[2] When a server running NPS is a member of an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain, NPS uses the directory service as its user account database and is part of a single sign-on solution. The same set of credentials is used for network access control (authenticating and authorizing access to a network) and to log on to an AD DS ...
RadSec is a protocol for transporting RADIUS datagrams over TCP and TLS. The RADIUS protocol is a widely deployed authentication and authorization protocol. The supplementary RADIUS Accounting specification [1] also provides accounting mechanisms, thus delivering a full AAA protocol solution. However, RADIUS has two substantial shortcomings.
In Windows Server 2008, Network Policy Server (NPS) replaces the Internet Authentication Service (IAS). NPS performs all of the functions of IAS in Windows Server 2003 for VPN and 802.1X-based wireless and wired connections and performs health evaluation and the granting of either unlimited or limited access for Network Access Protection clients.
Authentication requests and accounting information are forwarded by the V-AAA to the H-AAA, either directly or through a B-AAA. Current AAA servers communicate using the RADIUS protocol. As such, TIA specifications refer to AAA servers as RADIUS servers. While at one point it was expected that Diameter was to replace RADIUS, that has not happened.
RADIUS Accounting Flow. Accounting is described in RFC 2866. When network access is granted to the user by the NAS, an Accounting Start (a RADIUS Accounting Request packet containing an Acct-Status-Type attribute with the value "start") is sent by the NAS to the RADIUS server to signal the start of the user's network access. "Start" records ...
In contrast, RADIUS offers minimal functionality for administrator authentication and command authorization, while offering strong support (and is widely used) for end-user authentication, authorization, and accounting. As such, the two protocols have little overlap in functionality or in common usage.
The iPhone and iPod Touch support 802.1X since the release of iOS 2.0. Android has support for 802.1X since the release of 1.6 Donut. ChromeOS has supported 802.1X since mid-2011. [12] macOS has offered native support since 10.3. [13] Avenda Systems provides a supplicant for Windows, Linux and macOS. They also have a plugin for the Microsoft ...
