Matt:

Others may know better than me, but unless you are authenticating users from 
other domains you do not needs a realm.

In your lab setup the realm will be either local or null if you are not using a 
user database backend (like AD).

In FreeRADIUS land the realm is what you use to determine which authentication 
oracle receives the access request.  Since you are using a local user DB then 
you can leave your realm as NULL or LOCAL and not worry about it.

Unless you are testing something like authentication to a domain you can ignore 
the realm setting.

Subject: [PacketFence-users] Lab setup without AD

EXTERNAL Exercise Caution
Hello, I am new to PF. I’d like to do some testing and work with it in a lab 
environment or even at home.

Can I setup PF without having an AD server?

I can’t seem to create a realm without one.

There are many new terms to me realm being one of them. Is there a glossary of 
terms or should I just google away?

Basically what I want to setup for a lab at the start is a PF server, a DPCP 
server, and one of our HP switches. Just to start. Am I on the right track?

Sorry for all the dumb questions but this is a new area for me.
