Description
Summary:Ritgerðin er gefin út við Háskólann í Gautaborg en er jafnframt lokaverkefni Jenny Schulze frá Háskólanum á Akureyri Today the need for dynamic reconfiguration of IP addresses increases. This is mostly due to the increased mobility among Internet connected devices. The purpose of the project was to develop a solution for dynamic DNS with updates initiated by the client. There are already various commercial solutions available today, but they have some limitations. The goal was to implement a system based on already available components with only minor adaptations. This report describes an implementation based on a RADIUS server (FreeRADIUS), which is accessed through a web interface (daloRADIUS). The authentication process is secured by a server certificate. Due to time constraints the implemented result should be considered as an early prototype. The conclusion of the project is that the concept works and that it is possible with some effort to solve the problem in a relatively simple way.
