Radius: Securing Public Access to Private Resources

We had a specific job to do at work which required knowledge of radius servers and their setup. I purchased this book to supplement my knowledge and found it very useful ... Got the job done !!! There was enough information (and helpful hints as to where to get more) to configure the Cisco AV-pairs ...

I found this book a good reference to RADIUS. While some content is available in the RFCs, it's handy to have it compact and easy to read inside this book. The overview and guide to FreeRADIUS is good to have, especially considering the lack of available documentation from the project. I especially found the security chapter helpful, a candid discussion of where RADIUS fails.While there could be more coverage in this book, I think it's a great one to have available. Recommended.

A very thorough and detailed -without fluff O'reilly book. Since Freeradius has no documentation, this was godsent. It only lacks a little when it comes to configuring Freeradius with other databases (Mysql is the example setup), but otherwise very thorough.

RADIUS is an excellent book which covers everything you need to know. The book is full of practical information - including deployment strategies which make sense, sample configurations, and a walk-through on using a particular RADIUS server. It's a typical O'Reilly book - well written, compelling, and practical. Definitely recommended."

This book is a complete guide. The author explains the inner workings of RADIUS quite clearly. The practical suggestions on setting up freeradius, while basic, are very helpful; plus, it's the only book out there, and it's of typical O'Reilly quality. In closing, this book is very good, in-depth, and handy. I'd recommend it to anyone.
