Thanks a lot for those informations. In fact, I need a stable radiusd BUT I have to extend the authentification to access a private (protocol) database.
Then, I need to extend a web proxy/contexte manager to access this radius server so I
need to easily developpe a radius client.
I seems that OpenRadius is what I !:-)
Is there any debian package for OpenRADIUS ?
Is the client can make specifics requests : accounting/start/stop ?

|
| * Cistron RADIUS: mature, stable, works well, not modular, has
| a client (no library through).
|
| * FreeRADIUS: supports a huge number of modules, is the new standard,
| widely used, comes with client (no library AFAIK).
|
| * OpenRADIUS: offers more flexibility than FreeRADIUS in the
| dictionary and policies, has a language-independent FastCGI-like
| module interface. Has no client library either, but a client that you
| can use from your own programs by running it on a pair of pipes;
| supports large numbers of concurrent requests, redundant target
| servers, and on the fly PAP and CHAP password encoding.
|
| "Best" depends on what you want to use it for. If you want stability,
| simplicity and excellent Livingston-compatibility, go with Cistron
| RADIUS.
|
| If you need a SQL backend, a session database, lots of features, go for
| FreeRADIUS.
|
| If you need more flexibility and stability than FreeRADIUS and can live
| with the limited choice of modules (ASCII files, LDAP or Unix password
| db), go for OpenRADIUS.
