#6 Re: Creating a radius based VPN with support for Windows clients Posted by jim-barber (203.188.xx.xx) on Fri 16 Sep 2005 at 00:46 Actually LDAP doesn't come into it... Steve, if you read this, can you remove the reference to LDAP in the introduction please? These are instructions for creating a VPN server for IPSec/L2TP VPN connections where the users are authenticated against a RADIUS server. RADIUS stands for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service. A RADIUS server is an Authentication, Authorisation, and Access (AAA) server. It contains user definitions and passwords, for authenticating users, and is usually used for when users connect to your network. An example of a common use for a RADIUS server is to communicate with a Network Access Server at an Telco where all your user's ADSL connection terminate. The RADIUS server is able to send back paramaters that define the connection, such as supplying an IP address, specify whether the connection is throttled, etc. I'm still just a beginner when it comes to RADIUS myself.
