Radius Server

Hi,

I would like to experiment ( and learn ) using a Radius running on PC.

I would be most grateful if anyone can suggest where I can download a
free version of radius to run a windows xp platform.

Also tutorial with it would be most helpful.

Regards

Pete

FreeRadius runs on a Linux server. I think he asked for Windoze XP as
the RADIUS server.

If you can find a Windoze 2003 server, IAS (Internet Authentication
Service) is RADIUS in disguise.

There are numerous commercial and shareware RADIUS servers that Google
will find. Most allow a 30 day trial so you can learn by destroying.
I haven't found one I like yet, so I won't make any recommendations. I
just found one that's free:
<http://www.tekradius.com>
Kinda sparce. I haven't tried it so save me some effort and report
back how well (or badly) it worked.

One of the headaches is configuring the RADIUS servers. There are
plenty of ways to do it wrong (as I've found out the hard way). See:
<http://www.radutils.com> $30
for a RADIUS server testing tool.

Yes it is a Windows XP server I am interested in.
I would very much like to provide a feedback on TekRADIUS ... but I am
really is a very early learning stage that it could be a while before
I come back.

I thought I could simply install a radius server and be able to use
it ... a bit like plug & play.

Thanks for the feeback.

It's not as horrible as it sounds. I'm one of those people that just
will not read instructions until after I get into trouble. The
results are predictable.

TekRADIUS looks about as simple as it gets. However, it does make the
assumption that you have an SQL server available, which may be a
problem. Read the docs and see if you can handle it:
<http://www.tekradius.com/Manual.pdf>
I haven't tried it yet, but it looks like MySQL runs on Windoze:
<http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.0.html#win32>
So much for simple.

Life is not so simple with Windoze Server 2003 IAS. I think I used
this guide (not sure but looks familiar):
<http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-1035-6148579.html>
for my initial installation and setup. I then spent some time digging
through the MS troubleshooting guides:
<http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServer/en/Library/ecc10b32-898a-435f-9d5c-01c25fb4d1f61033.mspx>
I eventually uninstalled the whole mess, rolled the registry back to
before I started, and tried again. It worked.

Thats was a prompt response ...
I thought the "Windoze Server 2003 IAS" would be a simple to use as
it was a Microsoft product ... I guess I can't use this with Windows
XP.

Sorry if I sound dump but is "Microsoft SQL Server" and "MySql" the
same ?

Jeff

Have you used radius server from the following site ?
http://www.freeradius.net/

Thanks

Pete

Sunday 4.56am
Looking forward to watching the Brazilian Grand Prix.

It was an accident. However, don't worry. It won't happen again.

>> I thought the "Windoze Server 2003 IAS" would be a simple to use as

Nope. It requires Windoze Server 2003 which is a different MS
product.

>> Sorry if I sound dump but is "Microsoft SQL Server" and "MySql" the

No way. MySQL is open source and available for Windoze and Linux.
MSSQL is Windoze only and is not free.

>Have you used radius server from the following site ?

Oops. Looks like I haven't been paying attention. That's FreeRadius
ported to Windoze. I thought it was Linux only. My appologies for
the misinformation. However, note that it still requires an SQL
server, in this case MySQL.

Not Jeff but I remember compiling freeradius on a Windows box under
Cygwin as a tinkering project and it wasn't stable. Hope you report back
on the Win32 version.

On the bright side you learn more about it, its more fun, and the sky
looks more blue.
