Re: group based authentication

Thanks a lot for your response.
About your question... Yes I did.
> From the doc at http://wiki.freeradius.org/Proxy :
"It is possible to use FreeRADIUS as a proxy RADIUS server. This means
that it can consult a remote RADIUS server to validate a user."

We need that the "remote RADIUS that validates the user" can be a
radius OR LDAP OR MYSQL OR ... (point 3 of my question).

Thanks and best regards
