(RADIATOR) Alpha TTLS authentication support for wireless available fo testing

[Mike McCauley]

Hello all,

We are pleased to announce that an Alpha version of EAP-TTLS support is now 
available for Radiator.

TTLS is Tunnelled TLS, as per draft-ietf-pppext-eap-ttls-01.txt., It is 
supported by Funk Odyssey wireless clients through a variety of wireless 
access points. It provides one-way TLS authentication (the client 
authenticates the radius server), and authentication requests are delivered 
securely to the radius server via the encrypted TLS tunnel.
Unlike TLS, TTLS not _require_ a certificate on each client.

The current code supports TTLS-PAP, TTL_CHAP and TTLS-MSCHAP. TTLS can be 
authenticated locally or the inner authentication proxied to a remote radius 
server (which need not be TTLS enabled).

It should be noted that TTLS is very new protocol that is not widely 
supported. The protocol definition could change at any time.
Further this Radiator support is alpha code and should probably only be used 
for testing and validation.

A patch bundle is available for Radiator licensees. See

Feedback to me please.

Cheers.
