Help on hostp acting as RADIUS Server

[Preethi Mohan]

Hi,

What you meant is correct.
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.

Can you please explain.

Thanks in advance

Regards
Preethi
