Description:
The iManager plugin for Radius attributes of eDirectory users does not currently allow for the easy mass-manipulation of multiple users. Radius Profile functionality partially fleshes out this functionality, but comes woefully short of easy changes to groups of users, and making simple mass changes. Without this functionality, it is very difficult to implement radius authentication for all users in a dynamic way.
Novell's support document for Freeradius integration is here:
http://www.novell.com/documentation/edir_radius/pdfdoc/radiusadmin/radiusadmin.pdf
Proposed Solution:
Allow radius attributes to be managed by group or ou. I have implemented a very basic variant of this support in two Cool Solutions tools. I would like Novell to implement similar functionality in a more professional manner than I have, and integrate it into iManager.

Value Proposition:
eDirectory administrators could easily manage radius attributes for all users in their organization, and make granular changes very quickly.

I am starting to use Radius and would like to see a robust set of features so that it makes my job easier.
Thank you
I also like to see a 'native' 802.1X support ...
