Good free Windows Radius server?

Paul Boz

A co worker of mine asked me to help him find a quality free radius server that runs on Windows. I've never used a radius server on Windows before, never mind freeware, so I thought I would ask you guys

TekRADIUS - Radius Server for Windows - first result in google haven't tried it myself but looks like it will do the job.

Not to be a dick, but if I wanted to tell my friend "google it" I would have. I'm looking for something that someone has used before, not a buggy program that may or may not install a ton of spyware with it. I'll install this in the lab at work and see whats up.

If you have Server 2000/2003 you can run IAS which is available as part of Server 2000/2003. If you are planning to run this on something like an XP box then you are stuck with TekRadius it seems, as that was the only thing I could come up with as free on a Windows platform through a Google search as well...

Paul,

Any reason he can't use IAS? Is this going to be used in a production environment where Windows Server will likely be running anyway? IAS works fine in my environment and so far has done everything I need it to do.

So not to be a dick, but maybe you should have googled it, because you could have found that Windows includes a RADIUS server.

Give Paul a break. He's getting lasers shot into his eyes on Friday the thirteenth. I would be a little on-edge too!

+4 (or whatever it is at this point) for IAS.

Paul Boz

I'm not on edge, I'm asking a question on behalf of someone that asked me the question exactly the way I presented it. I'll give him the solutions presented here, thanks guys.

Yeah man, IAS is added on using the control panel >> add/remove programs >> windows components >> networking services . We use it all the time for authentication. It's solid and free.

I wasn't trying to tell you to google it at all Paul all I was saying was I found it in a google search I took a look at the page it looked usable and I gave you the link. You didn't say it needed to be used at an enterprise level so it looked perfect for that.
