Radius server suggestions

Hi all,

I'm in the middle of redesigning a number of things here.  Our main db of
users will likely be changing format (vpopmal to postfix+dovecot).  There
will be additional columns in the database for dial access, usenet access
and possibly pppoe access.  Our current vpopmail setup stores these values
in one column as a bitmask, which hurts my head, so I'm moving to
something easier (ie: if "dialup" column = "1", they can have dialup).

I'm out of touch on what radius implementations are popular.  I need
something that meets two basic requirements:

-auth from mysql or pgsql
-set the sql query based on which radius client the request comes from

Any pointers on that?

Thanks,

Charles

We use Radiator too, because our management still shies away from "free"
software.

Not much to say about it besides it works.

+1

It's *hugely* flexible and scalable.

It's also the business if you want anything out of the ordinary, if you
are (or have) a perl programmer, since it's very easy to extend and
tweak. We added some plugins to stop our customers using static IPs that
weren't allocated to them, for example.

I've used Radiator for many years (>10? Not certain exactly.  I expect
not long after it was released) and it's been rock solid.  It is very
flexible, easy to configure and not hard to customize if you need to do
something unique.  Used it for dialup, DSL, web, wireless mesh (WPA
PEAP/LEAP) and basic web site authentication.  I also used FreeRadius
for a few months for a specific project and found I didn't care for it
as much.  Overall radiator was well worth the cost.

Thanks all...

I'm currently using gnu-radius.

I remember looking at FreeRadius and found that it was "too flexible".
I'll look at it again though, since it looks like that's the standard
these days.

I used Radiator long ago.  It was great - I remember coding a
pop-before-smtp hack for it, and I hardly knew perl at the time.  I'd use
it again if it were free.
