Environment

Novell BorderManager
Novell eDirectory 8.8 for NetWare 6.5
RADIUS

Situation

Working RADIUS server fails after upgrading server to eDirectory 8.8
Error 1673
RADIUS.NLM will not load
Authentication errors
Schema errors

Resolution

RADIUS.NLM is end-of-life and no longer supported.  It will not work on servers running eDirectory 8.8.

The alternatives are
  • Use FreeRADIUS on a Linux (SLES, OES2, etc) platform
  • Run RADIUS.NLM on a NetWare server with eDirectory 8.7.3 (this is unsupported but should work)
