Rather I need a secure channel between a 802.1x Network Access Device ( like an access point ) and freeradius. On Mon, Aug 5, 2013 at 5:59 PM, <A.L.M.Buxey@lboro.ac.uk> wrote:
Hi,
We have a a supplicant that is our own box doing client 802.1x authentication using freeradius. We do not establish a TLS/IPSec connection between the supplicant and freeradius. We need to establish a secure channel between the supplicant and freeradius.
NAS or supplicant? a supplicant never talks to the RADIUS - its all done via the NAS.
there are plenty of options to you - you already have thought about one method - use a VPN (DTLS/IPsec based...up to you) to tunnel the RADIUS though.
or , if the NAS can do it, think about RADSEC - FreeRADIUS 3 supports RADSEC and its the way to go unless you want to forget RADIUS and use DIAMETER instead.
