Cisco ACS Alternative?

I know this is blasphemy for most of the Cisco gurus, but I am looking for a cheaper alternative to Cisco ACS. The company I work for currently implements both TACACS and RADIUS authentication in certain ways but the maintenance costs of Cisco ACS are tremendous for our budget. So I am looking for an alternative, here are the stipulations:



  1. Must run on Windows Server 2003
  2. Must support both TACACS and RADIUS authentication.
  3. Must allow for authentication against our Active Directory.
  4. Must be cheaper than Cisco ACS.

Any suggestions?



Also, does Microsoft IAS support TACACS and RADIUS authentication?



Thanks, Robert

Microsoft IAS only support RADIUS

checkout ClearBox RADIUS and TACACS Server 2.4.5

I have not.

I believe they allow you to trial for 30 days, so you would be able to determine if it fills your requirements.

Have you used ClearBox? Is it easy to use and consistent?

Not sure about what costs you are talking about ? If you already purchased ACS then you are talking about some extra support costs. But then again, those costs would also be there for if you used other products.
