Freeradius Hardware requirements
Hi all, Please help me if you can. I need some data about Freeradius hardware "requirements". This is for a project I'm working on and I need to establish a minimum hardware requirements for a radius server (Freeradius 2.0.5) that will serve about 3000 users, and will be used as authentication and authorization server for some wireless AP's and 802.1x switches. It's expected that users will massively login (400 or more) at certain time and after that re-authentication will happen every 6 or 10 mn, for 802.1x clients. Also I have some doubts about were to store user info, sql DB (postgres maybe) or LDAP. What would it be the better solution, in terms of performance. The OS is a debian alike (2.6.19 kernel). Can anybody provide me some info on this? Thanks in advance Nelson Vale

Any commodity system will be fine.

"Massive login" at 400 users? There are ISP's with 10M users running FreeRADIUS. When a dial-up POP reboots, 30k users log in in 30s. FreeRADIUS handles this fine.

PostGreSQL would be my choice. Alan DeKok.
