Darshak, I'm not a legal representative, but Michael's response is for someone that wishes to sell or distribute(?) a product that uses the SecurID service While doing a RADIUS proxy to for the new RADIUS server may be the correct approach, if you are an owner of a SecurID server solution, you can certainly develop code to use your licensed server for whatever application you wish. The product offering includes an ACE Client SDK which gives you a C-language API for doing SecurID authentication. It would be fairly straight forward to develop your own Free RADIUS module, but there are details with New Pin assignment and Next Token mode that get messy. The server uses Access-Challenge for them. Also the new server includes EAP support for several methods. So proxy may still be the best path. David Mitton Software Development, RSA Security, Inc.

In 2002 I thought about going down this route and I'm summarizing from the 5 page SecurId integration document. You must write code that uses RSA's 'RSA Agent' software to communicate with the RSA ACE server. You must become a partner a a cost of ten thousand dollars for each product each year you provide the product(s). You must pay RSA twenty percent of your product's licensing fee. And you must have RSA certify it and may be required to provide a training program for RSA certification technicians. The sublicense agreement with RSA is incompatible with any open source software. The best thing to do is use FreeRadius as a proxy to the RSA RADIUS server. From a client's point of view the ACE RADIUS server may require a simple CHAP/PAP transaction or there may be challenges asking for more information. It depends on the RSA server configuration. darshak wrote:
Hi All I m new to AAA things.I want how can I support RSA ACE/Server in freeradius. Can anyone has details How interaction is made between RADIUS and RSA/ACE-server?. in general scenario
