On Windows 7 you can configure pre-login authentication (wireless
connection properties -> Advanced settings) both for computer and user. On
XP (with native windows client), I don't think that it is possible to do
that.

Hello all, 

I have been using FreeRadius for several years now and am
stuck trying to make our Windows based wireless system authenticate PRIOR
to user login. 

I have searched the FreeRadius and Deploying FreeRadius
sites as well as Google, but no luck. Here is a brief over-view of my
FreeRadius setup: 

1) Clients: Windows XP ">2) Currently running
FreeRadius version 2.0.5 

3) Currently authenticating users via TLS/PEAP
with computer name/username 

I'm not sure what else (if anything) you
might need. I am also looking at changing the FreeRadius setup to
authenticate against our Windows 2008r2 Active Directory servers. We have
one main location and two remote sites. Currently we have only one
FreeRadius server at the main site. If the VPN connection between the main
site and either / both of the remote sites goes down, the remote sites
can't authenticate. My thought was to have three FreeRadius servers that
would authenticate to the local copy of the AD. Having said all of this, I
do not want to get to many things going at one time. I much prefer to
tackle on issue at a time. 

Thanks in advance for any insight you may have
on either/both of these issues. 

Scott
