For thoses, who are interested by setting up PEAP/MSHCAP under Freeradius 2.14, I wrote a simple how-to. I hope it could help someone. :) INSTALLATION PROCESS: FREERADIUS 2.14 (PEAP – MSCHAP) === OS : === - Ubuntu Server 8.10 ====== SWITCH: ====== - HP 2600 ========== Pre-requires : ========== - Samba installed (or sudo apt-get install samba smbfs) - Kerberos installed (or sudo apt-get install krb5-clients krb5-user) ============== Table of contents : ============== *Setting Procurve HP Switch *Installation of OpenSSL 0.9.8j *Installation of Freeradius 2.14 *Integrate the radius server to the domain *Testing to join the AD domain *Authenticate with NTLM using EAP – PEAP *Configuring Freeradius *Testing authentication process *Starting freeradius into background mode ===================== Setting Procurve HP Switch: ===================== ;

LACP allows a switch to negotiate an automatic bundle by sending LACP packets to the peer. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/-How-To--Freeradius-2.14-%28PEAP-%E2%80%93-MSCHAP%29-t...
