Rubius: A simple native Ruby RADIUS authentication gem

Rubius provides a simple interface to RADIUS authentication

Requirements

  • Ruby >= 1.9.2 (not tested with previous versions)

  • Rails >= 3.0.6 (not tested with previous versions)

Rubius works with the following RADIUS servers:

  • FreeRADIUS 1.1.8

Installation

Include the gem in your Gemfile:

gem “rubius”

And then run bundler:

$ bundle install

Or install using rubygems

$ gem install rubius You can then use it in your programs:

require ‘rubius’

Another way would be to clone the git repository

$ git clone git://github.com/rahvin/rubius.git

And then install the gem

$ cd rubius $ rake install

Quick Start

$ cd /my/rails/app $ rails generate rubius:install

This will create an initial ‘config/rubius.yml’ configuration file and a ‘config/radius-dictionary’ RADIUS dictionary file, it will also create an initializer in ‘config/initializers/rubius.rb’ to load Rubius when your application starts up.

Now configure your RADIUS server properties in ‘config/rubius.yml’. When you’re done, you can authenticate with:

if Rubius::Authenticator.authenticate(‘username’, ‘password’) # woohoo end

Contributing to Rubius

  • Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn’t been implemented or the bug hasn’t been fixed yet

  • Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn’t requested it and/or contributed it

  • Fork the project

  • Start a feature/bugfix branch

  • Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution

  • Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

  • Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
