Hi,
I'm setting up Freeradius2 (FreeRADIUS Version 2.1.7) for WPA Enterprise 2, and I have it basically working. my iPhone/iPad are able to authenticate and connect via the base station. However my Mac (OSX 10.6 Snow leopard) Laptops are having issues.
I do not want to push out Client certificates to the laptops. I also do not want people to have to perform any customisations on the clients.
When the laptop attempts to join the network I get a nice login window, with username/password. This is fine. However without playing with the network settings (802.1x settings). I'm not able to join the network because I do not have a client Cert:
EAP-TLS *requires* a client cert. If you want to use EAP-TLS, you will have to do something on the clients.
If you want to use PEAP or something, there are two things to consider - the default eap type in eap.conf:
eap { default_eap_type = peap ... }
...and the default EAP type on MacOS.
PEAP & TTLS require the "tls" EAP type to be configured I think; I'm not sure you can disable EAP-TLS, as this will break PEAP & TTLS. The best you can do is change the default types.
If changing it on the server doesn't accomplish it, then I think you're going to have to do some config on the clients. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
Yup that was it... I changed "default_eap_type=md5" to "default_eap_type=ttls" and now the Macs are able to authenticate without Certs or any configuration on their side!! Cheers, --Guy
