FreeRADIUS with Some NAS Gear
For a variety of reasons, vendors have been known to not adhere to RFC specifications. Often their products are based on an early draft of a proposed specification, sometimes vendors fail to update their products to the revised guidelines, and sometimes vendors simply choose to ignore the specification entirely. In any case, as an administrator you must cope. Unfortunately, the concept of vendor-specific irregularities and peculiarities is not foreign to NAS gear.
This section is designed to at least familiarize you with the vagaries of using some models of terminal server equipment with FreeRADIUS. Wherever possible, I will offer a workaround, another option, or some other recommendation to assist you in compensating for the problem.
