Many organizations have re-opened their offices, with employees working in a hybrid mode that has increased the complexity of the corporate network setup. IT admins have generally relied on RADIUS servers to enable secure user access to both WiFi or VPN, to help both remote and on-prem working models. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Traditionally, RADIUS servers needed to be installed and managed on-prem to provide centralized authentication and authorization for users that use RADIUS services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
JumpCloud\u2019s Cloud RADIUS<\/a>, powered by the JumpCloud Directory Platform<\/a>, has replaced the traditional on-prem server model with an on-demand cloud RADIUS solution that provides IT admins with the power of RADIUS<\/a> without the burden on on-prem servers and management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, many organizations rely on Azure Active Directory as an access management component of their identity and access management program. While Azure AD assists organizations as they transition to a cloud-centered paradigm, it doesn\u2019t include cloud-ready RADIUS access capabilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This creates a difficult situation for many IT admins, especially those in small to mid-sized enterprises (SMEs), who want to maximize access for their users while minimizing the number of vendors and siloed solutions necessary to make that happen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To help SME IT admins reduce complexity and overhead, JumpCloud recently released support for RADIUS authentication<\/a> with Azure AD credentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
