FreeRADIUS is a modular, high performance free RADIUS suite developed and distributed under the GNU General Public License, version 2, and is free for download and use. The FreeRADIUS Suite includes a RADIUS server, a BSD-licensed RADIUS client library, a PAM library, an Apache module, and numerous additional RADIUS related utilities and development libraries.〔(FreeRADIUS wiki )〕 In most cases, the word "FreeRADIUS" refers to the free open source RADIUS server from this suite. FreeRADIUS is the most popular open source RADIUS server〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2006 User Server Survey )〕 and the most widely deployed RADIUS server in the world.〔 It supports all common authentication protocols, and the server comes with a PHP-based web user administration tool called (dialupadmin ). It is the basis for many commercial RADIUS products and services, such as embedded systems, RADIUS appliances that support Network Access Control, and WiMAX. It supplies the AAA needs of many Fortune-500 companies, telcos, and Tier 1 ISPs. It is also widely used in the academic community, including eduroam. The server is fast, feature-rich, modular, and scalable. == History == FreeRADIUS was started in August 1999 by Alan DeKok and Miquel van Smoorenburg. Miquel had previously written the Cistron RADIUS server, which had gained widespread usage once the Livingston server was no longer being maintained. FreeRADIUS was started to create a new RADIUS server, using a modular design that would encourage more active community involvement. As of November, 2014, the FreeRADIUS Project has four Core Team members: Alan DeKok (Project Leader), Arran Cudbard-Bell, Phil Mayers and Matthew Newton. The latest major release is FreeRADIUS 3. FreeRADIUS 3 includes support for RADIUS over TLS, including RadSec, a completely rewritten rlm_ldap module, and hundreds of other minor consistency and usability enhancements. The latest mature version is maintained for stability rather than features. The previous major release v2.2.x has entered the final phase of its lifecycle, and will now receive security fixes only A survey in 2006 showed that its user base totals 100 million people.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「FreeRADIUS」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
