i'm looking to focus a problem i have - i think the main issue is not
freeradius but it's a good place to ask.

I have a server that's do both Radius and accounting for Wifi random
users (web redirected system).

now i just discovered that to authenticate the users i have to use the
server "secret" password

It's not a "server secret password". The correct term is "radius shared secret".

on the accounting side i can use whatever i want and it will still work.
(if the secret for the server is 12345 i can use abcde for the
accounting and i'll get the accounting files).

No, this doesn't work reliably.


The question is this, if we stick to the AAA protocol do you really need
the "radius secret" to use accounting? or can i just drop it?

No. The secret is required for correct operation.
