Development Roadmap

The roadmap for the server is loosely defined. However, we are actively looking for sponsors for new features.

More complete HUP support

Scope of Work: Update the server core to re-load more configuration on HUP

Estimated effort: Variable, depending on the requirements. Priorities include re-reading clients, realms, home servers, etc.

3GPP2

Scope of Work: Update the protocol handlers to parse and generate 3GPP2 attributes.

Estimated effort: Approximately a thousand lines of code. The total cost is likely less than purchasing a commercial server that includes 3GPP2 support.

Native port to Windows

Scope of Work: Update the server to build under MingW. Add native Windows implementations of some features (threads, signals, run as service, etc.)

Estimated effort: Three to four (3-4) weeks of work. The end result will be a native Windows binary that can be run as a service on Windows.

Status: As should be clear from the "roadmap" title, this feature is on the roadmap, and is not available in a released version of the software. Please do not send email asking for the Windows version. It does not exist.

Active Directory integration

Scope of Work: Once the server runs natively on Windows, use internal Windows API's to obtain user passwords. This information is not available to programs running elsewhere on the network.

Estimated effort: Three to four (3-4) weeks of work. The end result will be a module that will look up a user and obtain their password from the internal Active Directory database. This functionality will be equivalent to the unix module on Posix systems, which uses the user name as a key to obtain the password from /etc/passwd

Completed Milestones

WiMAX

WiMAX is growing in popularity. The WiMAX specification for RADIUS has a few differences from the historical Vendor-Specific Attribute (VSA) format. The protocol parser currently in the server does not support this new format.

Version 2.1.1 now has nearly complete support for WiMAX functionality. We thank our sponsors for helping with this effort.

Change of Authorization (CoA)

Version 2.1.7 now has full support for CoA and Disconnect messages. We thank our sponsors for helping with this effort.
