Help Needed for setting up a Radius Server for Authentication

**jtan82** · 07-11-2006, 02:04 AM

Hi, i'm currently doing a project which requires me to setup a server on a linux platform.I have setup a computer with a linux OS (FC5).Have installed Radius to it but I realise that i need a user database to help do AAA. Authentication is very important to me because i will only allow certain people to gain access to my network.

Problem is I really know nuts about it.If i'm not wrong from the research that i did, i'm able to setup a user database using radius itself.(correct me if i'm wrong). Can someone give me some guidance of how to go about it. Detailed steps will be appreciated.

how i install it.
1)./configure
2)make
3)su (switch to root user)
4)make install

Which radius server did you install? FreeRadius ? If so, FreeRadius have a web based admin tool called DialupAdmin .

HTH ..

Yap i'm using freeradius.Is Dialup Admin a web interface to add a database of new user and password?If that is so, that means i dont have to do modification to radiusd.conf,clients.conf,users.conf.(am i right?)
