Appendix A—WinRadius Server Installation
Note: A WinRadius (or comparable) server should be installed on server SRV1 for this lab. If it is not, you can
use the following procedure to download and install it. Check with your instructor if you have questions
regarding the RADIUS server installation.
Step 1: Download the WinRadius software.
A number of RADIUS servers are available, both freeware and for sale. This lab uses WinRadius, a freeware
standards-based RADIUS server that runs on Windows XP and most other Windows operating systems.
Note: The free version of the software can support only five usernames.
Step 2: Install the WinRadius software.
a. Create a folder named WinRadius on your desktop or other location in which to store the files.
b. Search the web for winradius and download the latest version from a trusted website.
c. Save the downloaded zip file in the folder created in Step 2a, and extract the zipped files to the same
folder. There is no installation setup. The extracted WinRadius.exe file is executable.
d. You can create a shortcut on your desktop for WinRadius.exe.
Step 3: Configure the WinRadius server database.
a. Start the WinRadius.exe application. WinRadius uses a local database in which it stores user
information. When the application is started for the first time, the following messages are displayed:
Please go to “Settings/Database and create the ODBC for your RADIUS
database.
Launch ODBC failed.
b. From the main menu, select Settings > Database.
c. Click the Configure ODBC automatically button and then click OK. You should see a message that
the ODBC was created successfully. Exit WinRadius and restart the application for the changes to
take effect.
