I have a requirement to provide central authentication for a variety of Networking and Unix/Linux Server devices. Network devices are to authenticate using RADIUS, and Servers are to authenticate using LDAP. Getting the Unix/Linux -> LDAP authentication working is something I'm reasonably familiar with. RADIUS is not. I've come across this page which seems to cover what I want from FreeRADIUS: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/archived/LDAP-Implementation-HOWTO/radius.html However, some of the comments in /etc/raddb/modules/ldap about setting "Auth-Type = LDAP" concern me. Can someone with knowledge of this kind of setup please advise on the best way forward?

Install 2.1.8. Read raddb/modules/ldap. Configure it. Uncomment references to "ldap" in raddb/sites-available/default. Start the server.

That documentation is years out of date.

Read the documentation that comes with the server, and the comments in the configuration files. It *should* be pretty straightforward. Alan DeKok.

I figured that document was out of date. Thanks for the pointers; I'll give them a try. Mark. -- Mark Watts BSc RHCE MBCS Senior Systems Engineer, Managed Services Manpower www.QinetiQ.com QinetiQ - Delivering customer-focused solutions GPG Key: http://www.linux-corner.info/mwatts.gpg
