Windows Server 2016 - NPS - RadSec Compatibility

Question

Hello,

We currently want our Radius server to communicate with a third-party Radius proxy through RadSec. Despite various searches, we cannot find any information on this subject. Is it possible to undertake this communication? If so, could you please tell us what to do?

Thanking you in advance.

Regards,

Hi,

Thanks for posting in Q&A platform.

If you want to forward connection requests to a remote NPS or other RADIUS server, create a Remote RADIUS Server Group and then configure a connection request policy that forwards requests to that Remote RADIUS Server Group. With this configuration, NPS can forward authentication requests to any RADIUS server, and users with accounts in untrusted domains can be authenticated.

Please understand, due to the environmental limitation, we have no such third party Radius proxy to test in our lab. It is hard for us to reproduce and analyze this issue from Q&A platform support level.

Hope my answer will help you!
