I have a server that I have technicians who need to be able to access using shared credentials. However, doing that violates our security policy (!). I need each user to be able to authenticate using their own credentials, but the server in question has to be logged in with a certain login (these two requirements are clearly diametrically opposed).

I thought that this would be a great application for a RADIUS server. I know how to setup RADIUS to go from Windows --> Cisco, but I have no idea how to use RADIUS to authenticate Windows --> Windows.

Can this be done? If so, how?
