[c-nsp] Radius solution for VPN Concentrator and 802.1x

[Frederic LOUI]

Hi Luismi,

Freeradius is a good alternative and can be used to cover all the needs 
you mentioned.
Coupled with openldap, you can benefit from having all the LDAP 
Directory GUI for user creation.
In addition, you can use MySQL backend for accounting purposes.

As far as I could find, Freeradius is very popular so that's the reason 
why we decided to go for it.

Finally, the whole solution can run on LINUX. Netherveless, I agree with 
you that the learning curve is quite difficult.
And the documentation is quite "sparse" so that makes things more 
difficuklt to grasp.

But the time spent on learning the system.is worth the result.

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
