All, I know this is an old(ish) issue, but one I have been playing with a lot lately. I have a Vista Ultimate box that works perfectly, but an XP SP3 box that stopped working after SP3 was applied. What I am seeing is the inital challenge come in from the XP box, the freeRadius box responding, an additional response from the XP system, and the final challenge from the Radius box goes out and never gets an answer. This repeats indefinitely until the WLAN is shut off on the XP box. It seems to be failing only on this last challenge response section, the XP box just never responds back. I am stumped as to what changed, and what else I can hammer on, without mindlessly breaking a working Radius server. My EAP.conf section is : # # Whatever you do, do NOT set 'Auth-Type := EAP'. The server # is smart enough to figure this out on its own. The most # common side effect of setting 'Auth-Type := EAP' is that the # users then cannot use ANY other authentication method. # # $Id: eap.conf,v 1.4 2004/04/15 18:34:41 aland Exp $ # eap { # Invoke the default supported EAP type when # EAP-Identity response is received. # # The incoming EAP messages DO NOT specify which EAP # type they will be using, so it MUST be set here. # # For now, only one default EAP type may be used at a time. # # If the EAP-Type attribute is set by another module, # then that EAP type takes precedence over the # default type configured here. # default_eap_type = peap # A list is maintained to correlate EAP-Response # packets with EAP-Request packets.
