While MS ISA is fine for very small deployments it cannot scale very well in my experience. While FR scales extremely well.

While MS ISA will start to really putter out at about 50-100 NASs (depending on your hardware)  FR will happily hum along with THOUSANDS of NASs.

Subject: Radius Integration with Active Directory

Hi all,

I have installed a freeradius machine on ubuntu server, now my boss wants me to integrate it with the Active directory so that the users can be authenticated through it. I was wondering design wise does it make sense to have a free radius server in between if we can run radius on the windows machine itself? what are security best practices in this case?

Cheers
