Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS)
1 Rule
Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) is a networking protocol, operating on port 1812 that provides centralized Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA or Triple A) management for users who connect and use a network service.
Remove the FreeRadius Server Package
Low Severity
The
freeradius
package should be removed if not in use. Is this system a RADIUS server? If not, remove the package. The
freeradius
package can be removed with the following command:
$ sudo yum erase freeradius
The freeradius RPM is not installed by default on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 system. It is needed only by the RADIUS servers, not by the clients which use RADIUS for authentication. If the system is not intended for use as a RADIUS Server it should be removed.
