To configure event audit in the FreeRADIUS system:

  1. Connect to the server where the FreeRADIUS system is installed with a user account with administrative privileges.
  2. Create a backup copy of the FreeRADIUS configuration file:

    sudo cp /etc/freeradius/3.0/radiusd.conf /etc/freeradius /3.0/radiusd.conf.bak

  3. Open the FreeRADIUS configuration file for editing:

    sudo nano /etc/freeradius/3.0/radiusd.conf

  4. In the 'log' section, edit the settings as follows:

    destination = syslog

    syslog_facility = daemon

    stripped_names = no

    auth = yes

    auth_badpass = yes

    auth_goodpass = yes

  5. Save the configuration file.

FreeRADIUS event audit is configured.
