IIS authentication with FREERADIUS !
Hello All, I am stuck in a situation and need help. I have a ISP type local network, I am using Mikrotik router as PPPOE server and FREERADIUS (ubuntu) as a radius server for about 2000+ users. I Have 5 Terabyte of Media sharing server, (hosted on IIS FTP) , Is there any way that IIS can get authentication from FREERADIUS ? so that only those users can access ftp media sharing server who have account on radius server. Can you please give me some hints on how I can configure IIS to use authentication from FREERADIUS server ? Help plz :) Regards, SYED JAHANZAIB -- View this message in context: http://freeradius.1045715.n5.nabble.com/IIS-authentication-with-FREERADIUS-t...

Ask microsoft or IIS list. Personally I'd just dump IIS and use something like linux+proftpd instead: http://www.proftpd.org/docs/contrib/mod_radius.html -- Fajar
Hi,
Personally I'd just dump IIS and use something like linux+proftpd instead: http://www.proftpd.org/docs/contrib/mod_radius.html
I was going to say the same thing - use the Linux/BSD box with FTP as the access layer - no trouble with the RADIUS integration then alan
The 'client' refuses to use Linux to share there media ftp server because of some of there own reasons. They insist to stick on IIS. So again I am asking for help , is there any way IIS can get authentication from freeradius server. there is a utility called RADIIS which does the job, but its expensive (400$) . any other workaround ?

You're missing the point. This is freeradius list, not microsoft/IIS list. If IIS can use radius protocol (with any radius server) for authentication, then you should be able to integrate it with freeradius. If it uses some custom specific radius attribute, then maybe we'll be able to help you to add that custom attribute to the dictionary. But the problem is you're asking whether IIS supports radius. I don't know. I don't use IIS. And judging from the (lack of) response you get, nobody on this list knows (or care) either. So again, my suggestion is "ask microsoft or IIS list" -- Fajar
I have asked several times on MS IIS forums as well as with some Microsoft experts, but no one seems to know about this. So finally I guess I have to drop this idea of IIS integration with free-radius and move on to some other methods, including using Linux or moving ftp behind MT DMZ. Thanks for the help :) Date: Wed, 6 Jul 2011 02:20:11 -0700 From: ml-node+4556268-1289557026-226664@n5.nabble.com To: aacable@hotmail.com Subject: Re: IIS authentication with FREERADIUS !

I really don't see the problem with that. If they expect the IIS solution to be cheap and work out-of-the-box, then their expectations need serious adjustments. My advice to you is to not try to plaster over the facts. You'll only end up with the blame for all the problems *their choice* resulted in. USD 400 cannot be expensive in Microsoft-land. It's about 2 client licenses for a Windows Small Business Server. If you run a business based entirely on Microsoft software, your licensing fees alone will probably be around USD 1000 *per employee* just to get a basic setup (server, desktop-OS, office suite). If they are unhappy with the costs, then there are alternatives. If they don't want the alternatives, then ask in some Microsoft forum instead. Bjørn
