(RADIATOR) New Radius-enabled port redirectors

[Mike McCauley]

Hello all,

We have nearly finished the beta testing phase of our new Radius-enabled HTTP 
and NNTP port redirectors. Here is some brief information. If you are 
interested in early-release licensing or evaluating either product, please 
reply direct to me.


nntp-redirect

Lets you add Radius authentication and accounting to _any_ NNTP server.
nntp-redirect accepts NNTP connections and authenticates them with Radius. You 
can use Radius reply attributes to enforce idle timeouts and maximum 
connection times (max volumes coming soon). You can also use reply attritbues 
to redirect different users to different servers and/or ports. At the end of 
the NNTP connection, Radius accounting data is sent, with total time and data 
volumes. 
Full source, any platform.

http-redirect

Lets you add Radius authentication and accounting to _any_ HTTP server.
http-redirect accepts HTTP connections and authenticates them with Radius 
(basic and digest authentication is supported). You can use Radius reply 
attributes to enforce idle timeouts and maximum connection times (max volumes 
coming soon). You can also use reply attritbues to redirect different users 
to different servers and/or ports. At the end of the NNTP connection, Radius 
accounting data is sent, with total time and data volumes.
Full source, any platform.
Although apache lets you add Radius authentication easily, accounting is not 
supported. http-redirect provides accounting data, enabling you to charge for 
data volumes and/or time. 
http-redirect is aimed at pay-for-use training and streaming data, sound and 
video connections via HTTP.
