I've been working on GL integration for many years, and for the last few years in GL and AR/AP standards work in ebXML, OMG, XBRL and other places.
There is a need for end-to-end principle before individuals can exchange transactions with other individuals, because nobody in history has ever delegated their GL or AR/Ap dealings to anybody even a family member, uniless they were incapacitated or something. In network era that is equivalent to giving somebody the custody of your wallet.
Now, I seem to understand that RADIUS DIAMETER enables server-to-server event notification, with some fairly extensive capability to communicate what/who/where etc. is being charged or credited.

Economic event notification is what GL integration is all about, these days. ERP. Resource accounting.
http://www.gldialtone.com/NDEAdef.htm and
http://www.gldialtone.com/UEEN.htm etc.
http://www.psc.edu/~lfm/Grid/UR-WG
Is it possible that an individual (for example, members of a community wireless network) might operate a RADIUS server and thereby, acquire an ability to send and receive payable/receivable notifications to/from other "ledgers" on the network? (note: the problems of reputation, creditworthiness, payment, settlement are an independent question to this question; you don't need to go there. we just need security and robust "state alignment" of ledger content .)
Primary use case: somebody providing an internet gateway generates receivables to all his downstream users and a payables to his ISP.
Secondary use case: everybody uses the thing as a general purpose payables/receivables framework to make bookkeeping easier, for casual business ("IOU's)

Thank you for any help on this point.

Msft is still working on the 802.1x supplicants for Win95, Win98 (+SE), WinME, and Win2K. They support
EAP-TLS and PEAP.
If you know where to gain access to beta code, they're available now.
I expect they'll be released ... soon.

Hi,
There are commercial 802.1X clients from Meetinghouse Datacommunications (www.mtghouse.com) and Funk Software > (www.funk.com).
As far as I know, there are no free ones (MS said a while ago they would provide one for W2K, but it seems that was abandoned since). I'm working on a free version (which should even become open-source), but I haven't had much time recently to work on it. I cannot release the sources right now because the NDIS protocol driver bit is strongly derived from MS examples, and is as such copyrighted material, but once I have rewritten that bit (which actually needs some significant changes anyway to add buffering and such), I'll gladly publish the sources so that everyone can help!
Just FYI, it has:
- NDIS protocol driver to bind to the interfaces (Ethernet and WLAN)
- built-in support for EAP-MD5 and EAP-SRP
- preliminary support for dynamic keying, but still having issues with it (the NDIS 5.1 interface)
- user interface to ask for username/password
- installer (using ghost installer)
- compilable with Cygwin gcc, but does not require Cygwin
To add:
- EAP-TLS, PEAP, EAP-MsCHAPv2...
- support for external EAP modules (either � la Windows, or with a better standardized interface to define)
- full NDIS 5.1 wireless configuration (� la XP Wireless Zero Config): this is needed because some drivers don't support having some bits set via NDIS and some others set via their own configuration interface (e.g. cisco), some others have a problem with mixed cells (e.g. orinoco), etc.
- Better UI (systray icon to show status, choice of validity of credentials, etc.)
- support for other Windows versions (95/98/Me/NT4)
and much more...
I hope to be able to have something that can be released within a month or two, but time is running short these days... :-(
Jacques.
