3. Update keyrad Settings

   • In the https://raw.githubusercontent.com/idrissof/keyrad/main/radiussrv/Software-v2.1.zip, update the Keycloak server URL and realm information. This tells keyrad where to authenticate users.

4. Test Your Setup

   • Restart keyrad to apply your configurations. Attempt to authenticate a user through your application that uses keyrad for RADIUS authentication.

📄 Usage

Once installed and configured, you can use keyrad to authenticate users.

1. Send Authentication Requests

   • When a user tries to log in, your application sends a RADIUS request to keyrad, containing the user’s credentials.

2. Receive Authentication Results
