Use the Policy Server as a Radius Server

Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) is a protocol that enables you to exchange session authentication and configuration information between a Network Access Server (NAS) device and a RADIUS authentication server. You can use the Policy Server as the RADIUS authentication server.

The RADIUS protocol is often used by NAS devices that serve as:

• Proxy services for Internet Service Providers (ISP)
• Firewalls
• Corporate dial-up security services
