Using Radius for authentication...

[Nigel Kersten <nigel@cofa.unsw.edu.au>]

Apologies if I have misunderstood the messages in the archives I've come
across, but most people seem to want to do things in the opposite direction
to what I want....

Basically I am on a sub-campus of a university that uses a modified Radius
system for the universal login/passwords for students and staff.

At this stage I have an LDAP directory with accounts in it that are being
used for authentication in various labs, but my ideal scenario would be one
where I can do the authentication against the Radius accounts passwords.

Is this something built into OpenLDAP ? Or will I have to work on patching
my existing command line client for the radius system into OpenLDAP?



Many thanks for any light anyone can shed on this matter.

Cheers,

Nigel
