Does ISA support Radius Authentication?

[Uso]

Hi,
does ISA server support Radius authentication instead of NT authentication?
It doesn't look like it can do that, is there an add-on that gives this
functionality?
Do you know of any other easy to use and not very expensive Proxy server
that can use radius authentication?

thanks and regards
Uso

FP1 brings RSA SecurID to ISA if that's an option for you.
No; ISA doesn't "do" RADIUS.

But RRAS does. It works quite happily along side ISA, after all, ISA wizards
will set up remote access through RRAS for you.

I once used it together with running IAS on Win2K DCs, but Microsoft's IDC
documentation specifically states that they preferred not to use RADIUS on
VPN firewalls - I'm not sure if this suggests that its a bad idea or not.

Hi Paul,

They didn't have a preference. They said that there was no need for
centralized authentiation or accounting, so they didn't use it in their
scenario.

"The Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) was not used in the
architecture because centralized accounting and management for VPN
connections were not required to support remote access for the
administrators. Accounting requests (such as accounting start or stop) and
authentication requests, such as Access-Accept or Access-Reject, are logged
on to the RRAS server. The RRAS server has a feature to log status
periodically, such as interim accounting requests. This logging feature is
not enabled because it can result in high-volume logs. A custom location,
away from the default location, is specified for the log file, so that
security can be tightened on the directory."

HTH,
