Ivan, I copied over the servers ca.pem to my workstation for use in this test. My first try gave me client errors so I fixed those by creating a network -copied this from the example. client 192.168.0.0/24 { require_message_authenticator = no secret = "testing123" shortname = "private-network-1" } After restarting Free Radius here's the results from my terminal - sorry this is long. Can you give me any hints on what went wrong here? ------------------------------------------------- [root@ns1 ~]# radiusd -X FreeRADIUS Version 2.1.6, for host i386-redhat-linux-gnu, built on Jun 2 2009 at 17:33:54 Copyright (C) 1999-2009 The FreeRADIUS server project and contributors.

Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2009 22:17:46 +0100 (BST)

Now that I have my 1st. test user working with clear text passwords I am ready to setup WPA - Enterprise (PEAP). I noticed in my client (RedHat RHEL Workstation) will need a CA.Cert in the connection settings. Can I simply copy the FR ca.pem file to my client for this or not?

Yes.

If I need to create my own CA is there a guide for doing this for Free Radius. I have read all the docs and can not find a clear approach.

Alan, In the users file I simply put steven Cleartext-Password := "glider" My client (redhat workstation) side the settings are: Security: WPA2 & WPA2 Enterprise (only choice for Enterprise) Authentication: Protected EAP (PEAP) Anonymous Identity: blank CA Certificate: ca.pem [copied from the servers cert directory] PEAP Version: Version 1 Inner Authentication: MSCHAPv2 User Name: steven Password: glider That's it - does that help you understand what's "not happening"?

okay - whats at line 79 of your Users file? you're trying to use EAP/PEAP (PEAPv0/MSCHAPv2) from your accounts - so whats the info you put into the users file? alan - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

Alan, Success. After switching from PEAPv1 to v0.

nope. PEAPv0 (version 0) only - PEAPv1 is a very special thing. alan - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
