Description
Returns: TRUE on success, FALSE on error.
The host parameter specifies the server host, either
as a fully qualified domain name or as a dotted-quad IP address in text
form. The port parameter specifies the UDP port to contact on the
server. If port is given as 0, the library looks up the `radius/udp' or
`radacct/udp' service in the network services database, and uses the port
found there. If no entry is found, the library uses the standard Radius
ports, 1812 for authentication and 1813 for accounting. The shared
secret for the server host is passed to the secret parameter. The Radius protocol
ignores all but the leading 128 bytes of the shared secret. The timeout for receiving
replies from the server is passed to the timeout parameter, in units of
seconds. The maximum number of repeated requests to make before giving
up is passed into the max_tries parameter.
radius_add_server() may be called multiple times, and it may be used
together with radius_config(). At most 10 servers may be specified. When
multiple servers are given, they are tried in round-robin fashion until a
valid response is received, or until each server's max_tries limit has
been reached.
