<div>Hi,</div>
<div><br>What you meant is correct.</div>
<div>I meant to run only one instance of authenticator source code with external RADIUS Server feature enabled.In that case whether the authenticator will be authenticated by the internal server.Or in this case an external server is needed for the inbuilt authenticator ?And this internal server can be used only by other authenticators not the inbuit authenticator.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Can you please explain.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks in advance</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Regards</div>

<br><br>Maybe I'm missing something here, but this does not seem to make much<br>sense.. So you would like to use an external RADIUS server for the<br>802.1X authenticator(?), and are asking whether the integrated RADIUS
