    FreeRADIUS is completely scalable and supports both large and small user databases. Because it doesn't take up a lot of server resources, FreeRADIUS is well-suited for organizations with small budgets (it's in the name!) and limited networking hardware. While there is a port of it for Windows, FreeRADIUS is native to Linux so that would be a limitation for many companies who don't use it.

    The risk of interception or manipulation by hackers is reduced. It manages to be combined with other means of authentication, they allow the developer's software to be completed with the AMF software. The application tests the user's rights and links him to its services and data. The authentication of the interested party is one of the many keys to this process.

    Cons
    Open Source
    • FreeRADIUS requires a 3rd party interface to make it easier to access (we use Daloradius) - it would nice if it was built in.
    • Installation and configuration are pretty easy and straightforward but does require connecting to a database which can be cumbersome.

    • This mechanism certainly allows to protect a work site, but it can be expensive from an application point of view.
    • It is unavoidable to precisely verify the user at the launch of the workstation and/or at the connection to its application using the measures of the security policy and also to show that the authentication procedure is correctly applied.

    A user communications neighbor serves as an immediate access gate to all applications to which the appropriate permission has been provided. The end user will simply have to have a single effectively secure signal. we get the authentication required to be able to verify a user. This provides greater fixity, speed and also efficiency of the connection.

    Return on Investment
    Open Source
    • We previously used Microsoft Network Policy Server for our RADIUS authentication which works ok but was pretty clunky and requires Windows Server. Switching to FreeRADIUS brought our cost down to zero.
    • Because FreeRADIUS works natively in Linux it's easy to setup and works with all distros.
    • FreeRADIUS allows us to have user authentication for wifi which is much more secure than a simple shared password solution.

    • Consequently, with an OTP system, the user has an expert forecaster who provides him with a password upon request.
    • This password is valid for a limited duration, and for a single use.
