[reSIProcate] Question about RADIUS support

[Dario Bozzali]

Hi Scott,
Thank you for your answer. I will have a look at Thread Pool in repro. At the moment I cannot say if it meets the needs for this implementation.
Regarding client library I thought to ace-radius (http://ace-radius.sourceforge.net), but honestly I think that it should be reviewed before using it in Resiprocate.
For example in version 0.9.2 it does not use anymore a thread pool (up to version 0.8.0 it used ACE framework), so it is necessary to re-introduce a thread pool concept anyway.
I think that it could be a good starting point if I decide to implement a small radius client library (just that part needed for digest authentication).
At this moment I am working on this idea in my free time, so I do not have much time to spare.
I hope to give good news to all subscribers as soon as possible (it would mean that I would have had time...).
Best regards,
Dario.

Hi Dario,

Daniel Pocock implemented the freeradius-client stuff, so I'm not sure about windows support for it.  Nor do I know of any Windows centric radius clients.  So not much help there - sorry.

However I'd like to point out that we would love to see the contribution into a resip branch.  I would also like to point out that repro has a Thread Pool concept you could re-purpose if there was any hope of having this solution be usable by platforms other than windows  (see:  Dispatcher, Worker and WorkerThread - these are candidates for a move into rutil).

Scott

Hi all,
I would be interested in using RADIUS with Resiprocate for digest authentication under Windows.
I know that exists an implementation for Repro that uses freeradius-client library and I tested it under Linux (CentOS 6.5) with freeradius server, but that library cannot be used under Windows (or am I wrong?).
Could someone give me any suggestions about a good radius client library that can be used under Windows?
I thought to use Windows Thread Pool API to handle threads for radius requests (current implementation creates one thread per request).
If I will be able to implement a Windows-based solution, would you be interested in integrating it into mainline?
Thank you in advance and kind regards,
Dario.
