Golden rules

These golden rules are not my own, but the recommendations from the online documentation listed above. For best results follow them!

  • Do as little as possible—the default configuration should work as is.
  • Do not edit the default configuration files unless you understand what they do.
  • When you make changes, keep them small and make backups.
  • Confirm that the changes work as intended by running FreeRADIUS in debug mode and carefully observing the output during various scenarios.
