Introduction

Welcome to EasyRadius, the easy-to-use radius solution for EAP-TLS client certificate authentication.

What is EasyRadius

EasyRadius is Azure-based SaaS radius service that is specifically built to work together with EasyScep Certificate Authority, but it can also work with other authorities as long as their CRL/OCSP endpoints are public available.

In this documentation we give a brief introduction to on-boarding in the Azure Marketplace, configuration in Microsoft Intune and practical use examples for client certificate based authentication.

On-boarding EasyRadius

EasyRadius is a SaaS solution delivered thru the Microsoft Marketplace and provisioning is integrated into the Azure Portal.

When you are in the Azure Portal, you will get the following screen where you need to select which subscription and resource group you want to use for provisioning, this is primarily relevant for billing scope.

You will also need to name your EasyRadius instance - we suggest a name like EasyRadius-Production to make it clear what it's for.

Important: Ensure that the selected plan and renewal setting is correct before continuing
