RADIUS SERVER SUGGESTIONS??

[MEI]

I would like to use RADIUS to authenticate against my AD 2003 domain for a
new VPN appliance I have connected to the WAN. Is there an internal
mechanism in Windows to allow devices to authenticate against itself with
Radius? OR is there a 3rd party product which is reasonably prices or maybe
even free??
Thanks...

I am not sure if the following answers you real
question -- what is is you directly intend to do?

Windows 2000 and 2003 both include a RADIUS
server: IAS (Internet Authentication Server).

Both Windows and third party hardware software
can use this IAS which can itself go to either a
Windows (AD) or other authentication service that
supports RADIUS.

Use the built in IAS Server. There is an option to allow/deny domain access
based on AD group membership.

MEI,

We have IAS setup on a w2k dc and use it to authenticate users connecting to
any of our routers, firewall and for our MIS staff connecting to our vpn for
weekend support. Below are a couple of linksto get you started:

This link focuses on the Cisco PIX firewall, but should give you some ideas
and a place to start.
