Coupled with an SSL requirment on the client browser, this scheme is flexible and secure. Above all, it is simple to configure. Please see the RadIIS-Basic2f pages for details and a free demo.

RadCAS, our COM based Radius client, is now shipped with a Dotnet assembly proxy which facilitates full compatibility with dotnet. RadCAS still retains its COM interface for full ASP compatibility. Please see the sample web page downloadable at the bottom of the RadCAS Technical page to see how easy it is to use RadCAS with Dotnet. 

TCP Scope is our new proxy based sniffer for TCP connections. Its a purely application based system which gives packet-by-packet dumps of designated TCP streams. As it us purely application level, no low-level drivers are required. This avoids the problems of unforeseen incompatibilities realized with most packet sniffers. 

Please proceed to the TCP Scope pages for find out more and to acquire a free demo. 

RadIIS 2.6 Release Available - RadIIS, our Radius authentication package for IIS, continues to gain acceptance. The system uses a simple combination of existing protocols/standards to provide a total web access security solution. Please proceed to the RadIIS pages for more information. New features with V2.6 include support for additional one-time-password schemes and the ability to authenticate via ODBC databases.

NEW: 3 new freeware Radius authentication servers are now available. These make RadIIS configuration and development much easier, as a full scale Radius server isn't required. Please see the Radius Test Server page for details and download links. Also, there is production 'authentication only' server. Use of RadIIS with this server makes expensive CAL licensing unnecessary in most cases. 

RadIIS Update: RadIIS-Basic2f is in pre-release. This version is aimed at the OWA/Sharepoint market.

We are currently shipping RadCAS 1.2, our new Radius COM Automation Server. RadCAS is a descendent of RadIIS, but is not an IIS/ISAPI component . It is a free-standing server based on ActiveX technology. RadCAS permits ASP/VBScript/VB/VC++ applications to do Radius Authentication. Version 1.1 included extensive facilities to access attributes returned by Radius authentication transactions. This greatly increases the options available when using RadCAS to implement Radius authentication solutions. New with Version 1.2 is a COM server that allows binary downloads from asp pages. Please proceed to the RadCAS pages for details and a demo. 

• Biesse Informatica to distribute Attenuate in Italy. Details are are being worked out to give Biesse sole distribution/reseller rights to market Attenuate to the Italian market. 
• The New Zealand Government's Department of Internal Affairs has obtained site licensing for Attenuate. 
• eProject, the web-based software development company in Seattle, Washington has selected Attenuate for use on its in-house servers. Using state-of-the-art equipment, Attenuate underwent its most rigorous test to date. We passed with flying colors! 
• Xtop selects Attenuate. The Swiss based web service provider, which is one of the largest web-hosting providers on the Southeast Asian market, has licensed Attenuate for use on their servers. 

Microsoft's definition of throttling for IIS is 'rejection of service' (Knowledge Base Article Q238145). From: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/Articles/q238/1/45.asp : 

The (IIS) bandwidth setting determines whether IIS accepts or rejects a request for a static HTML page, based on periodic samples of the rate at which bytes are sent on the server.

As an example, assume you use IIS's throttling to limit a site to 50 kbs. When the download rate for this site reaches this limit, new requests are dropped. With Attenuate, traffic is slowed and additional requests are serviced, all within the 50 kbs limit. Slow response is cause for complaint, but rejection of service gives your customers the idea you went out of business! 

Attenuate uses a well-established algorithm to SLOW specified requests so that bandwidth constraints are met. With Attenuate, no requests are rejected! You get real control of all traffic, not just static content. With Attenuate you get many/most of the bandwidth control options available only with traffic shaping hardware. Please proceed to the Attenuate pages for details . 15-day demos can be obtained free of charge. 

IIS is a major player in the internet server arena. It has grown up quickly to meet the need. This rapid growth, built on the 'anti-server' architecture of Windows, has resulted in a few deficiencies. 

ASP uploads (port 80) can, in many instances, bring an IIS server t o its knees. All downstream traffic is frozen. Bandwidth throttling (service rejection) for downloads, exists in the form of a poorly implemented algorithm offering very few options. The result is servers that can swamp all resources for smaller businesses. Also, a few high bandwidth users can steal most/all the capacity, leaving your other users lagging. 

Attenuate has be introduced to remedy these shortcomings. Inexpensive and easy to configure, it promises to be a standard add-on for IIS.
