Hi list, what can bring a RADIUS server in the equation? (I never used one, so my knowledge is basic: centralized authentication using PAP or CHAP protocols) JY -- The human race never solves any of its problems. It merely outlives them. -- David Gerrold
Hmm well yes, but PAP/CHAP is what you would used to auth a PPP user. In the case of FS, Radius would just authenticate. With the right client on the FS side, you could send all the parameters you want to FS, like where to route the call, etc... Also, Radius does accounting, so billing. I am not sure why Radius would be a better choice than a native SQL custom client, but there are probably pros and cons.

Ok, until this point quite similar to LDAP (without the headaches though:)
Also, Radius does accounting, so billing.
Ha ok, so the data exchange is bidir.
I am not sure why Radius would be a better choice than a native SQL custom client, but there are probably pros and cons.
From what I read (wikipedia), RADIUS precisely avoid multiple DB replications in favor of only one DB for multiple RADIUS svrs (as for ISPs modems, emailing logins, etc) by securing all communications conveying the authentication data. Thanks David. -- Hear about... the new rule at the girls' school? Lights out by ten, candles by eleven.
