It supports HA for itself and its database back-ends, and has a web gui
(dialupadmin) for those so inclined, that does everything that the OP

Most Unix-like OSs have pre-built packages that can be installed via its
packaging system. The documentation explains very clearly on how to
install it onto a myraid of systems.

Actually, the documentation for FreeRADIUS is quite good. Even the
configuration files are full of notes explaining exactly what each
config variable does, and how to set it.

Also, FreeRADIUS has an extremely active mailing list, where I don't
think I've seen a day go by in years where the primary developer (Alan
DeKok) hasn't responded to at least one thread.
