| Install a RADIUS server |
| As defined in RFC 2865, Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) is "a protocol for |
| carrying authentication, authorization, and configuration information between Network Access |
| Server, which desires to authenticate its links, and a shared Authentication Server." In plain |
| English, RADIUS is a central server for managing authentication, authorization, and configuration |
| for all of your dial-up and VPN clients. For instance, if you have WLAN access points on your |
| network, you can use RADIUS server for user authentication and accounting. |
| Microsoft implemented RADIUS server in the Internet Authentication Service (IAS). To use IAS |
| on your network, you just need a Windows 2000 Server and a Windows 2000 domain controller |
| running Active Directory. Now, follow these steps to install your RADIUS server: |
| In the Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs and click Add/Remove Windows |
| Select Networking Services and click Details. |
| In the dialog box, check the Internet Authentication Service and click OK. |
| Click Next to finish the installation. |
| When prompted, insert the Windows 2000 CD-ROM. |
| Click Finish to close the dialog box. |
| Before you can use your newly installed RADIUS server, you have to configure it and each |
| individual RADIUS client. |
