Yes it would. In this case NPS makes no sense to you. You'd need a CAL for each user /or/ device the user is connecting from.

Would NPS look to AD for the username and password information? I would need a CAL for each device I think.

I imagine it would work fine for your Sprint project. You can just install it on your DCs in most cases. Thanks, Brian Desmond [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> c - 312.731.3132 From: Ryan Finnesey [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, September 10, 2010 11:24 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RADIUS Server I wanted to get the groups feedback on RADIUS servers. In the past (NT 4.0/2000 days) I would of used Funk Software's Steel-Belted Radius but Funk Software has been acquired by Juniper Networks. We require a RADIUS server to authenticate devices connecting to the Sprint 3G/4G Data link service. Per the Data Link install guide * Data Link can support proxy authentication to the customer's enterprise AAA server running the RADIUS protocol. This equipment is managed by the customer and resides on their network. * Sprint supports RADIUS ports UDP 1812/1813 and 1645/1646 for authentication and accounting. * RADIUS "Time to Live" (TTL) is 500 milliseconds on the Data Link network and timeouts are set accordingly. RFC 3344 only supports CHAP-MD5 and CHAP requires that the customer authentication server have access to the user password in clear text. * For static IP implementations, the customer will need to add the Framed-IP-Address RADIUS return list attribute to every user with an IP as the value. * Customer user databases or directories that encrypt the user password are not supported. * If the customer uses a backend database or LDAP directory, the passwords must be stored in clear text. I would like a server that will support failover, I see there is within Windows Server 2008, Network Policy Server (NPS) but I do not know if this is the best option and I am still researching if NPS will meet Sprints requirements.
