Based on current +statistics, there are over 50,000 deployments of the software. These +deployments include small sites with 10 users, large-scale enterprises with +tens of thousands of users, and carrier-class deployments with over 10 million +users. In total, the sites that we know are using FreeRADIUS support nearly +100 million users. The only other servers that come close in terms of market +share and/or number of sites are ACS and IAS. - o Can limit max. number of simultaneous logins on a per-user basis! - o Multiple DEFAULT entries, that can optionally fall-through. - o In fact, every entry can fall-through - o Deny/permit access based on huntgroup users dials into - o Set certain parameters (such as static IP address) based on huntgroup - o Extra "hints" file that can select SLIP/PPP/rlogin based on - username pattern (Puser or user.ppp is PPP, plain "user" is rlogin etc). - o Can execute an external program when user has authenticated (for example - to run a sendmail queue). - o Can use `$INCLUDE filename' in radiusd.conf, users, and dictionary files - o Can act as a proxy server, relaying requests to a remote server - o Supports Vendor-Specific attributes - o No good documentation at all, just like the original radiusd 1.16! +The server scales easily 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 most commercial servers. It +includes support for SQL, LDAP, RADIUS Proxying, failover, load balancing, and +nearly 100 vendor dictionary files. It can perform authentications via the +PAP, CHAP, MS-CHAP, EAP-MD5, EAP-GTC, EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, PEAPv0, LEAP, +EAP-SIM, and Digest authentication protocols. It has reached a stable 1.1 +version, with incremental improvements added in each release. + +The server is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL), which means +that it is free to download and install. - Then of course for general RADIUS questions, especially if you are using - Livingston / Lucent RABU equipment, there is the portmaster-radius mailing - list.
