News from OSC Version 3.17 of Radiator released March 26, 2007 This version contains some significant new features,
and a number of fixes. Amongst the new features are support for authenticating
from Apple Directory Server and Apple Password Server on Mac OSX Server,
permitting Radiator to authenticate wireless and 802.1X users against
native OSX Server user administration tools. Support for a number of new
EAP protocols such as EAP-PSK and EAP-PAX were added. A number of other
minor features and bug fixes were also added. The BEST Radius server March 25. 2007 Radiator is by far the best RADIUS server around. It has a huge range of plug in modules, and it can be configured to do almost anything you can imagine. And the support is absolutely the best anywhere. We have used it on a number of projects, and it is completely reliable. Its easy to configure and works with any database on any platform you may want. We have used it to solve a number of difficult authentication needs that no other RADIUS server could come close to. Don't waste your time with any other commercial or free
RADIUS server. I cant recommend Radiator highly enough. Great work guys!" More customer comments... New support for Apple OSX Server authentication March 24, 2007 Apple Mac OSX fans will probably like to know that with the kind permission of Aim Systems Inc, Radiator now supports Apple Directory Server + Apple Password Server authentication on OSX Server. The New AuthBy LDAP_APS module allows you to find users by LDAP in Apple Directory Server and to authenticate their password using Apple Password Server. PAP, MSCHAPV2, TTLS-PAP, TTLS-MSCHAPV2 and PEAP-MSCHAPV2 are all supported. This means that Radiator can now be used to authenticate wireless and 802.1X users against standard OSX user administration tools, allowing you to migrate all your OSX security using a common password and infrastructure. Radiator can run directly on the Apple Directory Server + Apple Password Server host or on any remote host (including any Linux or Unix host). The Apple Directory Server could be on the same host as the Apple Password Server or a different one. The new support is included in the latest Radiator patch set and will be included in the forthcoming base release. More press releases... Very Good Support February 11, 2007 When I started working at a site that had lots of wireless AP's, I heard about Radiator for the first time. On that site they had tried for quite a while to get another Radius server going with little success. When somebody came up with 'let's use Radiator', everything went much faster all of a sudden. Since then, I've been working on a project called 'UserTracking' which works pretty closely together with Radiator. It works like a charm, but what's much more important is the outstanding support that Mike and Hugh give on their mailing list.I've hardly seen any question go by that remained unanswered, except in some cases where the poster was kindly asked if they had licensed Radiator. That's right, Radiator is not 'free', but it is [full]
source. You get full disclosure on the (Perl) sourcecode, which makes
it incredibly flexible. Great product. More customer comments... DIAMETER support now available with Radiator RADIUS server Radiator can now act as a DIAMETER to RADIUS gateway. This means that authentication networks can utilise the greater reliability and security provided by DIAMETER within an existing RADIUS infrastructure. The new ServerDIAMETER module allows Radiator to serve DIAMETER authentication requests by converting them to RADIUS requests which can be served internally by Radiator's huge range of authentication methods or proxied to another RADIUS server. Replies are converted to DIAMETER and sent back to the originating DIAMETER node. RADIUS is currently the industry standard for network Authentication, Authorisation and Accounting (AAA) and enormous investment has been made in computer network infrastructure and maintenance by governments, NGOs and commercial organisations throughout the world. But conventional RADIUS traffic can be insecure or easily breached. DIAMETER (RFC 3588, 4005, 4072) is the next generation replacement of the RADIUS protocol and is designed to address these security and reliability shortcomings. "With Radiator, our customers can now handle DIAMETER compatible devices without having to upgrade their entire authentication system", according to OSC's chief technologist, Mike McCauley. "This gives them the flexibility to take advantage of the greater security provided by DIAMETER and send sensitive authentication data over insecure networks with confidence". More Open System Consultants hosts RadiusExpert Wiki OSC, the developer of world-renown Radiator (R) RADIUS server, has established a free resource for the RADIUS user community to collect and share information about configuring and implementing RADIUS protocol devices and software. RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) is the authentication protocol widely used by ISPs and corporate networks. RadiusExpert:Community Portal at http://www.open.com.au/wiki/index.php/Main_Page will become the repository for all the information that often resides only in the heads of system administrators who manage and maintain the security access and authentication requirements of their networks. "We are providing a public collection point for the invaluable knowledge out there that represents the practical how-to of RADIUS implementation," said Mike McCauley, Chief Technologist from OSC. Anyone can find information about such topics as configuring various RADIUS devices, load balancing with RADIUS servers and wireless authentication tips in the RadiusExpert:Community Portal and contributions from the user community are encouraged. More Open System Consultants develops open source implementation of Trusted Network
Connect standards TNC is an open, non-proprietary architecture that enables the application and enforcement of security requirements for endpoints connecting to a network. The specifications are being developed by Trusted Computing Group (TCG) an industry group formed to develop, define and promote open standards for hardware-enabled trusted computing and security technologies. OSC's Chief Technologist Mike McCauley demonstrated LIBTNC during Interop at Las Vegas in May, 2006 using OSC's Radiator RADIUS server and Xsupplicant, an open source 802.1X client from the Open1x project. The LIBTNC project site is at http://sourceforge.net/projects/libtnc/ More Radiator RADIUS server core component at InteropNet Labs (iLabs) 2005 iLabs is the world's only real-time live interoperability test bed for the latest networking technologies. Radiator was the core component for all RADIUS requests sent through the iLabs network. Radiator then proxied the requests to the appropriate device across the network. This is the second year Radiator was nominated because of its reliability, flexibility and sound reputation in the telecommunications industry. As a vendor neutral product, it interoperates readily with all client hardware and software platforms, operating systems and databases. "iLabs tests the latest security related products against any devices and software that people show up with" said Mike McCauley, chief technologist from OSC, "Radiator has again proven itself up to the challenge".

Authentication Secure, Reliable RADIUS. RADIUS is the industry standard for AAA but conventional RADIUS traffic is insecure as usernames and attributes are all in plain text or weakly encrypted. If an insecure network such as the internet is used for transporting this data then eavesdroppers can readily gather sensitive information that could compromise an organisation's security. Furthermore, conventional RADIUS uses the unreliable User Datagram Protocol (UDP) which can lose or drop valuable accounting information. RadSec solves these problems by using industry standard TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption and a reliable stream protocol with mutual authentication of RADIUS servers. This means that IP carriers, global roaming partners and open campus projects can proxy RADIUS requests over insecure networks like the internet with confidence. The authentication data cannot be tampered with, cannot be sniffed and cannot be lost or misdirected. More For more information about RadSec, read the whitepaper. Radiator Radius server is "Vasco-Ready" Radiator Radius server now authenticates VASCO's Digipass tokens - small hand-held devices that display a one-time time-based password. Radiator uses this password to authenticate access to wired, wireless and dialup networks. Radiator runs on a wide range of hardware/software platforms and operating systems.

Wireless Authentication Wireless network operators are increasingly concerned about the security of their networks. MAC address authentication and static WEP keys are now seen as too weak for hostile wireless environments. The growing range of 802.1X wireless authentication protocols with dynamic WEP keys enables operators to provide much higher security levels than were previously possible.
