Hi Jess, Radius has nothing to do with controlling traffic, wireless --> Network Radius ----> Network LDAP(AD)---> Network is more like it ... accesspoint just checks if it can allow the user/mac/workstation with the radius server. now if you need some sort of bandwidth controller(RAS) or your accesspoint can not use radius directly, you can use chillispot which has captive portal (Like wifi hotspots).
Wireless--->Private wireless Network--->Chillispot---->Rest of the network you can buy wifi accesspoints with chillispot(linksys wrt accesspoints). to give you a scenario on how we use radius in our company. In out company we employees access the internet through vpn(PPTP on cisco router) which authenticates with freeradius which in turn, pulls user's profile and authenticates them against LDAP(Active Directory) ...

I'm going to start researching LDAP. I would like to add authenication for wireless though via FreeRadius. Are there any good sites/guides on how to do this? Does my network setup need to be like this for it to work: Internet -> Router W/ Wireless -> Nic1 of server running freeradius Nic2 Switch that connects rest of network -Jesse On Sat, Sep 6, 2008 at 3:14 AM, Alan DeKok <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Jesse Stone wrote: > > What do large companies that have many users/linux machines use to > > handle user administration? > > LDAP. > > And they generally don't have complicated permissions policies. > They're just too hard to maintain. > > RADIUS is mostly for dial-up or WiFi access. > > Alan DeKok. > - > List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
