Hello Helen, thank you for your informative answer!

It's possible, but I don't think RADIUS is the right tool. Which one or which technics do you think ist the right solution for my problem?

We're running an apache 1.X webserver, which is located at an external provider. My problem is, that we need to authenticate webusers against our Windows 2000 Active Directory, which is located in our companies' local network.

I would recommend using an Apache module for this task. Maybe mod_ntlm, or mod_smb would be appropriate.

1) Is this idea a possible solution ... the right use of an radius-server? And, if yes: is freeradius the right tool for it?

It's possible, but I don't think RADIUS is the right tool.

2) If yes: Is it also possible, to gain group information about a user. (i. e. Is Fred Member of Group Foo? Which groups is Fred member of?)

Yes, but you can't use RADIUS to send that information to Apache.

...

3) if yes: how do I find an entry point for further information about this special subject?

If the documentation doesn't already contain the information you need, use google to search mailing list archives.
