  • Limiting number of simultaneous sessions for the users.
  • TekRADIUS can proxy RADIUS requests to other RADIUS servers based on username suffix / prefix and NAS IP address ranges.
  • Authentication only or Authorization only mode.
  • IPv6 attribute support (RFC 3162, RFC 4818 and RFC 6911).
  • Generates MS-MPPE Keys for VPN connections.
  • Supports OTP (One Time Password) authentication based on RFC 2289 and Google / Microsoft Authenticator.

Accounting

  • You can execute and action to send a notification to user, when user’s credit consumption reaches to a certain level. This can be an SMS or e-mail message. You can invoke an external executable to send such a notification message. Please see External-Executable attribute for the syntax (SP Edition only).

  • TekRADIUS can send Packet of Disconnect Packet of Disconnect (PoD), Change of Authorization (CoA) or execute user defined session kill command when a user consumes all credit. You can change connection speed without disconnecting user session by sending a CoA request. This allows you to apply "Fair Usage Policy (FUP)" to user sessions (SP Edition only).

Monitoring & Diagnostics

  • Audit log under Windows Event Log / Application and Services Log / TekRADIUS Audit.
  • Logs system messages, errors and session information to a daily rotated log file and Windows Event log.
  • TekRADIUS can send e-mail notifications to system administators for certain system events and resource utilization.

Database & Management

  • RADIUS Dictionary can be edited through TekRADIUS Manager.
  • Creation of SQL database and tables through TekRADIUS Manager.
  • Mapping RADIUS Accounting attributes to Accounting table fields.
  • Custom Authentication & Authorization query definitions.
  • TekRADIUS provides user level restriction to GUI access. Windows users in "Administrators" group can access to all functions on TekRADIUS Manager GUI but Windows users in built-in "Users" group can access restricted set of functions on TekRADIUS Manager GUI.
  • Built-in DHCP server. You can use TekRADIUS' built-in DHCP server to assign IP addresses to your wired or wireless devices on your network. Commercial editions of TekRADIUS provide a unique feature; assignment of static IP addresses to wired/wireless clients authenticated using EAP authentication.
  • Command line utility for adding, deleting and editing users and RADIUS clients.
  • HTTP user management and reporting interface.
