Radius for Windows?

Somebody knows a free radius server for windows?

I found winradius and seems to be ok, but ...

1) i have to change manually to md5 the auth mode in my network card
settings

2) auth seems to work (even in radius log and dwl900ap+ stats i see that was
successfully completed) but can't surf

Somebody has an idea?

Ste

p.s.: recently i've tried a connection made with CISCO AIRONET AP. I really
don't know if it was a built in function of cisco, but i did not have to
make anything, just try to surf the web and a splash screen was requiring me
userid and password. It's exactly what i neeeeeed!

I know nothing about Radius, but I see that it is in the SMC7004WFW
wireless router that I have.
It may be part of the firmware upgrade that I just loaded. It's not
mentioned in the users' guide, and a search at SMC for Radius gives no
results.

A Radius server is made for users authentication

might sniff around at Funk Software,
see whom their customers are and then maybe nose around a little more.

I'd guess it isn't available on workstation, but you could just install IAS
(Internet Authentication Services) on Win2k Server since it is bundled in
for free with the OS. I use this at work to authenticate users coming into
the Cisco concentrator via domain credentials. The Cisco box forwards the
RADIUS request to the IAS box, which in turn passes the supplied credentials
to a domain controller for authentication. Just have to give the user Grant
User Dial-In rights and I also make sure they are part of a specified domain
group. Dead simple to setup for Windows domains. I would imagine it would
be just as simple authenticating locally if you do not have a domian -
though I haven't tried this.

The service has proven extremely reliable over the past year - never has
been down or unavailable.

Unfortunately it's not what i need

Radius server also have ability to set-up a pre-paid service (by time or by
traffic)

The Radius element is simply the authenticator. In order to add in
services like billing or pre-payment, the Radius server needs to have
some policies against which it can authenticate.

The Windows 2000 Radius server allows the administrator to assign
policies such as authentication by username, time of day, session limit,
mac address, type of connection e.g. VPN connection or otherwise.

If you want to add a billing option, then that's a policy feature, not
necessarily a Radius feature although a different vendors Radius server
might well present that as an option.

No reason why you can't build this into the Windows 2000 one, in fact it
would be pretty trivial to monitor the session time via a script or
programatically and simply disable the account through an ADSI call to
AD.
