As an intern in a telecom corp, I am about to dive into some AAA system implementation on Linux C/C++. I did some simple search but failed to find a thorough tutorial that would involve a number of sample codes. All in all, I have to be bound to start off myself so could anyone give me some suggestions on RADIUS programming on Linux?

Answer 1

RADIUS is a protocol so defined in a RFC, AAA is an auth used by Radius for accounting and is also defined in a RFC. The Wikipedia page on RADIUS provides you with links to this two RFCs (Radius, and Radius Accounting).

You have two ways to do it:

• You are lucky enough to find libraries or framework in C/C++ (that are Linux compatible) and use them to program your system.
• You are unlucky and read the RFC to implement the protocols in your system.
