How to setup an AAA server?<br />
<br />
I have a project on the horizon that involves setting up Dual Factor Authentication on a Citrix NetScaler Server. &nbsp;I have a rough outline from: <a href="https://www.carlstalhood.com/nfactor-authentication-for-netscaler-gateway-12/" rel="ugc">https://www.carlstalhood.com/nfactor-authentication-for-netscaler-gateway-12/</a><br />
<br />
But questions today are regarding setting up an Authentication server from scratch. &nbsp;I have never setup or used an AAA server or RADIUS server before.<br />
<br />
Question1: &nbsp;Will I need to simply setup a Windows 2012 R2 or 2016 Server with the Remote Access Server role?<br />
<br />
Quesiton2: &nbsp;Will I need a certificate from a Certificate Authority?<br />
<br />
Question3: &nbsp;What is required for this AAA server to work with NetScaler? &nbsp;All NetScaler configuration is separate from this question.
