Re: Any interoperability issues with Aruba and Freeradius
Aruba now say they only support eap-tls and eap-peap when you offload eap onto their mobility controllers. Rgds Alex On 8 Feb 2013, at 16:46, freeradius-users-request@lists.freeradius.org wrote:

That is a stupid response from them. If they follow the specs, they should pass EAP straight through to the RADIUS server. If they do anything else, they are *intentionally* breaking inter-operability. So you're forced to buy their crappy RADIUS server. All of the other WiFi vendors can get EAP to work. If Aruba can't, it's because (a) they're incompetent, or (b) being rude about it. Alan DeKok.
I have to say that in their defence, the eap offloading is switched off by default and you do actually have to switch it on. A On 8 Feb 2013, at 17:27, Alan DeKok <aland@deployingradius.com> wrote:

Well, don't do offload - it's a pretty bad idea anyway, and vendors have a history of mangling it.
