Log InWe believe that standards compliance is critical for customer satisfaction and vendor interoperability. Systems that follow standards have known, documented behavior, so there are few surprises.
Our products follow all relevant standards. At the same time, we recognize that standards are not always adequate to meet customer needs and that vendors do not always follow the standards. We have extended FreeRADIUS past the existing standards so that it meets or exceeds real-world customer requirements.
Many customers use FreeRADIUS as the “glue” to work around incompatibilities in vendor equipment or in other new and innovative ways.
Network RADIUS contributes heavily to the standards processes of multiple groups, most notably the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).
We have learned from our vast FreeRADIUS experience and we use that knowledge to drive new standards, which have subsequently been implemented by other RADIUS vendors.
FreeRADIUS is compliant with the following standards:

Alan DeKok, as CEO of Network RADIUS and founder and leader of the FreeRADIUS project, has authored or co-authored the following RFCs: 5080, 5997, 6158, 6613, 6929, 7360, 7499, 7542.
FreeRADIUS is the most standards-compliant RADIUS server in existence. In addition, many new standards have been defined by us and have been implemented first in FreeRADIUS. Network RADIUS (and FreeRADIUS) are the leaders in RADIUS products.
