RADIUS
Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) is a networking protocol that provides centralized
Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA or Triple A) management for users who connect and use
a network service. RADIUS is a client/server protocol that runs in the application layer and can use either TCP
or UDP as transport. Network access servers, the gateways that control access to a network, usually contain
a RADIUS client component that communicates with the RADIUS server. RADIUS is often the back-end of
choice for 802.1X authentication as well. The RADIUS server is usually a background process running on a
UNIX or Microsoft Windows server.
