Supports multiple authentication protocols: PAP, CHAP, MSCHAPv1 and MSCHAPv2, HTTP digest/SIP, Wireless 802.1x/EAP
authentication: EAP-LEAP (Cisco aironet), EAP-PEAP (v0 and v1), EAP-TTLS, EAP-GTC, EAP-MD5 and EAP-MSCHAPv2.
-
Authenticate users from a wide range of sources, multiple sources can be used concurrently on a per-user or per-domain basis.
Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) support for Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL and others as configured.
Standard RADIUS Users text file, UNIX password file,
Windows authentication (SAM,AD..etc) (RadiusNT only), UNIX authentication (local, NIS+..etc) (RadiusX Only).
Additional sources available in Enterprise version.
- IPv6 transport and attributes
- Multiple database password formats supporting plain text, Emerald encrypted (AES), unix crypt, unix bigcrypt, MD5, SMD5, SHA1 and SSHA1.
- Distributed session concurrency control on a per-user and per-group basis.
- Extensive logging and debug options including packet and encrypted tunnel level logging and support for syslog hosts.
- Takes advantage of an unlimited number of ODBC databases for fault tolerant authentication and accounting services.
- Main memory indexing provides fast response times for large numbers of users and session profiles.
- Cisco VOIP attribute parsing for accounting.
- 'Smart caching' optionally keeps external ODBC database accounts synchronized with fast internal database for higher performance and an additional layer of fault tolerance against external database failure.
- Self-tuning ODBC accounting spooler dynamically provides high throughput or high concurrency based on current accounting load.
- Attribute filtering support rules based modification of attributes as well as external ODBC access allowing complex decisions to be made based on attributes coming in, going out or proxied through RadiusNT/X. Attribute filtering enables new classes of operator specific applications without custom programming or scripting.
- Rule based attribute proxy of authentication or accounting requests
- Alternate failure profiles allow bad requests to be acknowledged with a custom set of attributes. This allows the configuring of limited network access for customers whose accounts may have lapsed or need to pay for additional network access.
- Strip domain capabilities for flexible roaming support
- IP address pool management
- DNIS restriction and access
- Server and port access controls with individual time of day and session limits
- Intelligent database interface - Dynamic parameter checking allows authentication stored procedure full access to RADIUS attributes. All internal queries are documented and configurable through the administrative web interface. They provide complete control over the ODBC database interface and make integration with third-party systems easy.
- Attribute based authentication reject list
- Real-time view of all established user sessions
- User-updatable RADIUS dictionary. Included dictionary contains specific VSAs for over sixty popular vendors. Need support for an unknown vendor? Simply send us the vendors RADIUS dictionary and our support staff will provide you with an automated update script to support the new vendor.
- SNMP Statistics provides detailed information in real-time about the RADIUS server to an external monitoring station such as WhatsUp, MRTG, Openview, Solarwinds and other SNMP capable monitoring packages.
- Extensive, Scalable proxy roaming /w proxy server load balancing, rate limiting, failover, proxy loop detection, accounting store & forward modes, complete proxy replay at all stages and retry dampening to proxy targets provides a higher level of efficiency and reliability in large roaming/aggregation networks.
- Packet replay for local requests improves performance over congested networks and improves consistency of accounting data by better detecting duplicate requests
- Virtual Class correlation provides best-effort Class attribute support for both local and proxy requests in cases where NAS devices are not capable of supporting the Class attribute
- Eliminates the need to maintain separate subscriber lists for security and billing, and enables enhanced billing schemes such as network usage, prepaid and VOIP
- All local RADIUS server configurations can be stored in an ODBC database allowing central management of any number of RadiusNT/X servers
- Comphrensive datatype support includes standard RADIUS, Ascend binary filters, Tunnel (Tag) attributes, IPv6 and RedBack 64-bit integers.
- Compatible with RADIUS-compliant NAS, VPNs and wireless APs from hundreds of vendors. Please contact us if you have questions about compatibility.
- Includes our RADIUS test client. The test client provides valuable testing and NAS simulation facilities in addition to health monitoring and notification for up to hundreds of RFC compliant RADIUS servers.
RadiusNT/X version 6 Enterprise only features
- Token card authentication for RSA's SecurID, Axents Defender and Secure Computings Safeword.
