I have a Windows 2003 R2 server that was running fine and doing its
job authenticating workstations and users for 2 months. Last week the
authentication process promptly stopped, the service was still
running. The IAS server stopped logging. Messages on the Cisco AP said
"cannot authenticate workstation". I installed a second IAS server and
the authentication process has resumed. What I would like to know is,
why the first IAS server stopped authenticating in the first place ??
Is there some kind of cache on a Radius server that has to be emptied
or is it the log file that gets to full and the server fails to
respond to the demands from the client ?? Was it because of a Windows
update ?? If anyone has an idea an answer would be appreciated. If
more info is needed on my setup just let me know ..
thanks
IAS stops processing authentication requests when there is not enough space
on the hard drive to write to the log file. That's probably what happened,
and it will happen again on the second IAS server if logging is not
configured properly and/or you run out of hard drive space.
