Description:
FreeRADIUS is the premiere open source RADIUS server. While
detailed statistics are not available, we believe that FreeRADIUS
is well within the top 5 RADIUS servers world-wide, in terms of the
number of people who use it daily for authentication.
FreeRADIUS project scales from embedded systems with small
amounts of memory, to systems with millions of users. It is fast,
flexible, configurable, and supports more authentication protocols
than many commercial servers.
The FreeRADIUS Server Project encompasses more than just a
RADIUS server. The related software includes a PAM authentication
module, and an Apache 1.3 and 2.0 authentication module. The server
comes with a PHP-based web user administration tool, called
dialupadmin.
The RADIUS server has more features and is more flexible than
any other free software RADIUS server, and many commercial servers.
Most commercial servers are distributed as a "base" system ($),
and an "enhanced" version ($$) with more features. FreeRADIUS has
all the features of a commercial "enhanced" server, without the
associated cost.
In it simplest form, the server is similar to Livingston's 2.0
server. Many configuration files are similar, and the general
operation of the server should be familiar to anyone who has used a
variant of the Livingston server.
FreeRADIUS can be extended significantly from this simple form,
however. There are many modules and configuration files which have
no equivalent in older RADIUS servers. These new features permit
FreeRADIUS to work within complex systems, and environments which
require high performance.
To support the demanding requirements of a modern RADIUS
server, FreeRADIUS features more than 50 vendor-specific dictionary
files. It ships with support for LDAP, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle
databases. It supports EAP, with EAP-MD5, EAP-SIM, EAP-TLS,
EAP-TTLS, EAP-PEAP, and Cisco LEAP sub-types.
It supports proxying, with fail-over and load balancing. It has
reached a stable 1.0 release, with incremental improvements being
added and tested daily. In short, it is a powerful, fast, and
complex RADIUS server which is compatible with the latest network
protocols and practices, and is well suited for deployment in any
size network.
What's New in This Release:
· This release is the culmination of three years of
heavy development.
· It adds "virtual server" support, IPv6, and a new
policy language ("man unlang").
· All common EAP types can be used, including
experimental support for EAP-FAST and EAP-TNC.
· MAC address authentication and VLAN assignment can now
be done using the VMPS protocol.
· Limited HUP capabilities have been added, along with
updated documentation and examples.
· The server is much easier to install, configure, and
debug.
