Hi all,

By using Radius Distribution for Linux (livingston, GNU, Cistron... etc)

Is it possible to configure Radius Server for use Active Directory accounts
?

Does IAS is alone to do it ?

ThankYou very much

Best Regards
NS

The communications between the RADIUS server and user database is not
defined by the RADIUS RFCs. I've never looked for one that does it, but
there is no reason you couldn't use LDAP authentication from the RADIUS
server in order to validate users.

If you already have AD infrastructure, why wouldn't you just use IAS?? The
cost of licensing seems miniscule to the dev effort you might otherwise
undertake.
