Radius for OpenVMS (Radius-VMS)

Radius-VMS started as port of the Livingston's RADIUS 2.01 server to OpenVMS to implement a support of VMS specific features. This project has been sponsored by DLS Internet Service Inc. and has been performed by Ruslan R. Laishev.

RADIUS-VMS - it's the RADIUS server for OpenVMS is multithread by DEC Threads , which was fully rewritten from the original sources and are stayed under active development for implementation of new features. It intend to be flexible and robust solution as part of nonstop infrastructure for support a business of:

Internet Service Providers (Dial-up security, implementing of internet roaming concept)
Mobile Phone company (Next generation phone network, IP Telephony service, a key component of 3G infrastructure, VoIP)
and so on, serving a huge number of the requests.

Using of the power of the OpenVMS clusters (ranked by IDC and Gartner Groups as "King of clusters") give an ability to implement the mission-critical platform provided an automatic failover and a load balancing as well as high security and performance.

Here are main features of the complete commercial RADIUS-VMS implementation:

Run on OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS VAX V6.1 or newer, suggested V7.1 or above
Run with Process Software TCPware & Multinet (tested with latest version of the products), HP TCPIP Services for OpenVMS (formerly known as UCX)
SYSUAF based authentication and authorization
Long passwords (up to 96 bytes) and passwords change support (SYSUAF only)
AUDIT + OPCOM messaging
Security based on VMS facilities (AUDIT, Intrusion detection)
Accounting of users/NAS/port activities in VMS ACCOUNTING format as well as in the traditional RADIUS .DETAIL format
Run in VMS Cluster environment supporting cluster IP alias
High performance with large USERS file
Multithreaded by DEC Threads (up to 128 concurrent threads), using kernel threads under VMS/Alpha >7.x
Authentication on Windows NT or LAN Manager servers (with failover)
Session limit checking & authorization
Connection speed authorization by special right identifiers
