Dear Sergio,
Sorry for the delay in the reply, I just wanted to drop you a note related to the problem that you have mention in your e-mail to freeradius-users lists on 18th of April ..
We had experienced the same problem with some Vista machines - especially 64bit versions .. For this we have used differently compiled version of SecureW2 that you can download from here http://www.hofhom.nl/securew2/ .. We are using this version now for some of Vista clients with no any problem .. If you have already successfully solved the problem in different way, can you please drop me a note on this .. If you already solved in the same way, just ignore this e-mail ..
Thanks and BR,
Tural Kaptan Technical Manager ALTO/IT Solutions
Hi Tural, Sorry for reply to the list, but I think that maybe it's useful for someone. I'll try this version, since enter user and password in securew2 instead of waiting for dialog box appears didn't solve the problem. Thanks in advance. -- -- Open Kairos http://www.openkairos.com Watch More TV http://sebelk.blogspot.com Sergio Belkin -
Some time ago, I've found the atypical fashion of managing permissions. In my job, I was trying to make SecureW2 - a software that provides TTLS to Windows systems - works on Windows Vista. During about a month I was breaking my head against the wall, trying to figure out why on most laptops SecureW2 was failing. It's ok, I must admit that I don't like Windows. At home I use Linux, at work most of the time I use Linux too. You can say that I am a stupid when I tell you why SecureW2 was not working on Vista. SecureW2 was not working because most of users run software as a non-privileged user. So the solution was to click with right button of mouse and then clic in Run as administrator… What a weird way of security approach, but the worst to me is the strange way of communicate to users. If an action needs more privileges, I thing the right thing is tell the problem to the user and not depend of telepathy. Because of this, I like so much Linux. Linux it's not a perfect OS, but it tell you when you must run either root or take more privileges. -- -- Open Kairos http://www.openkairos.com Watch More TV http://sebelk.blogspot.com Sergio Belkin -
