RADIUS Server Recommendation

[visitor68]

I need a RADIUS server solution with a GUI. It has to be real easy to set up.

I can go with the Cisco Secure Access Control System. I am pretty sure it has a GUI. I am certain that it can support dot1x and TACACS+, which is what I want.

But I also want to offer my client a software-based RADIUS GUI solution that they can load onto their own compute platform.

By the way, they are using non-Cisco switches. They are Brocade FastIron and BigIron switches (formerly Foundry).

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Hey Ex,

Yes, you are correct. Cisco ACS does have a GUI interface and it does support TACACS and RADIUS (802.1X). I work with ACS alot. They can be as easy or as complicted as you want them to be. You can download the configuration and deployment guides for a quick overview. I hope that helps..

George, thanks. I believe ACS comes as an appliance but also still as just the software....

Anyway, the question was really what other non-Cisco RADIUS solutions are there out there that have a GUI, whether applianes or software?

Thanks

yes, ACS comes both as an appliance or software which can be ran on server 2003. SBR Steel Belted Radius is a great radius server option.
