Fair enough, a common thing to do.

Great.

You did think of adding the Microsoft TLS Web Server Authentication OID?

Which is completely useless for debugging. This is *normal* with PEAP. If you 
want people here to help, you should do as the FAQ tells you and send a 
*complete* *debug* log.

I would exchange tipps for a decent debug log.
