The default value of the secret we share with the destination
radius servers. Radiator acts like a RADIUS client when it forwards RADIUS
request to another RADIUS server.
You must define a shared secret
for each Host in AuthBy RADIUS, and it must match the secret configured
into the destination RADIUS server. There is no default. The secret can be
any number of ASCII characters. Any ASCII character except newline is
permitted, but it might be easier if you restrict yourself to the
printable characters. For a reasonable level of security, the Secret
should be at least 16 characters, and a mixture of upper and lower case,
digits and punctuation. You should not use just a single recognisable
word. Can be overridden for an individual host inside its Host
clause.
# This better agree with the server at

CAUTION
Some NASs, notably Enterasys
Smart Switch Routers support a maximum shared secret length of 16
characters.
