FreeRadius Authentication

Hi, I have installed FreeRadius, and would like to know what is the best way to connect with a mobile client using dell AP with the basic configuration. That is no security, encryption etc. Currently, FreeRadius just sits there waiting and i am able to get to the unsecured network without any interference from the server, although AP has been configured to look at the radius server. Second, question is how to enable OpenSSL after FreeRadius has been installed. Thanks. Hamid.
