Hey guys,

I want to implement the Cisco WLC 5508 to FreeRadius server, basically the FreeRadius Server is integrate with LDAP.
The connection will look like diagram below,


WLC 5508 --------> FreeRadius (Integrated LDAP)

The connection between WLC 5508 to FreeRadius is using EAP.

I got an errors while doing the test, the errors are below,

+- entering group authorize {...}

What are the possibility that the authentication failed between Cisco WLC to FreeRadius??

Hope you guys can assist me on this particular issues.

Really appreciate it for your help.

Thanks & Regards,
