Freeware or inexpensive Radius server

|
|
| Can anyone recommend a reliable and scalable RADIUS server that runs on
Microsoft NT/2000/2003 platform? I need to test and deploy a RADIUS server
for centralized authentication, authorization and accounting for Cisco
routers.
Thanks

TCCRadius. Wouldn't call it inexpensive (at $650 USD) but it's
certainly cheaper than the major players like Steel-Belted.

I've used it to do authentication and IP address assignment for a
small-ish DSL WAN and it works very well. It's currently text file
configured but it's not very difficult and I believe there is a sheduled
upgrade to the 2004 edition which I think I'm right in saying has a GUI.

| What about the built-in RADIUS server called IAS (Internet Authentication
Server) that comes with Windows 2000 and 2003 Server products?

I'm not sure about the one with 2000/2003 but the one with NT4 (part of
the option pack) didn't seem to provide any way of sending options with
the accept/deny packet. By options I mean in a similar way to DHCP so
that you can assign an IP address and other things to your remote user.
Also the NT4 version was integrated with the NT domain user database
which was, for me, a bit of a pain as I only wanted a few totally
separate users (Routers) to connect rather than potentially anyone in
the company.

| Just download the free 90-day Cisco ACS eval if your practicing for an exam.
