Thank you for the feedback Kris! I truly appreciate it.
I shall send the HOWTO to you in a separate email.

 Remember: the logs only show what is sent to the radius server -- if the
 WAP doesn't send an accounting packet or authentication packet, nothing
 will be in your logs.
 
 I don't think this is a freeradius issue but I need to verify with
 someone that this is not a radius related problem. 
 
 It doesn't sound like it is.
 
 Is there any configuration parameters within freeradius that I can tweak
 to debug and check that radius is not the one causing this problem?
 
 Well, if you start radius like so: radiusd -X it will output debug info
 to stdout.  It's rather complete information, but it only starts one
 process and may cause more output than you really want.
 
 Logically, I don't think it's a radius issue but I might be wrong.
 
 The only way it's a radius issue is if the machine is trying to
 reauthenticate, and radius is denying it the second time.  Of course, this
 would show up in the radius logs if your AP was doing the right thing.
 
 If there is anyone that would like to get a copy of our RADIUS + TLS
 HOWTO documentation with to find out how we did this integration, please
 send me a personal email and I will send the PDF copy over.
 
 I'd love to see your documentation -- we're in the process of writing our
 own now, and anything that might have some more gotchas is good.

Freeradius + TLS for Wifi networks

2005-08-03 Thread Moonshi Mohsenruddin
Hello there,

I am implementing freeradius with openssl to do authentication for Wifi
Windows XP clients with Wireless Access Points which has support for
WPA.

I am using a CommGate Shield product which is based on Red Hat Linux 9.0
with the latest patches, with a custom-compiled freeradius-1.0.4 and
openssl-0.98 as the base system. 

After the compilation and configuration, we did our testing with a
Windows XP Pro SP2 client and the integration was successful. 

However, I noticed that we have had multiple dropped connections from
Windows XP Pro with the Planet WAP-4000 and 3Com Office Connect Wireless
Access Points every 30 to 45 minutes but the freeradius server logs does
not show any errors.

I don't think this is a freeradius issue but I need to verify with
someone that this is not a radius related problem. 


My question:

HOWTO documentation with to find out how we did this integration, please
