Authenticate Users in Heterogeneous RADIUS Environments with One User Directory

A more powerful and complex deployment of the Policy Server in a RADIUS environment is one that includes multiple realms administered by multiple NAS devices. In this scenario, the Policy Server can serve as the RADIUS authentication server for multiple RADIUS clients at once.

The advantage of using a heterogeneous configuration is that you save time by using the same RADIUS authentication server (that is, the Policy Server) for each RADIUS client.
