Hi Juan, Yes it is very possible, just about every RADIUS server I know of has logging and I would expect almost every RADIUS server in existence to be capable of logging failed authentication attempts. On the Linux/Unix side failed logon attempts will be written to logfiles on disk, simply write a small script to email these to yourself. Microsoft IAS (Internet Authentication Service) is a pretty powerful RADIUS server and can write failed auth attempts to the security event log, which in turn can be saved and rotated at an interval of your choosing, which you may find is a far more effective way of monitoring and archiving successful / unsuccessful authentications. Kind Regards, Mitch Pope
Hi Guys, I need to know if a Radius server can send mails to mailboxs in the orgenization to the admin for example each time the radius server couldnt authenticate a user. Is it possible? Thanks very much ! Juan
