Freeradius for WiMAX Authentication
Hi All, I was interested in knowing if we can use the Freeradius server for WiMAX Authentication. Some of the additional features that would be required are: 1. Vendor Specific Attributes inclusion in the Radius Messages(I think some amount of this can be done now - but can you tell me how) 2. Generation of WiMAX Session keys 3. Support for MSCHAPv2 inner authentication ?? 4. Support for HA ?? Where does the Freeradius server store the accounting records. Is it stored as a raw file or is there some processing done by the server on these records. Has anyone used Free radius for WiMAX testing before, if so can you give me some pointers on how and what 'more' modifications are needed. Thanks and Regards, Kiran Kumar.B WiMAX Test Engineer

It always could be done. You add them to the reply - just like any other attribute. It will work as long as freeradius has those attributes in the vendor dictionary.
2. Generation of WiMAX Session keys
Read raddb/modules/wimax.
3. Support for MSCHAPv2 inner authentication ??
Is there by default.
4. Support for HA ??
Have a backup (secondary) radius server on standby. Any NAS should be able to handle it. Ivan Kalik Kalik Informatika ISP
