This RADIUS server solution uses NPS to perform centralized authentication, authorization, and accounting for wireless, authenticating switches, remote access dial-up or virtual private network (VPN) connections.
4.7
Overview
This RADIUS server solution uses NPS to perform centralized authentication, authorization, and accounting for wireless, authenticating switches, remote access dial-up or virtual private network (VPN) connections. When you use NPS as a RADIUS server, you configure network access servers, such as wireless access points or VPN servers, as RADIUS clients in NPS.
NPS uses an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain or the local Security Accounts Manager (SAM) user accounts database to authenticate user credentials for connection attempts.
Features: Supports WPA2-Enterprise (preferred) or WPA-Enterprise, and either AES (preferred) or TKIP encryption cipher, depending on which versions are supported by your wireless client computer network adapters. Active Directory or local security accounts manager for authentication Allow or deny connections to specific wireless networks that you specify by network type and Service Set Identifier (SSID) Allow or deny connections to infrastructure networks Allow or deny connections based on AD group membership Machine certificate authentication using trusted certs Built-in support for IEEE 802.1X Authenticated Wireless Access with PEAP-MS-CHAP v2 Accounting logging Unlimited number of RADIUS clients (APs) and remote RADIUS server groups Configure RADIUS clients (APs) by specifying an IP address range. Single sign-on solution RADIUS standard specified by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in RFCs 2865 and 2866
Highlights
- Authenticate wireless users and control access to your wireless APs based on user, IP, device, AD groups and more
- Unlimited number of RADIUS clients (APs) and remote RADIUS server groups
- Single sign-on solution. Allow users to logon to wireless APs automatically

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance type you choose to run this RADIUS server on Windows Server 2019. Pricing is not tiered by features. Every option delivers the same software; the hourly rate reflects the compute size you select. Options range from small burstable instances like t3a.nano and t2.micro to memory-, compute-, and storage-optimized families such as r5, c5, i3en, and large metal instances. Pick a smaller instance for light authentication loads and a larger one for heavier demand. Your cost scales with the instance size and hours the server runs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One unit is one running EC2 instance of the size you pick, billed per hour. It bundles the RADIUS NPS software and Windows Server 2019. Each running instance meters separately. You pay for the hours the instance runs, regardless of how many access points or RADIUS clients authenticate through it.
Software charges meter running time only. A stopped instance stops accruing the hourly software fee. You may still pay underlying AWS storage costs for the instance volume while it is stopped. Charges resume when you start the instance again.
No. Cost depends only on the instance size and hours it runs, not on client count. The software supports an unlimited number of RADIUS clients and remote server groups. To handle heavier authentication demand, choose a larger instance rather than expecting per-client charges.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Poorna's RADIUS Server - Wireless Authentication NPS on Windows 2019 Review
Reviewed on May 12, 2023
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
RADIUS server is a fantastic Client-Server Protocol. It enables secure authentication to the NPS domain servers. Device authentication over the WIN 2019 servers is safe and optimized.
What do you dislike about the product?
The implementation or set up of the configuration is a bit complex, and sometimes, if a trouble shoot has to be performed, it is tough. Debugging the errors and resolving them takes a lot of time and effort.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
RADIUS Server - Wireless Authentication NPS on Windows 2019 is a secure and easy-to-utilize tool. The authentication and accounting requests are made and completed quickly.

Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Radius allows for secure authentication of domain devices through NPS. It allowed me to provide secondary forms of device authentication using domain certificates and user authentication.
What do you dislike about the product?
Radius can be a complicated setup that is hard to troubleshoot where errors happen in the chain, adding this complexity into an already complex system can lead to a very complicated end setup that is hard to maintain for people than the designer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to provide certificate based secondary authentication to my devices when they are logging in remotely. It has increased our ability for providing managed connectivity securely to our fleet.
