This is obviously totally not cool, and will probably force us to jumpstart our freeradius efforts. The pain in the butt is that we just did our official rollout of the 802.1X/WPA2 wireless this week, and all the docs point to verifying the cert of the SBR server. Not an insurmountable deal to fix, but it looks bad if we have to switch. OTOH, switching now will be the best time to do it before we get a lot of people using the service, and it would be better than having people masquerade as other users in the accounting records You may also want to consider Radiator. I've found the support from the OSC folks to be much more friendly that some of the folks on the freeradius list. We use it and it's very flexible. We've even dealt with most of the issues that you raise.. -JEff ** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.

You have to understand, though, that he and the rest of the support folks (myself included from time to time) deal with the same questions every single day from people who don't read through the list archives to see if their questions have been answered in the past. Since FreeRADIUS is one of a very few free RADIUS servers that support EAP, lots of people try to use it for this without having any clue what they're doing. Its the same issue as with lots of other open source projects. Because the support is free as well as the software, people are expected to do their homework and ask intelligent questions. Unfortunately this doesn't happen in many cases. There *are* companies, though, that do offer support contracts for FreeRADIUS IIRC. --Mike ** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature
