Internet Authentication Service

The Internet Authentication Service (IAS) in Microsoft® Windows® 2000 is the Microsoft implementation of a Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) server. IAS performs centralized authentication, authorization, auditing, and accounting (AAAA) of connections for dial-up and virtual private network (VPN) remote access and demand-dial connections, and it can be used in conjunction with the Windows 2000 Routing and Remote Access service. IAS enables the use of a single or multiple vendor network of remote access or VPN equipment.
