I was able to get freeradius 2.1.3 and wireless WPA working, likely due to the fact that FreeRadius was mostly configured for me (thanks ;) ). I’m a little confused about the certificate that is required in the process, and what the relationship is with the client, the Wireless Controller and the FreeRadius server. The README file states: “ In general, you should use self-signed certificates for 802.1x (EAP) authentication.” Why self signed versus CA signed? Ideally I would like my clients to not be questioned about the certificate at all. Is that even possible with WPA? If I purchase a CA signed cert, would that eliminate the requirement on the client to acknowledge the certificate or import it? -Mike
