Hello Alan,

Good Afternmoon.It is good to see your reply and thank you for your valuable time.

> so, RADSEC.
Yes You are right it must be a RADSEC.

all you are doing is changing the transport mechanism. the basic parts of RADIUS stay exactly the same, the modules know no different (in fact, under the RADIUS TLS/TCP there is still the same old RADIUS packet, even with the same old shared secret still lurking in there! ;-)

I agree with you.

>just read the 'tls' virtual server module. configure with required certificate details, add your client details, restart the server and then configure the client appropriately.

Would you like to elaborate a bit .what do you mean by configuring client appropriately? What will be the client side changes?


>regarding client....I would just point the client at a local, very stripped down FR server (so its just converting the RADIUS UDP into RADIUS TLS/TCP - very very basic config... or even more basic, a local copy of radsecproxy to do the same.

Is this you ment we can download thye pakage of radsecproxy and will use the same as client side program? 
&
I couldn’t understnd FR server?

Any opensource codebase  can be helpful to download the client side code?



Thanks in Advance ,It helps a lot.

okay

so, RADSEC.

>Is the existing PAM module any version supports RADIUS over TLS?

all you are doing is changing the transport mechanism. the basic parts of RADIUS stay exactly the same, the modules know no different (in fact, under the RADIUS TLS/TCP there is still the same old RADIUS packet, even with the same old shared secret still lurking in there! ;-)

just read the 'tls' virtual server module. configure with required certificate details, add your client details, restart the server and then configure the client appropriately.

regarding client....I would just point the client at a local, very stripped down FR server (so its just converting the RADIUS UDP into RADIUS TLS/TCP - very very basic config... or even more basic, a local copy of radsecproxy to do the same.
