Overview
FreeRADIUS is the most popular open source RADIUS server[2] and the most widely deployed RADIUS server in the world.[2] It supports all common authentication protocols, and the server comes with a PHPbased web user administration tool called dialupadmin . It is the basis for many commercial RADIUS products and services, such as embedded systems, RADIUS appliances that support Network Access Control, and WiMAX. It supplies the AAA needs of many Fortune-500 companies, telcos, and Tier 1 ISPs. It is also widely used in the academic community, including eduroam. The server is fast, featurerich, modular, and scalable. The currently shipping stable version is 2.2.0.

#m y s q lu r a d i u spr a d i u s</ e t c / r a d d b / s q l / m y s q l / s c h e m a . s q l

On Debian/Ubuntu

#m y s q lu r a d i u spr a d i u s</ e t c / f r e e r a d i u s / s q l / m y s q l / s c h e m a . s q l

2. hazarder Hi people! I was just in the middle of the same installation It is great howto. But Ipad/Iphone/Linux register to wifi great. What about Windows 7/8, Android phone, Nokia Symbian phone? I found some howtos regarding importing certificates. But this is not acceptable. Auth should be done just via user/pass, on any device. Suggestions? May 28, 2013 Reply
