      Zabbix is great, I’ve rolled an instance of that. Also did extensive work with FreeRADIUS - that’s one big conf file.

        The key to FreeRADIUS is to auto-generate the config, and use something like SQL or LDAP as an auth source.

          Yeah, unfortunately, the use case I was implementing it for was 802.1X with certificates… that was fun!

            Once upon a time I setup the same thing and it was a PITA, and we didn’t want to use it in production. We’ve just setup PacketFence which uses FreeRadius and it was an absolute breeze by comparison
