(RADIATOR) SOAP XML authentication

[Alexis de Goriainoff]

Hello,

I am looking for a piece of advice.

We currently use a freeradius, that has been modified by our developpers 
in order to do SOAP authentication.

The SOAP server runs on a Windows 2003 server and uses a MSSQL database.

We use SOAP because it makes the radius completely independent from the 
structure of the database.

The IT people can modify the tables or the structure without advising 
the network people as far as the result sent by the soap server remains 
the sames.

It also allows to execute several SQL queries, and call other external 
programs, and webservices for each radius request.

We would like to use radiator instead of freeradius, because it does not 
require much internal propriatary development.

I have read the documentation of the AuthBy SOAP method but it seems to 
be mainly designed to tunnel proxy authentication between two radiators.

Is it possible or suitable to use radiator to query an external SOAP 
server  ?

We do not want to do any development on the SOAP server side. Is it 
possible to have radiator understand our own XML templates ?

Thanks for your advice
