Setting up IAS in a test lab

This section describes how you can use five computers to create a test lab to configure and test the Internet Authentication Service (IAS) features in Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition. These instructions are designed to walk you through a set of tasks that expose you to IAS and its associated functionality. Beyond the set of tasks, you can use these instructions to create a functioning IAS configuration and experiment with IAS features and functionality before deploying these technologies on your production network.

This section covers:

Notes

  • The following instructions are for configuring a test lab using a minimum number of computers. Individual computers are needed to separate the services provided on the network and to clearly show the desired functionality. This configuration is neither designed to reflect best practices nor is it designed to reflect a desired or recommended configuration for a production network. The configuration, including IP addresses and all other configuration parameters, is designed only to work on a separate test lab network.

  • You can configure IAS in Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition, with a maximum of 50 RADIUS clients and a maximum of 2 remote RADIUS server groups. You can define a RADIUS client using a fully qualified domain name or an IP address, but you cannot define groups of RADIUS clients by specifying an IP address range. If the fully qualified domain name of a RADIUS client resolves to multiple IP addresses, the IAS server uses the first IP address returned in the DNS query. With IAS in Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition, and Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition, you can configure an unlimited number of RADIUS clients and remote RADIUS server groups. In addition, you can configure RADIUS clients by specifying an IP address range.
