RE: RADIUS on Linux Network

[Paulo C. Panaligan]

thanks for replying. this is going to be my graduation project. I am trying to setup a network consisting of Linux and Windows XP. The server (RADIUS) is going to be installed on the linux having my Windows XP as my client. I was going to set up three workstations running three different OS but then I realized that I don't have much time to do so. What materials do I need to have and how do I start it with? thx in advance.

Paulo,

 

What are you using for a VPN server?  I am assuming you want to use freeradius to

authenticate remote users who are connecting to the VPN server to then gain access

to resources on your network.

Subject: RADIUS on Linux Network

Hello! My name is Paulo. I would like to set up a network using at least two different operating systems. My main choices are SUSE Linux and Windows XP (not Windows 2K). I am planning to set up a network that runs through a RADIUS server. I will install the server to SUSE Linux and having my Windows XP as my client. I am also planning to have my client to access the server remotely from any locations using a VPN connection. I don't know if this is possible. I am not really familiar with Linux and having a problem to start with. My Windows XP is loaded into my built-in Wi-Fi laptop and I am about to load SUSE Linux into one of my old computers. What other devices should be involved? I am really having trouble configuring out on how to build this kind of network. I need to get this done in less than two weeks. If you have any help to offer, please contact me as soon as possible. Thank you in advance. I will be waiting for your reply.
