After all your Internet Connection Services for RAS applications are installed, you’re ready to configure them. Depending on how you’re going to use Internet Connection Services for RAS, you might configure the applications differently. This section uses an example configuration to describe how to deploy Internet Connection Services for RAS on your corporate network.
The example configuration is a common scenario in which an ISP and a corporation have deployed Internet Connection Services for RAS to build secure remote access to a corporate private network using the Internet. In this configuration, the corporation is responsible for deploying Internet Authentication Services on their network.. The ISP network has a RADIUS proxy server installed. The authentication server on the corporate network is configured as a RADIUS client so authentication requests can be forwarded from the RADIUS proxy server on the ISP network. For a detailed illustration of this configuration, please see “Using Internet Connection Services for RAS with a Corporate Private Network.”
The following list describes steps a corporation must go through to deploy Internet Connection Services for RAS applications with an Internet service provider.
For detailed information about configuring Internet Connection Services for RAS components, see the complete Internet Connection Services for RAS documentation provided with the Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack documentation.
Note
The Commercial Edition of Internet Authentication Services includes proxy capability.
