This program is an implementation of the client side of RADIUS -- Remote Authentication Dial In User Service. It is a useful tool for testing installations of your RADIUS server. You can simulate authentication and accounting requests and send them to the RADIUS server making RadiusTest as a NAS client.
Radius Test is a GUI based extensible RADIUS testing tool (for Windows), It can be used to test changes you made in the configuration of the radius server, or it can be used to monitor if a radius server is up.
Through Radius Test you can simulate authentication and accounting request and send them to the RADIUS server making Radius Test act as a NAS client, then shows the reply.
Radius Test works on MS Windows 7/Vista/XP/2000/NT4.x and 2008/2003 Server.
Radius Test is shareware program and you may evaluate this program for 15 days.
Why use Radius Test
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) is an Internet standard defined in RFC 2865. Internet service providers use RADIUS to authenticate dial-in users. RADIUS was subsequently extended to support accounting as defined in RFC 2866.
RADIUS allows vendors to add attributes relevant to them as part of aforementioned messages. This enables vendors to essentially extend the RADIUS implementation while allowing them to carry business critical information in these messages - this is done via vendor-specific-attributes (VSAs). VSAs, while offering flexibility, preclude interoperability with standard RADIUS servers. Also, there seems to be a general lack of elegant tools to add VSAs.
To solve the interoperability due to VSAs, We implement a GUI based extensible RADIUS testing tool. the GUI tool will offer users the capability to add standard RADIUS attributes such as IP address,port etc, and most importantly, the capability to add VSAs of their choices. After simple parsing, these attributes including VSAs will be encrypted using MD5,then sent to server throught UDP port.
