Multiple radius servers on one machine
I have two applications that authenticate via radius. These applications require separate radius conf files, log files, users files, etc. How can I run two distinct radius servers on one server to serve these applications? Also, these applications run on one server, so how can I have their server connect each application to the appropriate radius server? Thanks!
might i suggest using virtual machines, instead of messing around with multiple instances. (radius is rather non resource intensive) On Thu, Jun 12, 2008 at 8:11 PM, ournixnation@gmail.com <ournixnation@gmail.com> wrote:

If I can avoid it, I would not like to mess around with virtual machines. On Thu, Jun 12, 2008 at 8:11 PM, ournixnation@gmail.com <ournixnation@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi,
might i suggest using virtual machines, instead of messing around with multiple instances. (radius is rather non resource intensive)

as a long-term user, i would say that using virtual machines is EASIER and more bvious etc than running two competely seperate daemons for this sort of purpose alan
Just to clarify, you're talking about freeradius virtual servers not virtual machines like VMware or Parallels, right? On Jun 12, 2008, at 11:02 PM, A.L.M.Buxey@lboro.ac.uk wrote:

If I do decide to run multiple radius daemons, how can I tell the application server running pptpd and xl2tpd, which both authenticate ppp sessions via radius, to use radius server1 for pptpd and radius server2 for xl2tpd?

you'll need to set up different ports on your application servers. same IP for radius and different ports so your servers will use different instances.. ... On Fri, Jun 13, 2008 at 8:40 AM, ournixnation@gmail.com < ournixnation@gmail.com> wrote:

Seems like a question for the list appropriate to your NAS, and not a freeradius question at all. On Jun 12, 2008, at 11:40 PM, ournixnation@gmail.com wrote:

$ man radiusd Use the '-d' parameter to have completely separate configuration directories.

The RADIUS servers will have to listen on different ports. Alan DeKok.
