FreeRadius 3.0.x Installation and configuration with Mysql
This document describes how to setup a FreeRADIUS server. A MySQL server is used as backend and for the user accounting. RADIUS is an industry-standard protocol for providing authentication, authorization, and accounting services. Authentication is the process of verifying a user’s identity and associating additional information (attributes) to the user’s login session. Authorization is the process of determining whether the user is allowed on the network and controlling network access values based on a defined security policy.
