Freeradius and biometric devices

2006-12-08 Thread Kenneth Penza
Hi,

I am trying to setup a biometric authentication using
freeradius, first the user gives his/her password and
then uses fingerprint information. On positive matches
the user is authenticated. 

Can it be implemented? Is there literature that I
need to have a look at?


Thanks in advance
Kenneth

  Almost anything can be implemented.  The question is how does the
fingerprint information get to the RADIUS server?  And what does the
RADIUS server do with it?

Alan,

I was thinking to have the reader on the client side
and send the password and the biometric data to the
freeradius on the server, which in turn checks and
upon the outcome the user is authenticated or not. I
do not know which attribute should i use for the
biometric data.

Regards
Kenneth
