When asking can FreeRADIUS do something there is a simple way to look at it… Simplified thinking process is (for Authentication): Get an example of the RADIUS data arriving in the Authentication packets: Using ONLY that information identify the ‘service’ and thus get the required authentication attribute(s) (This might be delegated to something else, eg. SAMBA, depending upon the authentication mechanisms used) Using ONLY that information / service identity get the information to fill in response attributes. Build the policy that performs the lookups and constructs the reply. 99% of the time this just works in the 1% case there are protocol reasons that it doesn’t (eg requiring the service / user directory to hold plain text passwords for certain authentication mechanisms) Second one that often comes up ..If the question is really asking about what the RADIUS response can configure then stop looking at RADIUS and start reading the equipment vendors documentation. RADIUS just sends attributes and values to the equipment what the equipment does with those attributes is totally in the hands of that vendor. Here be dragons because there are many, many ways in which vendors interpret / misinterpret even very old well defined RADIUS attributes. A.

Odds are that you can just use PAP, and connect to AD via LDAP. And also check admin group privileges! if (LDAP-Group != "admin") { reject } ... else check passwords, etc. Alan DeKok. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
