When EAP-AKA can be supported by FreeRADIUS?
Hi, all In FreeRADIUS, EAP-AKA has not been supported yet, though a EAP-AKA patch for version 1.1.2 can be found in the former lists. EAP-AKA is more and more popular, so I want to know: (1). When EAP-AKA can be offically supported by FreeRADIUS? (2). How does FreeRADIUS support WiMAX? Thank you and best regards! Lishuai.Zhao

The patch is also in bugzilla.

Soon, I hope.
(2). How does FreeRADIUS support WiMAX?
No idea. What does the server have to do in order to support WiMAX? Please be specific. :) Alan DeKok. -- http://deployingradius.com - The web site of the book http://deployingradius.com/blog/ - The blog

So far (since WiMAX isn't fully defined yet) all it has to do is support EAP-TLS and EAP-TTLS. EAP-AKA is on the list for WiMAX and will probably be a required EAP method (as well as EAP-SIM) but right now, given the state of WiMAX, FreeRADIUS does support it!

Not only would FreeRADIUS have to support the required EAP methods, but new dictionary files would have to be defined to specify the WiMAX specific VSAs needed to fully enable a WiMAX device. As the previous poster said, WiMAX is not fully defined from a RADIUS perspective at this point.

Thats a given, and will happen as/when FreeRADIUS developers are interested, need it themselves, are sponsored by someone else who does, or an outsider donates the appropriate code.
but new dictionary files would have to be defined to specify the WiMAX specific VSAs needed to fully enable a WiMAX device.
Dictionary files are easy. We encourage any vendors to send us updated dictionary files for any equipment (Not just WiMAX). Alternatively users of equipment that doesn't have appropriate dictionaries should do so.
