RJ writes: I currently have a single iChain 2.0 proxy configured for RadiusAuthentication. iChain is out in front providing authentication andacceleration to my Novell Portal Services. However, afer I provide myRadius authentication, I am forced to provide my LDAP authentication to getinto Portal. Can iChain 2.0 handle both Radius and LDAP at the same time?does 2.1 or 2.2 address this issue?



A:
iChain 2.1 should address your issue. A optional LDAP password field has been added to the radius login page. If the LDAP password is supplied it is verified and then that is used to fill the auth header.
