (RFC 6614) support (Experimental)
- Supports only Python 3.12+
- Extensive typing
- Increased test coverage
- New bug fixes
Note that this is not a stand-alone Radius implementation like FreeRadius. You are supposed to inherit the server classes and code your own behind-the-scenes implementation. This package allows you to code your business logic on top of it.
pyrad2 requires Python 3.12 and uses uv. On a Mac, you can simply run brew install uv.
See the Getting Started guide for a better overview.
There are a few examples in the examples folder. You can either install pyrad2 and use the examples or clone the repo. If you clone the repo, make commands are useful.
The easiest way to start a server is by running make server. This will run the example server in examples/server_async.py.
If you want to see a request in action, leave the server running, open another terminal and type make auth. Several other commands are available such as make server_radsec, make server_coa, make_acct, etc.
Run make test.
