History of the AAA RADIUS Server and RADIUS Protocol
| PDF | HTML
The story of how the RADIUS server and RADIUS protocol came into existence, became a
de-facto standard, and eventually a recognized IETF standard.
Starting from from dial in security needs at Merit Network, RADIUS
weaved its way through the standards process, first as a de-facto
standard for NAS equipment vendors, and then through the IETF
standards body to become the internationally recognized standard
for network authentication, authorization, and accounting.
Introduction to Diameter
| PDF | HTML
The Diameter protocol was designed to overcome some of the earlier
shortcomings of RADIUS and is being adopted by an ever expanding
set of AAA requirements. This white paper provides an introduction
to the Diameter protocol, advantages over RADIUS, and the applications
targeted by Diameter.
Link Layer and Network Layer Security for Wireless Networks
| PDF | HTML
Wireless networking presents a significant security
challenge. There is an ongoing debate about where to address
this challenge: at the link layer (via 802.1X and a RADIUS server) or network layer (via VPN). This paper looks at the basic risks inherent
in wireless networking and explains both approaches, but concludes
that link layer security provides a more compelling, complete
solution and that network layer security serves well as an
enhancement in applications where additional WLAN security
is requested.
Wireless LAN Access Control and RADIUS Server Authentication
| PDF | HTML
Wireless networking is emerging as a significant aspect of
Internetworking. It presents a set of unique issues based
on the fact that the only bounds for a wireless network is
the radio signal strength. There is no wiring to define membership
in a network. Wireless networking, more than any other networking
technology, needs an Authentication and Access Control mechanism.
This paper looks at the access authentication issues, the
existing and proposed technologies, and scenarios for use of
a RADIUS Server for Wi-Fi Authentication.
Introduction to the RADIUS Server and 802.1x for Wireless Networks
| PDF | HTML
Many new WiFi access points are advertised
as employing IEEE 802.1X for enhanced security. Trade articles
about this new technology call it a "security protocol,"
a "security feature," a "security standard,"
an "authentication method," or a "user authentication
protocol" and promise "enhanced security" and
a "more secure environment." These claims do not
always provide an accurate picture of how 802.1X fits into
WiFi security. Despite all the hype, 802.1X through a RADIUS server, if utilized
properly, can indeed provide a WiFi network with a higher level
of security.
RADIUS Server Application
Notes
Abstracts
EAP-SIM Authentication Using Interlink Networks RAD-Series RADIUS Server
| PDF | HTML
This application note presents how Interlink Networks’
RADIUS Server can be deployed as a gateway between
an IP network and an SS7 network resulting in a shared authentication
service for both networks.
Configuring PEAP and TTLS in the Interlink Networks RAD-Series RADIUS Servers
| PDF | HTML
This application note explains how to configure the Interlink
Networks RADIUS Server to do TLS-protected authentication
using PEAP or the EAP-TTLS authentication method. This application
note only covers the configuration records in the server configuration
files. These are text files and can be edited with a text
editor. Use of the Interlink Server Manager for managing server
configurations is covered in the Administrator’s Guide.
RAD-Series RADIUS Server and Cisco Wireless Deployment Guide
| PDF| Overview
This document is intended to serve as a guideline to setup
Interlink Networks RADIUS Server and Cisco Access
Points (AP) to authenticate wireless local area network (WLAN)
clients that use Cisco's LEAP protocol. The scenarios covered
in the document include LEAP/EAP authentication and MAC address
authentication in separate VLANs configured on a dot1q AP.
Accurately configuring the APs and the RADIUS server in each
case is important. For non-dot1q configurations, the security
related configuration remains the same while the “Radio
to VLAN-mapping” configurations change.
Using the RAD-Series RADIUS Server Software with Microsoft Active Directory
| PDF | HTML
This article describes how to configure Interlink Networks
RADIUS server to authenticate users against a Microsoft
Active Directory Server.
Using 802.1x for Wireless Local Area Networks with RAD-Series RADIUS Server Software
| PDF
The IEEE 802.1x standard, Port Based Network Access Control,
defines a mechanism for port-based network access control
that makes use of the physical access characteristics of IEEE
802 LAN infrastructure. Many new 802.11 wireless LAN access
points are advertised as employing IEEE 802.1x for enhanced
security. Interlink Networks supports 802.1x in its
RADIUS Server. This application note outlines the required
steps to configure these products to authenticate WLAN users.
Enhancing Security and Service using RADIUS Server Dynamic Access Controls
| PDF
This application note provides examples of how to implement
dynamic policies using the AAA Server. Interlink
Networks has made it possible to implement powerful dynamic
access controls with the introduction of new attributes based
on the system clock of the server. Dynamic policies are powerful
tools for delivering value in various ways to customer and
company alike.
RAD-Series RADIUS Server and RSA Security Two-Factor Authentication
| PDF
This application note introduces the concept of two factor
authentication and explains how the RAD-Series RADIUS Server
integrates with RSA Security SecurID. Two-factor authentication
provides a way to make the authentication of network users
far more secure.
