Radius
GNU radius is a server for remote user authentication and
accounting and a set of accompanying utilities.
Radius is useful in a wide variety of applications from
dial-up user services to voice-over IP systems. It is designed to
handle ISP workloads, and can be scaled for any network that needs a
centralized authentication and/or accounting service for its
workstations. Radius' built-in extension language, Rewrite,
enables users to write special-case rules for parsing and restructuring
non-standard terminal server packets.
Features include:
- Supports a wide variety of authentication schemes
- User supplied authentication data via answering terminal
server login/password prompts
- PAP or CHAP protocols
- System or internal database storage of user's personal
data
- SQL or PAM authentication
- Three built-in accounting schemes:
- Unix accounting
- Plain text Detailed accounting
- SQL accounting
- Communicates with MySQL and PostgreSQL
servers. Other DBMS are supported via ODBC interface
- Fully extensible with support for two extension languages:
Rewrite and Scheme
- SNMP management
- Compatible with terminal servers
