The Cisco PIX firewall has the option to do RADIUS authentication before allowing a TCP session to set up for a certain protocol. For example, if you wanted to control who was able to Telnet into your network through the firewall you could configure the PIX to check with your RADIUS server to see if the source IP is allowed. With all of the flexibility of a RADIUS server like Radiator you it doesn't take much to see why this is so much cooler than maintaing access lists or manually defining conduits on the firewall. The docs are on the Cisco site, I think if you search for PIX and RADIUS you'll come up with it.

Does anyone have information or details about what devices support this behaviour. Anyone used it in anger. Can it be used to monitor and control access to a LAN segment? Responses direct to me please. Cheers. -- Mike McCauley [EMAIL PROTECTED] Open System Consultants Pty.
