Configuration for md5 not working
Running freeradius 2.1.6 on CentOS 5.3 I have everything configured for md5 authentication so that I do not need to use either server or client-side certificates. I have my access points configured in /etc/raddb/clients.conf and my users configured in /etc/raddb/users My access point is set to WPA Enterprise security using a RADIUS server. When I try to connect to the network, all I get is "Windows is unable to connect to the wireless network" No prompt for username/password or anything. Can someone tell me if its my radius configuration that is bad or my access point or what? Thanks

Run the server in debugging mode as suggested in the FAQ, README, INSTALL, "man" page, and daily on this list. Is the server receiving packets? No - blame Windows and/or the NAS Yes - READ the debug output. Alan DeKok.
Hi,

My access point is set to WPA Enterprise security using a RADIUS server.
cool. last time i checked you couldnt use MD5 as a method for wireless 802.1X - there are only certain EAP types that can be used - PEAP, EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS etc being some of them. MD5 is fine for wired because - ha ha - wired 802.1X is a bit of a joke really - all it does is authenticate you, there is no link layer encryption going on - unlike WPA Enterprise wireless - which all gets encapsulated in an EAP tunnel - hence you need specific types of EAP for wifi ..all you need to do to get this working is set the RADIUS server up to have a certificate signed by a known (ie in windows, MACOSX and linux) CA and use PEAP on your clients alan
