FreeRADIUS is a modular RADIUS suite developed and distributed under the GNU General Public License, version 2. The suite includes a RADIUS server, a BSD-licensed RADIUS client library, a PAM library, an Apache module, and related utilities and development libraries.
FreeRADIUS
In most cases, the word "FreeRADIUS" refers to the free open-source RADIUS server from this suite.
History FreeRADIUS was started in August 1999 by Alan DeKok and Miquel van Smoorenburg. Miquel had previously written the Cistron RADIUS server, which had gained widespread usage once the Livingston server was no longer being maintained. FreeRADIUS was started to create a new RADIUS server, using a modular design that would encourage more active community involvement.
Features Modules included with the server core support LDAP, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and many other databases. It supports all popular EAP authentication types, including PEAP and EAP-TTLS. More than 100 vendor dictionaries are included.
