URL : http://www.freeradius.org/
License : GPLv2+ and LGPLv2+
Description : The FreeRADIUS Server Project is a high performance and highly
: configurable GPL'd free RADIUS server. The server is similar in
: some respects to Livingston's 2.0 server. While FreeRADIUS
: started as a variant of the Cistron RADIUS server, they don't
: share a lot in common any more. It now has many more features than
: Cistron or Livingston, and is much more configurable.
:
: FreeRADIUS is an Internet authentication daemon, which implements
: the RADIUS protocol, as defined in RFC 2865 (and others). It
: allows Network Access Servers (NAS boxes) to perform
: authentication for dial-up users. There are also RADIUS clients
: available for Web servers, firewalls, Unix logins, and more.
: Using RADIUS allows authentication and authorization for a network
: to be centralized, and minimizes the amount of re-configuration
: which has to be done when adding or deleting new users.
