  My $0.02 is that licenses aren't an issue.  FUD around licenses is an
issue.

Hi
I proposed to use TinyRadius but they refused it. they consider it
(contamination risk AND the IPR risk )

So they opt to FreeRadius Client. It's a C library, had to be used from a
Java application, it would need to be called either via JNI, or simply
linked into a small C main program and then spawned from Java as an external
process.

I'm a beginner in c development [?]. someone can help me  to do this??

thanks in advance

Is it because you don't want the end product to use GPL?

AFAIK freeradius by itself does not have java bindings, so you can't
connect it directly

Have you tried
http://www.google.com/search?q=radius+java
http://tinyradius.sourceforge.net/ (since it's LGPL, if you use it
without modification, your end product does not have to be licensed as
GPL/LGPL)

well, thats a little ridiculous as a standpoint - what about if it
can give you a competitive edge?  surely business is about profits
and returns to eg shareholders...not about some kneee jerk reaction to
software licencing models?

use freeRadius client to connect a java application

[Noura Kossentini]

Hi,

In our company it's forbidden to use products with GPL License. So I ca not
use Jradius client to connect my client application to a radius server.

Since that FreeRadius is distributed under BSD, it's allowed to me to use
this library.

My queqtion is can you help me on how can I connect and authenticate my java
application to a radius server using FreeRadius client??

Thanks in advance

Regards
Noura
