Which protocols work with which authentication systems?

[Network RADIUS]

**
Authentication systems and protocol compatibility
---------------------------------------------
Not all authentication protocols work with all authentication systems.

In many network configurations, there will be some transactions for which the RADIUS server will not perform the authentication itself, but simply pass credentials to a third party system and rely on the pass/fail response it gets from that system. Unfortunately, not all of these authentication systems work with all password storage formats. In these scenarios, it is important to realize that the incompatibility is between the authentication system and the password format, not the RADIUS system.

This article walks explains which protocols work with which authentication systems. We also discuss the implications of an incompatibility.

** What is the relationship between Network RADIUS and FreeRADIUS?
----------------------------------------------
FreeRADIUS is an open source implementation of the RADIUS protocol and was written by Alan DeKok in 1999.

Network RADIUS is a private, for-profit company founded by Alan DeKok which provides commercial support for FreeRADIUS. The Network RADIUS team has been the primary contributor to FreeRADIUS for the last 20 years. The FreeRADIUS mailing list, wiki, and documentation are all moderated and maintained by the Network RADIUS team.

FreeRADIUS has always been, and will always continue to be, open source. The Network RADIUS team provides commercial support to paying clients, and free product development for the FreeRADIUS community at large.

All of our software development for FreeRADIUS is integrated into the Open Source platform, and will always continue to be.
