Greetings,

 

I am trying to authenticate my network against Windows 2003 Active Directory. With help from Ivan Kalik, I was able to use NTLM to communicate with Windows 2003 server and authenticate EAP clients. On the EAP side I am using PEAP since they are mostly windows XP clients and I don’t think there is another choice (please correct me if I am wrong). However on the Radius server side, I seem to have options. It seems that I can use NTLM, Kerberos 5 or LDAP to authenticate with Windows Domain Controller. So my questions are:

 

Can I use any of them? If yes, could you send me helpful links about how to use Kerberos 5 and LDAP? Which one is the most recommended and why?

 

You may have noticed that I have posted several questions these days and I really appreciate your help! Now I am really a fan of FreeRadius. I really want to learn it well and understand what it’s capable of. I am a Cisco guy and I have some Linux experience but no programming experience. Can any of you recommend me a book about how to use FreeRadius? I think that will stop me asking stupid questions…

 

Thank you!
