Lock Down Your Windows Server Security Needs With TekRADIUS

If you run a Windows Server, you might be able to use IAS or NPS. To boot to other commercial products, there are free servers. The most popular is FreeRADIUS, an open source project. However if you aren't comfortable with Linux or Unix-like operating systems, you might consider something else, just as TekRADIUS.

RADIUS server that runs on Windows

TekRADIUS is a RADIUS server that runs on Windows. The freeware and paid versions are available for both commercial and personal use. There are two editions: The plain TekRADIUS supports the Microsoft SQL Server for the backend and TekRADIUS LT supports SQLite. Both servers run as a Windows Service and come with management GUI, illustrated in Figure 1.

A license for the paid version, called TekRADIUS Enterprise, is priced at $149. It supports EAP-TLS, dynamic self-signed server certificate creation for PEAP sessions, and NTLM authentication for the MS-CHAP authentication methods. A VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) module, called TekRADIUS SP, is as well available for $449.
