      Hello!
      I have succesfully edited freeradius package clients.conf file, the service works as it should after service restart

      BUT

      the configuration page in pfSense did not populate with newly added entries, how do I refresh (and keep it up to date) the "NAS / Clients" (/pkg.php?xml=freeradiusclients.xml) page ?

      2.4.2-RELEASE-p1 (amd64)
      freeradius3 0.15.5

        Make all changes in the GUI, those will be stored in the XML and the .conf files will be generated by pfSense. Don't edit the .conf files directly.

          Managing 100+ APs in GUI is painful. Where is that XML file located ?

            Would be nice if the FreeRadius package had a copy function like the firewall rules section.

            I hand out specific IP addresses, gateways and routes, its a bit of a pain having to re-enter IP addresses, gateways and routes, if a copy function existed I'd just need to edit the last octet of the IP address per new user.

                All the package data is stored in the main config file in /conf/config.xml.

                If you're doing something that is impractical to manage via the gui you should probably be using a separate Radius server.
