<div>Thanks Jouni for the information.But I need some more info.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My scenario is like this.I have a single instance of hostap that acts both as authenticator & radius server.I want the authenticator to use an external radius server not the internal eap server.Is it possible for this authenticator to use its inbuilt RADIUS server for authentication.
<br> </div>
<div>Can you please help me out.</div>

<div>Thanks & Regards</div>

<br><br>Yes, you can configure one instance to act as both the authenticator for<br>the local wireless radio and as a RADIUS server for other devices. Both<br>cases share the same configuration for EAP (including the eap_server=1
<br>to enable EAP server functionality). If you then add radius_server_*<br>options, the RADIUS server functionality will be enabled. You can leave<br>out the auth_server_* parameters since RADIUS is not actually used for
<br>the internal authentication case at all.<br><br>--<br>Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA<br>_______________________________________________<br>HostAP mailing list<br><a href="mailto:HostAP@shmoo.com">
