Hi,
Can anyone give me details about FreeRadius compatibility? My questions are :
1- Dose radius operate easily with Cisco equipments (including firewalls, VPN, … ) and other hardware VPN servers?
2- The same question for software VPN, such as Microsoft Routing and Remote Access Server (RRAS)?
3- the same question for access points?
3- What version or variants of the following standards and methods dose radius support : X802.1X, EAP-X?
- Is there available plug-in that allow to interface with ActiveDirectory ? LDAP directories ? Databases (Oracle, MySQL, etc) ?
Where can I find the features of the actual version of radius?
FreeRADIUS is one of, if not the most widely deployed RADIUS server in the world. I can't speak to the specifics of RRAS, but the answer to most of your questions is yes.
I want to develop a plug-in for FreeRadius. This plug-in should be able to handle authentication requests send from a VPN server (either hardware, Cisco or a Software (MS RRAS) implementation) or an AccessPoint.
The second requirements, is that this plug-in should be able to interface with the different users Data store including ActiveDirectory, LDAP directories and Databases, to accomplish user authentication.
So, you want something to listen for and process requests and then based on that request, do a lookup of some kind to get the user's account information and then do some sort of comparison between them and send an Accept or Reject back. Yep. Sounds exactly like what freeRADIUS does. There are already plugins for LDAP, SQL, Oracle, etc. Time to do some reading I think: http://www.freeradius.org/ http://wiki.freeradius.org/Main_Page http://deployingradius.com/ especially: http://deployingradius.com/documents/protocols/compatibility.html Then grab the tarball and read the files in the doc dir, the man pages, and the comments in the config files. If you still have questions, google+list archive and asking on this list can help. -- Dennis Skinner Systems Administrator BlueFrog Internet http://www.bluefrog.com
