	<title>Overview</title>
	<para>
		This module contains functions that are used to perform authentication 
		using a Radius server. Basically the proxy will pass along the 
		credentials to the radius server which will in turn send a reply 
		containing result of the authentication. So basically the whole
		authentication is done in the Radius server. Before sending the request 
		to the radius server we perform some sanity checks over the 
		credentials to make sure that only well formed credentials will get to 
		the server. We have implemented radius authentication according to 
		draft-sterman-aaa-sip-00. This module requires radiusclient-ng
		library version 0.5.0 or higher which is available from 
		<ulink url='http://developer.berlios.de/projects/radiusclient-ng/'>
		http://developer.berlios.de/projects/radiusclient-ng/</ulink>.

	<title>Additional Credentials</title>
	<para>
		When performing authentification, the RADIUS server may include in the
		response additional credentials. This scheme is very useful in fetching
		additional user information from the RADIUS server without making
		extra queries.
	</para>
	<para>
		The additional credentials are embedded in the RADIUS reply as AVPs 
		<quote>SIP-AVP</quote>. The syntax of the value is:
		<itemizedlist>
			<listitem><para><emphasis>
			value = SIP_AVP_NAME SIP_AVP_VALUE
			</emphasis></para></listitem>
			<listitem><para><emphasis>
			SIP_AVP_NAME = STRING_NAME | '#'ID_NUMBER
			</emphasis></para></listitem>
			<listitem><para><emphasis>
			SIP_AVP_VALUE = ':'STRING_VALUE | '#'NUMBER_VALUE
			</emphasis></para></listitem>
		</itemizedlist>
	</para>
	<para>
		All additional credentials will be stored as &ser; AVPs
		(SIP_AVP_NAME = SIP_AVP_VALUE).
	</para>
	<para>
		The RPID value may be fetch via this mechanism.
	</para>

	<title><quote>SIP-AVP</quote> RADIUS AVP exmaples</title>
		<programlisting format="linespecific">
....
"email:[e-mail]"
    -> STRING NAME AVP (email) with STRING VALUE ([e-mail])
"#14:[e-mail]"
    -> ID AVP (14) with STRING VALUE ([e-mail])
"age#28"
    -> STRING NAME AVP (age) with INTEGER VALUE (28)
"#14#28"

	<section>
		<title><varname>radius_config</varname> (string)</title>
		<para>
		This is the location of the configuration file of radius client 
		libraries.
		</para>
		<para>
		Default value is 
			<quote>/usr/local/etc/radiusclient-ng/radiusclient.conf</quote>.
		</para>
		<example>
		<title><varname>radius_config</varname> parameter usage</title>
		<programlisting format="linespecific">

		</programlisting>
		</example>
	</section>
	<section>
		<title><varname>service_type</varname> (integer)</title>
		<para>
		This is the value of the Service-Type radius attribute to be used. 
		The default should be fine for most people. See your radius client 
		include files for numbers to be put in this parameter if you need 
		to change it.
		</para>
		<para>
		Default value is <quote>15</quote>.
		</para>

	<title>Exported Functions</title>
	<section>
		<title><function moreinfo="none">radius_www_authorize(realm)</function></title>
		<para>
		The function verifies credentials according to 
		<ulink url="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2617.txt">RFC2617</ulink>. If 
		the credentials are verified successfully then the function will 
		succeed and mark the credentials as authorized (marked credentials can 
		be later used by some other functions). If the function was unable to 
		verify the credentials for some reason then it will fail and
		the script should call <function moreinfo="none">www_challenge</function>
		which will challenge the user again.
		</para>
		<para>
		This function will, in fact, perform sanity checks over the received 
		credentials and then pass them along to the radius server which will 
		verify the credentials and return whether they are valid or not.
		</para>
		<para>Meaning of the parameter is as follows:</para>
		<itemizedlist>
		<listitem>
			<para><emphasis>realm</emphasis> - Realm is a opaque string that 
			the user agent should present to the user so he can decide what 
			username and password to use. Usually this is domain of the host 
			the server is running on.
			</para>
			<para>
			If an empty string <quote></quote> is used then the server will 
			generate it from the request. In case of REGISTER requests To 
			header field domain will be used (because this header field 
			represents a user being registered), for all other messages From 
			header field domain will be used.
			</para>
			<para>
			The string may contain pseudo variables.
			</para>
		</listitem>
		</itemizedlist>
		<para>
		This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE.
		</para>
		<example>
		<title><function moreinfo="none">radius_www_authorize</function> usage</title>
		<programlisting format="linespecific">
...
if (!radius_www_authorize("siphub.net")) {
	www_challenge("siphub.net", "1");
