[Users] Re: Regarding with openser and RADIUS ..

Hi!

Please always Cc: to the list.

There are several Radius servers you can use, e.g. Radiator or FreeRadius. Probably there are many more but I've never used them.

Radius can be used as authentication mechanism. The user data (login +
password) are stored in the Radius server and openser asks the Radius
server for verification. Thus, verification of credentials is done
inside the Radius server.

The other alternative is to use a database backend (subscriber table)
and openser authenicates against the credentials stored in the
subscriber table. Thus, verification of credentials is done inside
openser.

use the auth_radius module (or the other radius modules if you need more
features)

No. Usually the Radius server is on another PC.

If you do not know what Radius is and if you do not havfe the explicit
requirement to use Radius, then do not use it and use auth_db instead
(storing the user data in a database)

Also take a look at this thread:
