I attached a readme file is supposed to be used as first look to the product. Please, get the ZIP-ed kit from http://www.radiusvms.com/RADIUSVMS233B.ZIP There is not any "suprprises" or "trojians", please, trust me. Thanks.

RADIUS is the Remote Access Dial-In User Service, an authorization, Authentication, and Accounting client-server protocol. RADIUS is the de facto industry standard for remote access AAA (Authentication, Authorization, Accounting) , as well as an IETF standard. In general, it's a network daemon (network process) which performs authentication, authorization and accounting actions when someone login on a Network Access Server with a dial-up client or logout from it. Typically RADIUS server is used by Internet Service Providers (ISP) to performs AAA tasks. But frequently, it's useful in a case when your need to provide any kind of controlled dial-up access in your orginization. Technical specification of the basic features which are supported by all radius servers you can find in RFC 2865/RFC 2138. Accounting information is specified in RFC2866/RFC 2139. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- What is RADIUS-VMS project ? RADIUS-VMS started as port of the Livingston's RADIUS 2.01 server to OpenVMS which contains a lot of VMS specific features. This project has been sponsored by DLS Internet Service Inc. and has been performed by Ruslan R. Laishev. RADIUS-VMS - it's RADIUS server for OpenVMS multithread by DEC Threads , which was fully rewritten from original sources and stay under active development for implementation of new features. It intend to be flexible and robutness solution as part of non-stop infrastructure for support a business of Internet Service Providers (Dial-UP security, roaming concept), Mobile/Cellular Phone company (Next generation phone network , IP Telephony service) and so on, serving a huge number of the requests. Using of the power of the OpenVMS cluster (ranked by IDC and Gartner Groups as "King of clustesr") get an ability to implement the mission-critical platform provided an automatic failover and a load balancing as well as real high security and performance. You can find more details about of current version in a documentation. There is BASIC - free of charge version, and ENHANCED - commercial, full-function version of the RADIUS-VMS (for VAX/VMS this version is free of charge). Follows are main features of the RADIUS-VMS (emphatic text is related to ENHANCED version): * Run under OpenVMS VAX/Alpha 6.1 or later * Run under: PSC TCPWare-TCP & Multinet (tested with latest version of the products), DEC TCPIP Service (formerly known as UCX) * SYSUAF based authentication and authorization * Long passwords (up to 96 bytes) and passwords change support (SYSUAF only) * AUDIT + OPCOM messaging * Security based on VMS facilities (AUDIT, Intrusion detection) * Accounting of users/NAS/port activities in VMS ACCOUNTING format as well as in the traditional RADIUS's .DETAIL format * Run in VMS Cluster environment supporting cluster IP alias * High performance with large USERS file * File I/O using VMS RMS * Network I/O using VMS $QIO * Multithreaded by DEC Threads (up to 128 concurrent threads), using kernel threads under VMS/Alpha >7.x * Using of right id(s) for additional authorization * A simple migration from UNIX & M$ Windoze RADIUS(s) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trademarks VMS, OpenVMS, VAX, Alpha, DEC, DEC Server, Digital are trademarks of Digital Equipment Corporation.
