Question

A network admin wants to use a Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) protocol to allow 5 user accounts to connect company laptops to an access point in the office. These are generic users and will not be updated often. Which of these internal sources would be appropriate to store these accounts in?

Answer 1

RADIUS protocol connect company accounts to connect with company laptops to an access point in the office. SQL database is an appropriate source to store accounts.

Most companies and Internet service providers use the SQL database to store information. We can optimize the database and interaction with the RADIUS server.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service is a networking protocol that operates on port 1812, which provides Authorization for the user who uses a network service.

RADIUS is a client/server protocol that uses either TCP or UDP as transport.

RADIUS protocol depends upon databases, but the servers implement policies to store information.

Databases are designed to store and retrieve data. They have a decision- making capabilities.

The role of the SQL database is to provide a RADIUS server. The RADIUS server then uses authorization methods.
