Description
RADIUS: A Comprehensive Guide to Remote Authentication
This widely deployed protocol enables companies to authenticate, authorize and account for remote users accessing a system or service from a central network server. Originally developed for dial-up remote access, RADIUS is now used in various network access types, including virtual private networks, wireless access points, and Ethernet switches.
Author Jonathan Hassell provides a detailed guide to the underpinnings of the RADIUS protocol, with a focus on user accounting. He shares practical suggestions for implementing RADIUS and offers instructions for using an open-source variation called FreeRADIUS, making it an essential resource for IT professionals and network administrators.
