Hello John -
The first thing to do is check whether or not your wireless client actually displays anything meaningful when it receives a radius reject (most don't display the reply message in any case).
regards
Hugh

I'm setting up Radius to support authentication for wireless gateways.
One of the issues we are investigating is how to handle scheduled wireless outages. The easy answer is turn off the radio transmitter via snmp but we'd prefer to have a better way so users
would be aware of why they can't use wireless at that time/location.
I'm wondering if Radius could be used.
ie:
New Sessions:
Users trying to logon from location (based on ip number) could be rejected after database check
and applicable attribute (message) returned. This seems simple. Anyone doing that type of thing?
Active Sessions:
Get list of active sessions from that location and force them to reauthenticate so they can same attribute/outage message. Not sure if this is possible without using snmp against access point or wireless gateway? Would terminating the Radius sessions do anything?
Thanks in advance.
