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:
...
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!!
...remember though that working != secure [necessarily]. Clients defaulting to accept any radius server cert, or those that default to prompt the user, are vulnerable to rogue AP/credential stealing attacks etc. This may be acceptable in your environment, but if not, you'll still need to actively configure the client. -James -- James J J Hooper Network Specialist, University of Bristol http://www.wireless.bristol.ac.uk --
