(RADIATOR) 2.18.3 & EAP

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Anne -

What you want to do is a simple AuthBy RADIUS proxy set up.

Have a look at section 6.27 in the Radiator 2.18.3 reference manual for a 
discussion of the AuthBy RADIUS clause. Any EAP or LEAP requset will be 
automatically handled when the request is proxied.

Here is part of a configuration file for what you want to do:

# define AuthBy RADIUS clause

<AuthBy RADIUS>
	Identifier ProxyToACS
	Host the.acs.box
	Secret ......
	.....
</AuthBy>

# define Realm(s) or Handler(s)

<Realm ....>
	AuthBy ProxyToACS
	.....
</Realm>

Note that EAP/LEAP support is being added to Radiator in stages, with 
EAP/LEAP proxy support being the first. Additional support will be introduced 
in future revisions.

Thanks for the note about the omission from the manual - it will be fixed in 
the next release.

regards

Hugh
