A RADIUS Module?

[pgoneill]

Our sysadmin suggested I look into the existence of a RADIUS plugin for CMSMS.

While the FrontEndUsers module works nicely, it's a bit of a pain to maintain two databases of users, so I wonder if anyone's ever considered a RADIUS module for authenticating users against a RADIUS server?

All (most) plugins / modules are developed on

But if I'm right there's no module like that.

I know.  I was wondering if anyone had considered building one?  Just throwing the idea out there, really.

Nice idea

A radius module doesn't exist (yet).

Adding radius authentication to the feusers stuff wouldn't be too bad, but for the backend (where it would be more valuable), could be a bit hairy.

There's currently seperate user databases for the backend, and for the frontend (feusers).  So there's already two separate login modules, and then if you're on a network and trying to access the backend (i.e.: for an intranet or something).  then you're up to 3 user databases.  Syncing or having one user/group model would be cool.
