802.1x ->Radius ->Ldap

[Kyle Plimack]

I'm trying to use ldap to authorize/authenticate my users into the wireless network using 802.1x.
I just created a fresh installation of freeradius 2.1.7.  We use Centos Directory Server (aka red had dir. Srv / fedora dir.srv), not openLdap.


I've read a lot of threads and looked at the protocol / encryption compatibility chart, but I've never seen someone say, "this is the solution".  An alternative I'm considering (I don't know if its possible), is having radius pass the authentication request to PAM.   Pam, on my radius server, is already connected to ldap, and should be able to provide the same authentication.  Is is possible, and if so how should I do it?


Attached is the output from radiusd -X, can you help me determine why authentication is failing, but authorization is passing?  Can I automatically authenticate once authorized?  Why are they two different processes?
