Hello List: Consider me a newbie to both LINUX & freeRADIUS.
Currently, I am running a RH6 server "taos", with about 200 users. Users dial-in into an ARIAL-4200 modem bank (modem bank is a card in this server) which in turn authenticates their UID/PW (I think it is PAP authentication). I add new users by using the standard RH add user screen and I can see that UID/PW information is in "/etc/passwd" file. I hope you get the picture. Now I have setup "rdx" (RH9 & freeRADIUS-0.9.3) server and tested it by adding couple of users. I am trying to figure out a ways to authenticate the current users on new server. I have considered the following: (1) Manually, add each UID/PW to "rdx" for authentication, (2) Manually copy "/etc/password" file from "taos" to "rdx", or (3) Direct freeRADIUS server "rdx" to "taos" to authenticate UID/PW. I prefer the (3) method. So my question: Is it possible to setup a freeRADIUS to look for UID/PW in another server to do authentication? Thanks. Kirti - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
