    IAS is Microsoft's implementation of a RADIUS server, and is compatible
with RADIUS systems from other manufacturers. It is designed to allow you to
authenticate against Active Directory if your remote access devices are not
Microsoft systems. They can authenticate against your AD database using
RADIUS. (Microsoft remote access devices can authenticate directly using
Windows authentication to AD).

    Because it is industry compliant, I believe it can also work to other
way (ie it can be a "client" to another RADIUS server).

    As far as I know, there is no requirement for CALs for remote access
authentication.
